A magical, low-angle macro portrait of a classic Fly Agaric mushroom (Amanita muscaria) perching among fallen beech leaves and moss-covered tree roots at the historic Elswout Estate in Overveen. The vivid red cap dotted with white warty spots catches the ambient woodland light beautifully, creating a enchanting, storybook atmosphere against a dark bokeh background.
This used to be the only road connecting the villages Kópasker and Raufarhöfn. But it has now been bypassed by a modern asphalt road.
Very low light. Taken along the old rail trail near Gold Mine road in Union Township, Pennsylvania.
Sorry, no identification. Feel free.
Thank you for looking!

After a recent trip to Kew Beach in Toronto, I thought it would be fun to visit a spot I haven't been to in 25 years; the Scarborough Bluffs.
After a quarter century, it's so great to see something with a new set of eyes ;)
Artistic low-angle framing of a bronze statue of a warrior, viewed from behind, facing two prominent minarets.
The figure of the historical warrior is clad in armor, chainmail and wears a helmet.
A shield is visible on the left side of the statue.
In the background, two tall, ornate minarets rise towards a clear sky.
The composition places the warrior statue prominently in the foreground, creating a sense of depth and scale against the towering minarets in the background. The low-angle shot emphasizes the grandeur of both the statue and the architectural elements.
The natural sunset lighting creates a warm glow on the statue and the minarets.

The AWACS aircraft, built by Russians, is designed to detect, track and determine the origin of air and surface targets, as well as conduct surveillance, command, control and communications functions for command posts of automatic control systems, and give guidance in hitting air and surface targets. The site of this AWACS aircraft was a treat to the eyes. It looked magnificent with wings spread out against beautiful blue sky with white clouds. People who came for Air Force Day celebration weren't allowed near any aircraft. I had to manipulate my way to the aircraft to click this amazing Ultra Wide Shot!

A monotone photo of freight train on the new double-track section of the Kate Shelley High Bridge near Boone, Iowa. Officially called the ‘Boone Viaduct’, it is one of the highest and longest double-track railroad bridges in the United States. The bridge stands 185 feet (56 m) above the Des Moines River and is 2,685 feet (818 m) long. Union Pacific constructed the new double track concrete and steel bridge in 2006-2009, next to the old steel span.
The bridge is nicknamed after 15-year-old Kate Shelley. In 1881, a ‘pusher’ train fell through the original steel bridge near her Moingona home. She heard the accident and knew the train schedules. Wearing only her nightdress and armed with a lantern, she crossed the bridge on her hands and knees and made it to the railroad station in time to stop the next passenger train. She then led the rescuers back to the accident site. A teenage Iowa heroine.

A swan and the full moon at sunset at Horn Pond in Woburn, MA, in the Boston suburbs. Taken with iPhone 6s and edited in Snapseed. And by the way, taking photos with my phone held out over water like this is why I have a wrist strap on my iPhone case!
I used Instagram's location browse to scope out all the nearby ponds and see which ones had swans living there, and I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris (iOS app) to figure out which ponds would have good sunset angles at this time of year. The combination of those led me to Horn’s Pond, and it was such a perfect spot, I will definitely be going back.
Hmm... This comment might take away a little from the beauty and serenity of the scene, but I keep thinking it's sort of freaky how you can see through the swan's nostril and out the other side.
