Strange colour on the first stump Dez, almost like verdigris. These gnarly old stumps remind me of my home town back in Ireland, where the lowland peat bog just outside town yields old tree roots just like these. They are ancient pines really, but I've always known them as bog oak.
Thanks for the detailed info. The bluish tint on the bog oaks the front came from my LED flashlight. I was in total darkness and needed to shine some light for focusing reasons.

Nice set of dishes between you two Ricks (am I sensing a conspiracy? ;-) ).. love the whole series, somehow the first picture captured my eye, fine construction of antenna is resembling to a delicate lace work - excellent capture.. thank you for sharing and thank you for hosting the thread :D ..

Best regards,
 
Lovely photos... that second one strikes me as about perfect framing/location for a star trail image... if that sort of photography strikes your fancy.
 
Beautifully captured landscape, Allan.. the elaborated processing has paid back handsomely ;-) .. there is some resemblance to Tuscany countryside with all the soft and round shaped hills.. well spotted and perfectly processed, thank you for sharing :D ..

Kind regards,
 
Exciting image, Ted.. love your unusual vantage point.. great capture! Had a look at provided link, lovely work of T.Cole "spiced" by artist's imagination, he has also a painting showing the vista from the top of the fall.. thank you for sharing and educational set :D ..

Kindest regards,
 
Very refreshing image in this days of greediness, and here you come offering two for one, ;-) (no pun intended, just kidding!).. lovely image, B&W rendition is emphasizing the remoteness and stillness of the place.. remarkable work, thank you for sharing and please do visit us again :D ..

Kindest regards,
 
Mother Nature is showing off again, Lee.. and you captured her's performance perfectly.. the ominous feel is well presented and one wishes to seek a warm shelter (maybe in a Pub, LOL ).. well spotted mate.


Cheers, :D

Dez, this is otherworldly. Beautiful and surreal. It's like the Dead Marsh in Lord of the Rings - where Frodo must pass on his way to Mordor. Haunting image.
Thank you Rick. The marsh was in total darkness. I used a LED flashlight to light foreground, which I think emits a bluish tint. It took several tries because it was extremely cold and windy & the blur was making most of shots unusable. This was the best of the set.

Thanks for info, this explains the extraordinary blueish tones in foreground - at firs I thought it was spilled paint, LOL.. impressive image, Dez.. looks out of this world - perfect background for SF movie scene ;-) .. thanks for sharing :D ..

Best regards,

WOW, Michel.. those images are a next best thing to being there in person! Magnificent work, they are all breathtaking - for known reason (LOL) I'm inclining to images without snow as my favorites ;-) .. good eye, thank you for sharing :D ..

Fine set, Winnie.. love your boldness - shooting right into the Sun and ending with a fine photos on your hands, well captured layers - are you a "cha" person? Well done, thank you for sharing :D ..
