You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

 

Thanks again to Ludmilla for starting the thread last week! It’s a big relief for me to know that people are willing to step in when I’m unexpectedly absent on Wednesday morning.

 

For this week, I’ve gone small-scale again: here’s a 6-inch-deep creek crossing a gravel bar just before it enters our local river.

Last Tuesday, while Leslie was recovering from Northern California storms, my wife and I was flying into Santa Barbara, in Southern California, for Thanksgiving. The Cave Fire was raging with little control over four thousand plus acres on the hills above the city, and I had a good view of it from our Delta flight from Salt Lake City. Santa Barbara and the ocean are largely obscured by smoke on the far right side of the photo. Fortunately, it rained heavily late Tuesday night and throughout most of Wednesday, which extinguished the fire except for controllable smoldering remains. Considering how little it has rained in recent years in Southern California, the rain was a highly fortunate, but very low probability, event!, allowing evacuated residents to return home for Thanksgiving.
