I thought it would be interesting to see photos of peoples hikes or walks. Please post photos here! 

I will kick off with a recent hike I did to Bald Head in Albany, Western Australia.

The Bald Head trail is a total of 12.5km (there and back again) and is rated as difficult. Elevation gain is 616m, but it is up and down the whole way. I went with a friend and we had a good day, but by the end we were pretty tired. Here are some pictures

A beautiful native orchid we found - Pink Fairy Orchid I think

 I thought we'd got there. I felt tired enough! But no - lots more ups and downs and rocks to climb yet!

 But we made it. Here it is, plus miles and miles of the Antarctic Ocean

 On the way back - you can see the trail crossing the Isthmus.

Hello how’re you doing 

[Hmkitten]

This is from one of my most recent hikes with my partner, Link.

Here are some photos of a hike I took before the weather in the mountains got cold and snowy here in Wyoming.

Such a lovely view 

[NellyG]

@Charles912 Hi to you too! Have you taken any photos recently? We'd love to see some!

@Hmkitten Beautiful view and a nice looking dog. He looks a bit like a kelpie to me. What is he? What area of the world were you walking in? Somewhere with wide open spaces for sure!

@alexthecat Amazing scenery! Do you live close to the mountains?

[DavideFitbit]

Beautiful pictures, @NellyG! I'd love to go to Australia and visit the Gold Coast. This hike looks fantastic too! 😀

That looks great, @alexthecat, my sister went to Yellowstone a few months ago and took some great pictures, the landscapes in Wyoming the best! 😎 

[NellyG]

@DavideFitbit Don't limit yourself to the Gold Coast! 😂

[alexthecat]

@DavideFitbit I moved to Wyoming about 4 years ago. I really love it here. I'd like to go to Australia too! I have family there now, but I've never visited. 

@NellyG That's about an hour from where I live. I don't spend as much time in the mountains as I should. I'm working on changing that. 

[DavideFitbit]

Haha, I know, I still have to do my research before I go, @NellyG! It's a huge country with so many great things to see. 😀

It's a beautiful part of the country, @alexthecat! It's definitely on my bucket list, alongside Zion National Park. 😎

@NellyG -- I love that little orchid.  Seasons are just the opposite here in Baltimore, but still beautiful.

The leaves they be a falling ...

@Hmkitten - what a good looking dog you have!

[DavideFitbit]

Wonderful pic, @Baltoscott! I love the fall colors. 

I've been watching some compilations on YouTube for the best fall destinations in the US, there are so many good ones! 

[Baltoscott]

@DavideFitbit — I really like all the scenery changes that fall brings.  My wife’s not a fan because she does’t like cold weather and that’s what is coming, but I just layer up, get on my bike or walking shoes and enjoy the outside.

So beautiful 

[NellyG]

@Baltoscott generally we don't get much autumn colour here. The evergreens stay green (out natives are all evergreen) and unless it is a very cold autumn the deciduous trees just go basically brown with a bit of redness or yellow thrown in. There's the old tree variety that gets good colour, but not many. When I visited the US a few years back I was amazed at the  amount and diversity of the autumn colour. Really amazing.

@Juliaann They are great pictures, aren't they?

[DavideFitbit]

Yes, that's the best part, @Baltoscott! It almost feels like one is in a different city, because of all the different colors. Weather can be challenging, but it definitely worth it. 😎 

[NellyG]

Here's another walk I did recently. It is in the Porongurup Range about half an hour from where I live and is a walk up to Castle Rock and the Skywalk up there. It is only 4.4km including return and is easier than the last walk I reported on, except the very end with is quite challenging where you have to  climb up rocks and then up a ladder to reach the skywalk. The view is amazing though.

@NellyG — I’m always amazed when I see boulders just randomly standing in the landscape. When ponder how it got there, and how looooong it has been there, you feel quite small.  Great picture.

[NellyG]

@Baltoscott Yes I agree. I'm a bit hesitant to stand too close, but it hasn't moved in years so is probably fine 😂

How do I post a picture ?
