Laura Weishaupt Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc Are you new to this thread? We post one image per week. Good Morning, There's nothing wrong with your camera or TV set.....so they say. It's like any other day. You grab your camera and go into the woods. It's familiar, but something has changed. Some things are here but others are missing, as if left on a table in the distant past, yet you remember. You step lightly and look for friends. When you find them their names are changed and their faces look like pictures in boxes, like the frames of a photographer's uneasy dreamscape. PARAGRAPH They leave notes in the wilderness and tell you where they've been, and then you don't feel so alone. It's an ISO 100 sky with the canopy closing in. The ferns are like giants as you get smaller. You can't help but wonder if the terrain ahead is rocky. Maybe there is a cool stream in a clearing with smooth water. For now, all is deep in the tangled understory with the messy rabbit hole full of photos close by. Then, you emerge from the hole only to realize that someone has indeed changed the channel to infra-red. It feels like the Twilight Zone, but you can relax because you're in the familiar and comforting place known as Monday in Nature. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Doo Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 This is part of the famous Blue Lagoon of Iceland. I was blown away by the amount of lava rocks in Iceland. - Volcano country it is. The Blue Lagoon is in a huge lava field. You can see in this image that this huge bed of lava rocks is covered by a layer of green moss. The warm "blue" waters are rich in mineral such as silica and sulfur, so bathing in the Blue Lagoon is supposed to help beautify the skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
