Paula at Lost in Translation has given us a list of five words to chose from for her Thursday Special this week. Her words are,
elusive
viscid
brilliant
profusion
and disorder
Flying over north east Borneo to Sabah, there’s good chance you’ll see Mount Kinabalu, unless you’re very fit, you’ll find it pretty elusive otherwise. Even seven years ago I wouldn’t have been fit enough to climb it, mountain are for looking at!
Taken from a plane window, this is isn’t the clearest image, if it was it wouldn’t be quite as elusive would it? 🙂
Paula would love to see you too, pop across and say hello.

Wonderful photo and yes, definitely an elusive mountain.
My daughter returned home yesterday after an attempt at climbing Kinabalu…..you really need to train for this, as altitude sickness can add to your lack of fitness.Me? I’ll hope for glimpses from plane windows (or, more comfortably), her photos
And I thought people did not like my words 😀 I have a deep love for mountains, but my appreciation of them is usually from the bottom. I am very happy you joined, Gilly and very appreciative of your choice of word and interpretation. These clouds look very elusive too.
Excellent take on the challenge, Gilly!
I totally agree with you!
I’m pleased you chose Kinabalu. My partner has climbed it so it’s interesting to catch a glimpse of it. Your photograph reminds me of a flight over the Alps when a voice in my ear said “That’s Mont Blanc, and that’s the route I took when I climbed it”. It was a surreal moment!
I’m smiling! 🙂 🙂 You always have that effect on me!
Super capture of the elusive mountain, Gilly. Yes, definitely for just looking at. 🙂
