Loch an Fhir-bhallaich, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Isle of Rum in the distance, with a few of its smaller neighbors. Taken on an alternate descent route from Coire Lagan.
Walking around the harbour I looked back to see the evening light shining on these two boats, the pale orange colours in the reflections are from quayside buildings. Photographed in the pretty town of Wells next to the Sea, Norfolk UK. This image is dedicated to whipper_snapper who I met on the quayside that evening. Pleased to meet and chat with a fellow Flickr'er.
SOOC, believe it or not.
Btw I just discovered a hidden tree. Peculiar, the fog.
Thank you so much TWTME for being selected as the icon of the day. It means a lot!

This one was pulled out - almost literary - from my 2007 archive. Not because I don't have any new stuff to post, but because I was looking for a good candidate that I could use for a new digital landscape painting and I found this.
Back in 2007 I very good remember that this particular image has caused me a serious dilemma, which resulted in a permanent place in my ever growing archive and probably won't ever see the light. But ... for another reason this image left a permanent impression on me which I probably can't explain in words.
The post-processing on this one was minimal! The early morning atmosphere seems to reveal enough depth and details from the foreground to the far back, yet characterized by a soft and peaceful mood.
Still I'm utterly impressed by the impressively extensive Depth of Field these simple point-and-shoots - such as my 5mp Canon S50 - reveal by their tiny lenses and sensors. It also makes me realize more often than I dare to admit why in the hell I need a bigger, heavier and far more expensive camera and ditto lenses, just trying to mimic the extraordinary DoF each point-and-shoot potentially can capture. This particular strenght of a point-and-shoot - which is very important in landscape photography - is also the very reason why I never bothered a dSLR in the first place. I can't stress enough that all my images - partly until 2008 - were just shot with a rather simple Canon S50. Simplicity works, at least for me!
Post-processing notes
The fence was 10% dodged in lightroom, together with the foremost stump of the tree in the middle and some wheat helping the eye lead to the lighted horizon between the dike and tree.

This is Buddy, a female red squirrel at the base of a large tree. I like the depth in this image and how her beautiful colors shine in the sun (Squirrels-2020-1338.jpg)
Krafla is an area of about 10 km in diameter with a 90 km long fissure zone, in the north of Iceland in the Mývatn region. Its highest peak reaches up to 818 m and it is 2 km in depth. The Icelandic word "víti" means "hell". In former times, people often believed hell to be under volcanoes. The crater Víti has a green lake inside of it. The Krafla area also includes Námafjall, a geothermal area with boiling mudpools and steaming fumaroles.
