Telephoto Landscapes -- Post Your's!

I'm primarily a landscape and wildlife photographer, so I always have a few telephoto lenses in my pack when out on a hike. I really like using telephoto lenses in many landscape situations to bring a sense of grandeur to the scene.

I'd like to see others use of telephoto lenses in landscapes. I'd think the minimum I think of as a telephoto is in the 70mm range. So post up your telephoto landscapes!

Here are a few telephoto landscapes I've shot over the past year.

This first batch was shot with an old Takumar 135mm F3.5 Preset (silver addition with 42mm filter diameter).
