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.

Each member please post no more than just one image to this weekly thread per week. If the information is available, many members appreciate information on your approach to making the image and the names, both common and scientific, of the subject(s). However, while encouraged, these are not required as a component of your contributions.

Sandy Wool is a small, human-made lake in suburban Silicon Valley. In order to teach children fishing and provide recreation to the community, the state government plants a lot of fishes into this lake a couple of times each month. It is something like half a ton to a ton each time. At roughly a pound each, we are talking about 1000 to 2000 fishes each time. Needless to say, the birds are having a great time also, so do the bird photographers.

With that description, perhaps some may argue this is not 100.0% nature photography, but I guess it is close enough. I assume those fishes are farmed.
