Thank you! It almost has a Middle Earth look to it, I think.

Backlit orange & yellow leaves hang down from the upper edge of the frame against a dark background of shadowed trees and a pond below.  The lower left corner shows the sky and tree line reflected in the water.  This was taken today at the Hamilton Audubon Sanctuary in West Bath ME on a wonderful #ECK photo walk.  Many thanks to Janet, Heather, Scott, and Jaycee!

Somewhere in Rocky Mtn. National Park (2009) 🏞️

Black & white image taken from a roadside stop in Rocky Mountain National Park, looking down into a valley that's mostly covered with evergreens.  A large bare patch extends from middle left to the upper center, surrounded by rising mountains.  The lower left contains the top of a rocky outcrop before it drops away, with some tall evergreens rising behind the descending rocks.  On the right, two parallel roads extend into, and then out of the frame (actually switchbacks of the same road).  The image was converted into black & white, and I left a little bit of the haze in the scene to preserve the moment.

Stuart Street, Boston MA (2019) 🏛️

An image showing the street entrance of a small cafe in a large glass office building.  The large windows reflect the trees lining the sidewalk and another building across the street, along with a pedestrian checking his phone as he walks along.  The image was taken using a camera setting that renders the scene in black & white except for one color, in this case blue.  I wanted to isolate the blue design above the cafe's name, and I think that works well here.  The midday sun creates some complimentary shadows, which always attracts my attention.

Summer's end.......🌲🛶😎 (2026)
📷Fujifilm X-T5 w/Fujinon XF 35mm f2 Lens
#ColorADay, #GreenSat, #Maine, #ECK, #Photography, #PhotographersofBluesky, #kayaks

Eight kayaks rest on two levels of a red, wooden kayak rack near a wooded lake.  Another kayak and a wind surfer lay on the ground at the far end of the rack.  The green vegetation around and beyond the rack show hints of some early fall colors.  This color image was taken using Fujifilm's Nostalgic Negative film simulation.

As always, Luis, thank you!

A bright white sail and rigging set against a brilliant blue sky, taken while aboard the Sloop Anjacaa out of Camden, ME.  I looked up, and was reminded of what was a pretty good year for me....

Thank you, AnnaLois 🙏. She's an amazing ship, to be sure, and I marvel at the life she's had over the last century+. The city behind her in the photo isn't bad, either ☺️.
