If you hop onto Google+ on any given day, there’s a good chance that users will be trending a highly impressive collection of photography, whether it be their own or curated from other users on the network. That’s because Google+ is distinguishing itself as the premier social network for photography buffs.

Last week, Monday was dominated by the close-up photographers of #MacroMonday. Today, everybody has taken a step back to focus on the majesty of mountains.

It’s #MountainMonday on Google+, and here are some of the best submissions:

My contribution to #MountainMonday by +Michael Russell .

I enjoy living in England, but I miss the mountains so much. If I could be anywhere in the world right now, it would be right here at Mount Rundle in Banff, Alberta. The most beautiful place I've ever photographed!

Sunrise image made on the Trotternish ridge on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.  I will now try to catch a little the backlog in the images and share with you some of my recent images that I like. After a very intense Photokina weekend in Koln time to prepare for the autumn. My +fstop Tilopa BC is cleaned and ready. By the way big thanks to the fstop team present at Photokina It was a pleasure to meet you and talk to you 🙂
