A small lake (pond) adjacent to Chalk Creek in the Swatch Range of the Rocky Mountains. It's known to be a great fishing spot for trout.
Broken Arrow had its first fall festival with Chalk It Up, great weather and a fantastic turn out. There was a lot of art on the street.
From Wikipedia: "The Jasmund National Park is a nature reserve in the Jasmund peninsula, in the northeast of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is famous for the largest chalk cliffs of Germany, the so called Königsstuhl (German = "king's chair"). These cliffs are up to 161 m high above the Baltic Sea. The undisturbed beech forests behind the cliffs are also part of the national park." see more on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmund_National_Park or de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalpark_Jasmund
The Chalk Creek flows from St Elmo down into the Arkansas River from the Sawatch Range, part of the Continental Divide in Colorado.
I happened to be here mid-day, and so the light was rather harsh, but I felt that it worked well for a black and white image.
Congrats on Explore!

This little beach at Chalk Pond NH is really cool - literally. It was -5°C with a cutting wind chill factor of -14°, it was probably a bit cold for a swim. Oh, and the ice on the pond is 8 inches thick too.
I took these two beauties on a chalk hill near Royston. I love going up there at this time of year as the butterflies shimmer close to the ground.

I took this image on the baltic-sea near Sassnitz. The image shows the chalk cliffs of Rügen. I used a ND-filter (3). Constructive criticism is welcome.
There is a white horse carved into the side of an ancient Hill Fort which overlooks Westbury in Wiltshire. It replaced a more abstract ancient one and sits on the entrance to MOD land which is left as a blank area on most maps. It seems this Wessex Downs area will always be associated with battle in some way.

Any reading I’ve done suggests these little chaps can be “locally common” in the right habitat. Their name suits this location perfectly as St Catherine’s Hill Nature Reserve near Winchester is exactly that - a chalk hill. Interestingly, at the time of year this was made they were the only blues I saw but there were certainly quite a few about - not many in photogenic situations though as is always the case!

A lovely male Chalk-hill Blue enjoying a break in the clouds at Rough Bank. They really are one of my favourites and it does feel like I've missed something if I don't catch up with some at least once in the summer.

This is a pile of Crayola chalk that's been in a nearby driveway for many weeks, seen in a 100-frame focus stack.
This is a close-up photo of coloured chalk markings on a sidewalk. The colours looked even more vivid as it had just rained.
The Chalk Cliffs that comprise the knees and shins of Mount Princeton (14,204 ft; 4,329 m) gleam in afternoon autumn sun along the Sawatch Range near Salida, Colorado.
About three quarters of the way up the mountain a human-made line is discernible, a road that most certainly is best navigated with high clearance. I took our EuroVan some way up this road due to a series of preventable events, and found my consternation rising with the elevation. The road was embellished regularly with great, effective water bars, and I began to feel that high-centering was looming prominently in my future. Fortunately, I was able to find a corner in the road just wide enough to accommodate the full length of the van plus a couple buffer feet. I then explored the limits of patience with a sixteen-or-so-point turn and managed to turn around and retreat to safety. The retreat was another story in itself, as EuroVans are heavy and thus cannot be continually braked down the slopes of Mount Princeton.
A male Chalk-Hill Blue photographed in early morning light at a site in Bedfordshire. This image was shot from shade to light and over exposed by one stop which tones down the bright colours of the sea of flowers in the background.

This is one of many Chalk-browed Mockingbirds we encountered during our Pantanal trip this month. They seemed to be pretty curious birds much like our Northern Mockingbirds here at home.

The line of hills goes for quite some way, the hill with the lights on is called Truliegh hill, during WW2 it was a radar station and later an early warning station during the cold war, now it is a telephone mast, the lights are a warning to aircraft who use Shoreham airport. Further along is Cissbury ring another high point which is a summer sunset spot I like to go to.
This spot is called the Devils dyke and affords views over a large part of Sussex. The little Hamlet below is called Edburton .
