<p>Here's an old scanned slide from way back: Minerva Terrace in Yellowstone NP.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Marc,<br> I did not know this book. An even more interesting choice, however, might be "Window Seat" by Gregory Dicum, who might make your next trip across the US even more interesting. Since yous ent me on this search: Another thing that came to mind is the app "Flyover Country" written by some friends of mine at the University of Minnesota. I only have a "dumb phone" so I haven't tried it myself, but you might want to check it out. <br> Christoph</p>

<p>just east of Denver</p><div></div>

<p>Even on the most "boring" flights I try to get one. I can't count the number of cloudscapes I have. How about you guys? This is from a recent flight across the country to San Francisco.</p><div></div>

<p>Modi Khola, Nepal, last January</p><div></div>

<p>From yesterday's afternoon walk.</p><div></div>

<p>... and sometimes mostly bare ...</p><div></div>

<p>I study enough scientific images for a living that I can find plenty of them boring in an artistic sense. That does not diminish their scientific value. Some may even have artistic merit. I do not dispute that HiRISE produces plenty of landscape images, however, the original post asked about "favorite landscape" photographers. A machine that mindlessly snaps image after image, based on previously selected target coordinates won't make it on my list.</p>

<p>Thanks for pointing me to a few new landscape photographers. I like many of their images but they won't replace the Ansel Adams in my house (I wish it was an original :-). For very personal reasons I'd like to add<br> Jim Brandenburg <br> to the list.<br> Julie,<br />the Komar and Melamid project is fascinating, though one has to wonder whether the average of thousands of surveys really produces favorites or simply averages filtered through the preferences of the two artists. HiRISE images (which I find absolutely cool), due to their often abstract nature, should not make it onto anybody's favorite list. Of course the camera takes thousands (millions ?) of images - most of them probably excruciatingly boring, except for the guys who study Martian geomorphology, except for the few that are chosen for publication in a book. For the same reason some of Washburn's aerial survey photographs are rather pleasing abstracts, but many are just dreadfully uninspiring (mostly taken for documentary purposes I assume).</p>

<p>Sometimes, while watching the moon, it pays to turn around and check out the trees to the west. Here's a picture to offset your beautiful yellows and greens, Laura.</p><div></div>

<p>Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument</p><div></div>

<p>A bit late to the party, but that means I get to see all the other cool pictures. :-)<br> It's been a drizzly weekend and all I have are a few maple leaves caught up in the local pond.</p><div></div>

<p>Wherever I am located. Many years ago I thought you'd have to travel to take cool landscape images. Then I met Jim Brandenburg who takes amazing photographs from "flat and boring" Minnesota. Now I simply enjoy being outside, having a good time, and taking pictures.<br> Though I have to admit: Utah and Iceland are hard to beat.</p>

<p>Irfanview and GIMP work both fine under Windows 10. So does Faststone.</p>

<p>One of the first Falll days this year: Crawford Notch State Park, NH</p><div></div>

<p>Rick, you captured that kitchen beautifully. Here's one of the last cabbages of the season. Someone already had a little nibble.</p><div></div>

<p>The White Mountains happened to be pretty cold and windy this weekend. We took a group of first year students on a hike up the Crawford Path (supposedly America's oldest continuously maintained hiking path) and enjoyed an amazing hike through fog and sun.</p><div></div>

<p>I use the RSS table top tripod with their micro ballhead. The BH25 is smoother and more convenient, the micro ballhead is - well smaller. The entire thing fits in the water bottle pocket of my backpack ( ext to the bottle) and pretty much lives there, ready for action.</p>

<p>This is from a hike two weeks ago: Mt. Hight in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It's summit is bare thanks to a forest fire that burnt all the soil away in 1903.</p><div></div>

<p>After an unexpected trip to Europe this week: here's a shot from the plane on the way home.</p><div></div>
