Wow! Great view!
Amazing!

Thanks for sharing what some would never be able to experience, but can, through you.
Your pictures as well as the terrain you have chosen are simple fantastic...........
(Side note), you must be in fantastic physical shape to endure the rigors of "a hike" to what appears to be the "top of the world".

Thanks! My favorite aspect of photography is sharing sights we don't usually see...whether its the vista of a summit or the geometry of a bridge.
I am not in fantastic shape. I am generally the slowest on the mountain. But where I lack in cardio and strength, I make up for it in stubbornness and heart

Which explains many of the unique pictures you've shared in the past.
Two great qualities to be able to tap into.I am not in fantastic shape. I am generally the slowest on the mountain. But where I lack in cardio and strength, I make up for it in stubbornness and heart

looks like ocean waves in the background!
Thank you!
What looks even more like ocean waves is being on the summit of a mountain when the sky is "undercast", to borrow a term from the Mt. Washington Observatory. You and the neighboring peaks are higher than the clouds. The effect is magnified at a low light time, such as sunrise.
I took these almost 3 years ago. You have to either get up very early, or stay up very late to be on the summit of a mountain at sunrise...something I haven't done since then.

The "scratches" in these next two images are contrails from 6am flights.

They are glorious, my friend . All New Hampshire 168 needs are some seagulls around the 'rocks' and the illusion would be perfect!

Went back to the same mountain, but didn't have the 6+ hours I needed for a summit hike. So, I went exploring instead.
Apparently I was up for an adventure before I even reached the trailhead

One brave soul was out there...he was relaxing at a picnic table when I went by. I didn't photograph him, but I did sneak in a shot of his tent
