Clara Vale is renowned for its chocolate box setting of a whitewashed church sitting on the banks of the Avonmore River and a beautiful stone hump-back bridge spanning the river with its five arches (I make it 6 in this shot!). This is the bridge down stream from the church. The old school house is just visible through arch number 3.
Golden hour in full swing here around 8am on a beautiful morning. The low sun lit up the bridge nicely.
To get the milky cascades look, a pair of wellies is essential. Although when you are this close to the water, you tend to get water splashes on the lens. I like to compose in live view - often when the tripod is sitting in deeper water than the wellies will allow. Closed down to F22.0 and ISO100 to get 1/6 sec exposure time. I don't like to go too long as the water gets very milky. That's a matter of opinion I suppose... 10-22mm is the lens I use for this type of shot. It gives a bit of wide angle distortion on the bridge though. The debris to the left is a bit messy but I wanted to include all the arches in the frame.

============================================
The romanesque church of L'Assompció de Bossost, the main church in the town of Bossost (Val d'Aran).
Behind the metal frame and glass panels, stairs and an escalator lead up to an enclosed walkway (overpass) over Macleod Trail, one of Calgary's busiest roads, and on to Chinook Centre shopping mall.
Note how the curved design of the red benches contrasts with the straight lines and angles of the structure behind them.
Regarding architecture, it is often said that "form follows function." While true in many cases, this ignores the fact that architects can also use frivolous architectural forms to show off, to indulge their egotism and vanity, and to attract attention to themselves for the purpose of obtaining future commissions. Viewers should ask themselves, "What is the purpose, the function, of the diagonal linear forms and triangular shapes on the outside of the structure [in the photo above]?" Mere decoration? Artistry that enhances the urban environment?

An altered landscape: in the middle of the photo, a logging road curves through a cut-over area: note the open areas with logs and tree trunks lying on the ground (zoom in to see these), and the near-uniform size of the young green trees near the road (probably planted in an effort to 'renew' the forest). Undisturbed forest forms the nearer hillsides in the background, with the exception of the cleared strip along the power line at upper left. Some of the bare areas on the background hillsides are bedrock cliffs.
Location: near the towns of Greenwood and Rock Creek, near Highway 3 and the USA border in southern British Columbia, western Canada.

First sighted in 2008, she has come on an irregular basis to Garden Eel Cove to feed and be cleaned. She is a beautiful female with the one scar on her right wing that is healing nicely. I think it was from fishing line.
A bit of a visual cliche, but a cliche done well (with good light and colours) is worth looking at.
At Fish Creek Provincial Park in southwest Calgary.
