Burlington Northern SD60M no. 1991 takes on an almost ghostly appearance as it rolls east away from the setting sun west of Rozet, Wyoming in July 1991.
This is the boat jetty at Derwent Water, a major lake in The English Lake District. It's normally used for tourists to board the pleasure craft which ply their trade on the lake. It was closed for two days because of the torrential rain which has left it completely submerged.
This was one of those rare occasions when something you plan actually happens, as I waited two hours in teeming rain, with myself and my gear protected by a golf umbrella, for the sun to align with the end of the jetty and the rain eased at just the right time. This is a 15 second exposure to smooth the water.

Buffalo Bill Reservoir glistens as the sun sets. Cedar Mth is barely visible to the left of the photo. Carter Mountain sits in the center and Sheep Mountain on the righthand side. Ice blankets the lake as my truck’s headlights cast a glow on the guardrail along the road. This image was captured near Cody, WY, just before a series of winter storms swept through the region."

Buffalo Bill Reservoir’s blanket of ice glistens under the setting sun, with Carter Mountain in the distance. The resevoir lies west of Cody in Buffalo Bill State Oark.
The South Island of New Zealand tends to be mostly about the scenery of the West Coast, but it doesn't need to be all about the mountains. This was taken during an awesome sunset over Riverton on the South Coast.
...at Monkey Mia, Western Australia. The catamaran motored out from the wharf away from the land. The engines were turned off, the sails unfurled and raised. The cat speed along heading west into the setting sun, with only the noise of the wind in the sails.
Life is good.

Dear friends, I am completely aware of the flaws of this shot, which has been taken during a very hasty, improvised session, including the most complete lack of an element of interest in the foreground. My original (but sadly improvised) plan was to capture a small, ancient church called St. Mary-in-the fields (it was behind my back); but that nice Romanesque church iturned out to be singularly not photogenic - its facade is hidden by a number of large nearby trees and an enclosure surrounds it. So my plan readily sank - but I was not ready to throw away such a sunset. So I said to myself, "Why, that sky does not need anything more than itself!", and I started shooting. One of the factors which were spurring me was that this was the very first real photographic session with my brand new Nikon D750 - yes, I know, it is an outdated, out of production model, but... I have fallen in love with it, and love does not care about such irrelevant details. Even at first glance, it is another world (sorry, my good old D5100!)...
It was quite a windy evening, so my 5-exposure bracketing was rather plagued by ghosts of the dancing grasses (to be honest some of them are still visible), because of which I have brutally cropped out a significant portion of that perfectly uninteresting foreground. However I am rather pleased with the final result.
Apart from the strong winds, the other thing that bugged me that evening was the land owner of the place, which apparently is a very guarded private property (including the spot where I had parked my car). He was so kind to allow me 5 minutes (he was standing behind me, clock in hand), so I captured a handful of frantic bracketings without even caring of being level.
I have obtained this picture by blending a 5-exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks with the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a possible final contribution to the processing. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwithstanding, is pretty simple to implement) often holds good results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities. Here I have blurred a bit the inverted Blue channel layer and its associated middle tones mask.

We might have some good ice coming - I read we could have as high as 20' waves tonight and tomorrow. :)
