Hello my friends! I'm back, but with limited internet connection. I will make sure to catch up with everyone who leaves a comment soon as I am back online full time (probably this week!)
:about the photo:
I got inspired to get back out there and captured this morning shot one day after my previous upload :-)
This is a bit of rocky outcropping (extending from a larger island) which I've climbed on many times for other shots :-)
That small tree you see reflecting in the water saved me one morning from sliding down that slippery slope... so I love that little tree! ;-)
If anyone's still reading... that is a dark fog bank covering the area below the sun!
It continued moving over the area and covered more of the landscape which I had intended to shoot, but it made for an interesting & beautiful photo this day (in my opinion)
:-)
There was a slight fog in the foreground as well, which mixed with a bit of steam rising off the freezing waters and gave the entire scene an eerie coloring that morn.
Speaking of freezing, the temperature was -12°C (minus twelve) between 8 & 9 that morning, and I captured this shot a bit after 9. I stayed out a while and saw some amazing views that day! No regrets :-)
* my Sony camera was damaged in a drop recently, the same day I took my 1st Upright Landscape photo (2 photos back in my photostream).
It is still damaged but I can use it to shoot 4:3 shots... but I can't access 16:9, 1:1 or other ratios. I also can't access the Flash settings or other fine controls. But at least it still zooms! *
Thanks guys for sticking around, it's great to be able to share this one with you today :-)
(Once I have full internet service again, I'll catch up with all who have commented too!)
...Friends, feel free to add yourself to the 'People In Photo' list if you'd like :-)
Hope you find something interesting or enjoyable in this capture ☺
Thanks everyone for your wonderful Comments & Faves, I truly appreciate your support :-)
Have a beautiful day my friends!!!
☺☺☺
Enjoy the view!

Yishun Dam, Singapore. This shot was taken during our 116 km Singapore's Round the Island (RTI) bike ride.
D25982. The Mansion at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, around 50 miles north of London. Once a home to the landed gentry, it was taken over in World War II and became the top secret location of the crack team of code-breakers that were able to de-code and read the German, Italian and Japanese military messages.
Its most famous code-breaker was Alan Turin who was able to de-code messages scrambled by the German Enigma machines. He also developed a machine called ‘the bombe’ which cut down the time needed to crack the coded messages.
No longer top secret, Bletchley Park, code named ‘Station X’ during the war, is now open to the public and people can see and learn about the vital work carried out there which hastened the Allied victory and is said the have shortened the war by at least two years.
A visit is highly recommended and more details can be found here:
