I set off at 5am on a 3 hour drive to get the sunrise on Buachaille Etive Mor (the mountain in the background). The weather forecast had said it would be clear at first with rain moving in later. You can see from the sky that was not quite the case when I got there. It's not the photo I wanted and I've had to tweak this a lot but I wanted to post some outcome for my day!!
I was up in Perthshire this morning and these trees caught my eye - the colours were absolutely stunning.

A small flock of very inquisitive sheep watched as I took a panoramic shot of the sun setting over the Warwickshire countryside near Wappenbury woods which is on the right of this shot. 5 handheld Lscape images stitched in PS.

The sky around the Kelpies was mostly cloudy, but was clearer further east, so the sunrise created this colourful backdrop for me.

Il Castello del Boccale si innalza a Livorno, a sud di Antignano, lungo la strada costiera per Quercianella nel tratto di costa chiamato "Boccale" o "Cala dei Pirati". Il castello risale alla seconda metà dell'Ottocento, quando fu costruito sopra una torre medicea del 1595. Era una delle tante torri di avvistamento che presidiavano la costa in un complesso sistema di difesa.

"At sea, you learn important things when everything is calm, but you only understand the fundamental ones with a storm."
The Castello del Boccale rises in Livorno, south of Antignano, along the coastal road to Quercianella in the stretch of coast called "Boccale" or "Cala dei Pirati". The castle dates back to the second half of the nineteenth century, when it was built over a Medici tower in 1595. It was one of the many watch towers that guarded the coast in a complex defense system.

A popular site in Portknockie is Bow Fiddle Rock, a large rock about 50 feet high just off the coast. The quartzite structure has a large sea arch, which somewhat resembles the bow of a fiddle, making it an example of a natural arch.

Happy Fence Friday!
I found this little waterfall on the website ctwaterfalls.com. Since where I live in N Indiana is so flat, there really isn't much in the way of waterfalls to photograph, so visiting Connecticut gives me the chance to indulge in one of my favorite subjects to photograph. On this morning, however, I forgot my tripod! So, I used my sweatshirt instead to prop my camera on for this shot. And despite the title, no showers were taken by me at this location.
The building in this shot is Ossians Hall a Folly at the Hermitage in Perthshire. The trees are just starting to turn there now, in another couple of weeks it will be spectacular but unfortunately I am away (on another holiday) so will miss this.
I used a polariser on this just to cut the reflections on the rocks and the leaves, this and an ND grad helped to take the exposure time down to 1 second which was just enough to keep some structure in the water, while smoothing it out.
View large to enjoy the details!
Sumac is typically among the first to change to autumn colors, and where I live, the transformation is already well under way.

...this cottage still looks beautiful. Until a couple of years ago, this was the home of our biology teacher and his wife. They lived here for about 5 decades. The maturity and extent of the planting reflects the care that they took.

Although I bracketed five shots, in this instance I preferred the result of processing just a single shot with local adjustments over the HDR version.
When driving Alberta's stunning Icefields Parkway one must stop at iconic Peyto Lake.
This "dog headed" lake is glacially fed by the Peyto Glacier, which provides the rock flour that creates these striking blue/teal tones.
Thanks for any comments, faves and suggestions.
