The last Mountain Monday recap. Thanks again everyone for 7.5 years of Mountain Monday. :)
The Last Mountain Monday Recap

So I've decided that since there is much less participation now, this will be the last Mountain Monday recap. Thanks again to everyone who has participated in this theme for the past 7 years and 5 months! This is recap number 364 (approximately) and week number 388 of the theme overall! That is a lot of Mountain Mondays and recaps but this one is special in two ways. First because it is the last one but also because I've finally made it! This is my first time making it into the recap post - but with my very first MM photograph. Yay! :D

Going forward until the demise of G+ in about a month I will still be looking at all your Mountain Monday posts - but I'll reshare the odd post to my time line and the page instead of assembling this recap. I'd thought about doing that years ago instead of a recap but I'll do it now for the next few weeks. So if you post to #mountainmonday I'll read your posts as always, and perhaps share it with others directly.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in #mountainmonday these past 7+ years!

Dear Mountain Monday Participants,

This is not a final goodbye, but I wanted to say a few things now rather than later as more and more people leave Google Plus prior to the final shutdown scheduled in April. If I posted this in April very few might see it. Participation in #MountainMonday is waning, and that is understandable. People are looking now for new networks, or reinvest in older ones (Flickr, anyone?) to fill the void that the absence of G+ may leave for them. I wanted to say that it has been a lot of fun to host Mountain Monday! If G+ had made it to September this theme would have run for 8 years! It has been great to look at all of your mountain photography (and paintings, on occasion) over the years. Many people I have met here on G+ have shown me locations through their photography that I will never be able to visit in person. I never expected to become aware of great mountain scenery in countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan. These are locations that are not mentioned in terms of scenery in most Western media.

Going forward to the end of G+ I'll still be looking for your Mountain Monday posts, and as I collect posts over several weeks - I'll still post the recaps. I am considering reposting a few very very old recaps from 7+ years ago - it might be interesting for some to see the photographers who were frequent participants long ago. I'll probably pick these somewhat randomly.

Above all I'd like to thank everyone who has participated in Mountain Monday be it recently or from the very beginning. It is your photography that made this a popular theme that continued on for so long.

Thank you, everyone.

Michael Russell

Mountain Monday 7th Anniversary Recap

This recap is a bit late - but I was traveling this past week and couldn't post until today. Thanks again to all those who participate in Mountain Monday! Some of you have been with the theme for years and I really appreciate that. Couldn't happen without all the people who post! As we heard the news today that G+ is winding down I just wanted to tell everyone that as long as people use the tag - I'll read those posts and do a recap (even if not weekly) until they turn the lights off. Here are the participating photographs from last week:
