Ah, is that Waterton Lakes NP? We considered going there on our roadtrip during which I took this photo, but it was too far off our route.

Depending on your idea of „right above“, maybe yes. It’s a 700km drive from Glacier NP.

Looking forward to seeing the result!

Please go ahead!

Same here!

Viel Spaß!

That sounds wonderful, I don’t mind at all. Thank you!

These are all great, third one’s my favorite!

This was in 2015.

I assume you are aware, but just in case: make sure Tioga Road is open before making plans to go. It’s closed due to snow for quite a long time each year.

This was long ago (2014) but I checked where I stayed the night before: it was Yosemite Westgate Lodge, about a 1h:30mins drive away. This photo was taken at 7am in the morning, so I must have started fairly early.

A vibrant sunset over the ocean on the Big Island of Hawaii. The sun is low on the horizon, casting an orange glow across the sky and reflecting on the water’s surface.

This black and white photo captures Akaka Falls plunging down a cliff face on Hawaii's Big Island. The waterfall appears as a delicate white ribbon against dark walls, with tropical foliage framing the bottom of the scene. The long exposure creates a smooth, ethereal quality to the falling water that contrasts with the rocky cliff face.
