10 of the best: nature photographs.

Brattfors was a very small village not far from Karlstad if I remember correctly. I was 12 years old at the time and did learn a little Swedish but have forgotten it over the years. Du gamla, Du fria, your National Anthem we were taught.

I wish you all the luck you need, FBM. Can't get enough of your striking photographs!

Bow Lake ~ Alberta, Canada

Already posted this elsewhere, but I love it so much that I just had to share it!

I had a fantastic time watching the Quadrantids this morning, but only got one to show up in an exposure, sadly. Hardly worth posting, but here is the one I got:



Saw gobs and gobs, though, many of which were clearly in front of my glass. Not sure why they didn't show up in the exposures.

Faroe Islands

Taken from "Countryfile Calendar 2014"......and this is just as good as any stained window, in my opinion....



Sunset In Hastings, England.

Every once in a while I luck out and take a great nature photograph.

beauteous...

'tis kind of you..

I agree. Haven't driven into PS for several years now, but I used to like the place.
Those mountains, as Panzade probably knows, are the San Jacintos; my brother in law built a place on the other side of them, in a small community called Pine Cove, near Idyllwild.

Here's a picture, not all so unusual but in a relatively unusual place -

Nature at it's most frightening - hitting Cumbrian houses in the North-West of England yesterday.

The San Jacintos are awesome.
I used to surf Biarritz, just up the coast, back in the 70's

And in the early sixties, some of us working for an m.d. after school got to be friends. Friends's father was the writer/main guy for the My Three Sons series. She was energetic, interested in stuff all around, and me too, by then, by the skin of my teeth - I had just woken up.

Her dad had a pad in Palm Springs to write in, not fancy, the opposite, and we went there a few times. I well remember an empty small pool, all of us going to the store to get snacks and magazines, hating date shakes, the movies being a cool place when it was 118. Well, I'm conflating, I don't think Georgia took us there when it was 118 - that was another episode.

Main thing I remember is that the first time I heard the Beatles was Georgia driving and whacking her ring on the steering wheel, taking us there.

Ok, ok, back with nature photos in a bit.

Wow.

That picture clearly show more than luck. 'That was awesome.
That is well-composed masterpiece.

I know this for a fact. You know a lot about balancer and composition and as an appreciator of art (as are many others on here). You got art.

With the cold and winter in parts of USA and Canada plus floodings in UK I just want to post a picture showing the amazing wonders in natur and pleasure of the coming spring
