Lazarow World-Hike-About

Jen on the way back after reaching a highpoint well above her current position. Not that much of a highpoint but rather, a tricky position. The cable-car delivers passengers to the peak or, one can hike to the top and dare say, back down. Indicates much of the human spirit of adverture. (Aiguille du Midi, in the Mont Blanc Masssif of the French Alps). Jen leaving France and entering Switzerland, quite the international traveler/hiker. On the way back from a pretty exciting adventure. Chamonix, considered the birthplace of modern mountaineering. Finding its way down from the peak. Jen looks a little confused as she makes her way toward the higher ground. Looks like she found what she sought...and pretty nice, too. (Lac Blanc.) Serene, particularly should one not be in the air. Superb positioning of a lake...wish I had thought of it. Jen takes the ladder. He takes the easier route upwards. Nice afternoon in the mountains...no, I wasn't los...

On a peak across the way. Can one be anything but overwhelmed by the surround. After reaching the pond below, more than an hour distant, Jen strives to reach the station further ahead. A mix of color, shapes, sizes and patterns. A time of absorption and always, wonder. Another mix of gorgeous scenes. And yet, something still different. Finally, we appear be making some progress. A personal favorite as it reflects. Kutelo and Vihren appear to smile...reluctantly. Another powerful showing available when one knows where to seek. Always something differing in view. Have to love the coloring...so distinctive. Telephoto lense brings in the subjects up close. And may we add, rather unique. Along the water it reflects, not missing a stone. Yet again, we think a rather distinctive look. Deep in the gorge, sheer delight. Above the village. Incredible isolation, a time of/for reflection and solitude. In the mess...but a gorgeous o...

Jen heading for Vihren Peak, the final stage of a remarkable adventure. (Pirin Mountain Range). Partway up to numerous destinations, the brief stop allows for a break at Bezbog Lake. Continuing to the peak of Mount Vihren, the second highest mountain in Bulgaria (by a couple of meters). After walking along Vihren Peak, time to return via the long route back. Jen is startled to learn that we still have far to climb to achieve, at least, some success. Sitting high up on the mountain, but still way below Vihren Mountain, while absorbing as much as possible, which is in fact, very little. (Bansko ski village). Reaching a smaller, but testing peak at Mount Polezon. (Popovo Lake at rear). Allow nature to complete the picture (and everything else). Taking advantage of the short-duration, but overwhelming autumn season. Stepping out using a new style to negotiate the rocks...so he says. Jen faces a dilemma: 'To turn or to continue, t...
