Not a great shot but shows a little of some of the weird topography we can find around here. That's about a 300' drop to the pond below and the fault, not erosion, is about 3 miles long. We don't normally get up to this spot in the winter but with lack of snow this winter we were able to get the 4x4 within about 2 miles and walk the rest.

Photo is impressive, scene is impressive, and your statement of getting there is impressive also.

Reflections. Taken at the Elk and Bison Range at the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation area this morning. About 30 minutes from the house.

Someday I'll perfect this shot.
The big building is a reflection. The safe and interior lights are seen thru the glass. The place was a bank, but is no longer. Its gone thru a few buisnesses since.

Some people say that photography isn't taking a picture of some object, it is taking a picture of the light. That is more apparent in a lot of your pics.

Impressive. Impressive that you recognized the scene, and were able to capture it.

Yes, that's another good one....From our master of the night.... Nice Glen.

I have a book called, "Painting with Light" by John Alton. It is really targeted for film makers, but there is a lot of similarity, as you would expect.

Thanks. I was on the fence (metaphorically) with this one... I think if the foreground and L / R sides were any darker it wouldn't have worked. I saw the light on the wall and was like a moth to flame

I'd like to see what it looked like if you cropped out a good part of the bottom and left side. Kind of get lost in the dark stuff.
That would bring the subject, your well lit wall, a little closer.

I played with it a bit. Another of my photography quirks is that I generally only crop to original size, and doing so on this one cut out the top of the lighted wall.
