The Lockheed U-2, often referred to as the "Dragon Lady," is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that has been in service since the Cold War era. Known for its ability to operate at altitudes above 70,000 feet, the U-2 has played a crucial role in intelligence gathering and surveillance missions for decades.

I don't often post photos of urban landscapes, but look at this view of Cusco. Cusco is the capital of archaeology in all of South America. At 3,400 metres above sea level, Cusco quite literally sits closer to the heavens. In Cusco the gods are so close you can almost touch them!

Thompson daisies and prairie rattlers are out. The rattler was very upset at seeing me. No photo while I quickly climbed out of its rocky domain.

Europe from above. 35.000 ft. to be exact. Probably above Austria. I took this photo during my recent trip to Amsterdam, Holland. Time had to pass somehow.

3,805 meters above sea level as seen on my #CasioProtrek

Some people have difficulty breathing at these high altitudes.

On the way to pico austria, near La Paz in Bolivia. This 5300 m peak was quite a hike - air gets thin up her.
However, panorama was nice😁😎🥰 #traveling #southamerica #bolivia #bolivien #reisen #photography #nikonphotography #d7500 #landscapephotography #naturephotos #naturephotography #nature #pictureoftheday #potd #picoaustria #hiking #climbing #mountaineering #mountains #highaltitude

▴ Schwarzberg Glacier

As an alternative to Zermatt, the Saastal in Switzerland also offers scenic trails, including routes leading to the Schwarzberg Glacier. However, like all alpine glaciers, it has been retreating significantly due to rising temperatures, exposing more rock and gradually reshaping the surrounding landscape.

A rugged alpine trail leading toward the Schwarzberg Glacier in the Pennine Alps, Valais, Switzerland. The glacier, partially covered in debris, contrasts with the rocky terrain and patches of alpine vegetation, while jagged peaks rise in the background under a deep blue sky with scattered clouds.

Me launching my first high altitude balloon!

This was actually balloon launch at OH3AA - so not my balloon, but got a chance to launch it (thanks @mikaelnou and for the photo).
