Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire where everything I needed all appeared at the same time, mist, sunlight and autumnal colours and simply in awe of the spectacle that faced me.
So, same tree as the first shot I posted from this session but taken at a different time and about 6 foot to the right as the sun had moved. Amazed at the dynamic range that was in the raw file, no hdr for this.
I live in San Diego, California, so I am no stranger to spectacular Pacific sunsets. That said, I spent several years at sea with the Navy and sunsets on the open ocean are on a different plane. While this is not from the deck of a ship, it is from Two Lovers Point on Tumon Bay in Guam.
I don't know if there is science to back up the theory that the cloud formations are inherently different...but I can say that I certainly miss this aspect of my former career.
And I can't fake another smile (and I can't fake)
And I can't fake like I'm alright (no smile)
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah, ooh)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine (I'm feeling fine)
After what I been through, I can't lie
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
Looking north east on the banks of Loch Awe, I could sit here all day long, as every moment that passes offers something new to cherish
Our journey most days started and ended with us driving passed Kilchurn Castle, so i thought i would take the opportunity "as it would be rude not to" to photograph it over the three days of passing!
Here you see the ruin of Kilchurn Castle on the shores of Loch Awe (Argyll & Bute, Scotland).

Defnitely one of the places to be, when you´re on your way to this beautiful country.

Thank you all so much for your comments & faves.
There have been several eagle sightings in my neighborhood, but I was not lucky enough to see one until yesterday am. I came out of my driveway to a nearby crossroad and this one was straight ahead of me in a pecan tree. Of course, no camera in the car, but he was kind enough to wait on me to pull off this still shot and then he flew. Luckily, I had installed my telephoto and new extender the day before!!
Kilchurn Castle is a ruined structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It was first constructed in the mid-15th century as the base of the Campbells of Glenorchy, who extended both the castle and their territory in the area over the next 150 years. After the Campbells became Earls of Breadalbane and moved to Taymouth Castle, Kilchurn fell out of use and was in ruins by 1770. It is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and is open to the public in summer.
Being in Mount Athos, you inevitably seek to shed light into the most dark corners of your own existence...

Another image from a perfect morning for photograph on Loch Awe. The conditions were constantly changing as the mist rolled in and out several times creating different moods and light. This is a panoramic stitch as the castle emerged from a particularly thick patch of mist.

This loch extends for 21 miles from Dalmally in the North to Torran in the South plus a long 4 mile finger-like extension from Trevine to Bridge of Awe.
It looks very calm here but when the wind is blowing down it it can be very unforgiving, there have been many tragedies caused by boats being capsized by the unwary. I lost a good friend to it when his rowing boat overturned with 4 others on board, all perished.
I would say that 95% of the photos taken of this post have a boat moored to it. It was out on the water that morning.
I like the grasses and the scabious growing around it and the jaunty angle it has assumed.
Manchmal verschlägt es einem draußen in der Natur die Sprache, so groß und großartig ist das, was man da sieht. So mächtig, erhaben und uralt. Solche Weiten tun sich auf.
Und wir so klein in diesen Weiten unterwegs, ein tolles Gefühl. Sehr befreiend - und auch sehr respekteinflößend (nicht immer ist das Meer so friedlich und wunderschön blau, und der Wind nur so ein angenehmes, laues Lüftchen).
Da bleiben Erinnerungen 💙💙💙
Sometimes the grandeur of nature leaves me completely speechless and in awe, with a feeling of both freedom and respect walking around there as such a tiny creature (the sea not always being wonderfully blue and the wind also being able to rage furiously).
Beautiful memories. 💙💙💙
A black and white, long exposure, landscape image of two strangers standing in awe in front of Skógafoss in Southern Iceland.
I have been working on this image for quite some time now, returning to it from day to day. I think I am finally happy with this completed edit. I don't normally do black and white landscape images but I really think this one benefits from that treatment. I hope you all like it too. :-)

Day 21 : "Awe"
-----
The Moon inspires wonder, curiosity and probably also a certain form of fear, because it is still almost unexplored...
*****
La Lune inspire à la fois de l'émerveillement, de la curiosité et sans doute aussi une certaine forme de crainte, car encore quasi inexplorée...
Night view from the summit of Mount Rocciamelone (3.538 m) toward the Punta Lunella (2.772 m), a mountain in the Graian Alps (Italy) whose summit here emerges from an infinite bank of thick clouds.
We can therefore approximate the altitude of the cloudscape around 2.600 meters, or so...
which means about nine hundred meters below me.
More in the distance are visible the lights of Turin (one of the largest cities in northern Italy) that lit up from beneath the mass of clouds.
Then the universe, with planet Jupiter clearly visible on the left.
One of those visions I would say out of this world.
I could not even conceive photography if released from the search of the amazing simplicity that lies in the infinite.
Where planet Earth and all our momentary certainties must give way to the immensity of the unknown universe. The bridge to the absolute, the gateway of awe.

It's been almost a year now since we visited the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore and every time I think of this iconic memorial I am still in awe! So glad we made the trip.

Taken whilst out on a fishing trip on Anglesey. Its quite often the best time to see the clear skies but im not overly keen taking my camera gear fishing due to potential damage. I am glad I did on this occasion :-)
Taynuilt
The River is only short, around 4 miles. It carries freshwater from Loch Awe and empties into Loch Etive at Taynuilt, which is a sea loch. The river flows from Loch Awe through the Pass of Brander, it is accompanied for most of its length both by the railway from Glasgow to Oban and by the A85 road, both cross the river halfway along its length. The Awe is also crossed by a small road bridge and a foot bridge. It is a very popular salmon fishing river, we didn’t see any sign of salmon but an otter had just swum by shortly before I took this photo.
