Lake of the spirits
I hiked up the flanks of Mt. St. Helens a few years ago to a spot overlooking Spirit Lake, which sits somewhere around 700 feet higher than it's former altitude (exact details escape me at the moment.) Thousands of logs from forest blowdown are still visible on the surface.

I tried to scroll away from this but I love it too much. It looks like you composed this photo in a studio, it seems so well done.
Wow, fantastic!No colour??
Although I do have to agree with the other guy Unless you see the sunrise or the sunset on a cloudless day the UK is probably one of the most greyscale countries out there!
*Looks at skies*
Yup, clouds.
This is a breathtaking picture. I love seeing 'busy' things on the horizon. Fills me with optimism.
Well, a lot of landscape photographers from all around the world enjoy taking pix here. In a lot of places the weather will be the same tomorrow as it was yesterday... but in the UK we really do get all four seasons in one day. I love watching sunlight chasing shadows across the fells... and the best sunsets - by far - are when there are clouds... 'cos then the colours are richer, and the sunset seems to last longer (ie you can shoot for maybe an hour after the sun has disappeared). UK's OK...
Sweet! Here's to another excellent month of exceptional photos!
"Tangerine Skies"

He smiled after I took the shot.
One the first images captured through my new lens. Like it a lot.
Steamie: Love the colours in the "Robin". Maybe consider cropping off the sides...?

Thanks Freebooter I'll give it a try : )
Your B&W shot of the diesel breakdown is fantastic, I like the graininess of it.
Oblomow I like the B&W pic, is that a dig at no Colour in the UK.
At least when it rains here in Scotland it's nice and colourful thanks to the pollution ; )

Thanks, no it's a really a coincedence ( 'onestly guv'nor ). And I am the last to say that the UK has no colour. It has beautiful colours. But it's sometimes nice to tease people.....
Scanned from a superfast transparency film, when I was seeing what landscapes might look like with lots of grain...

Colourful!
The grain works, makes it paintlike.Lake district or Yorkshire Dales?

Thanks. Lake District (Martindale, near Ullswater). Grain in film was/is a very different beast from noise in digital. More organic, if you like... with more creative potential...
I started my photographic attempts with a Minox 35 and Ilford FP4(?) and slide film (cheap, not eastern european, but I can't remember the brand. Later Ektachrome and Kodachrome) It was fun, but I am really enjoying myself with digital cameras.
Agreed. Film was fun... but digital suits me better (and I never thought I'd say that!)...
These colors are lovely.
Freebooter, in the next few days, if you wouldn't mind, post something with you new lens taken at 16mm? I'm eager too see a real world application of that lens at its widest focal.
Shutter: 1/250 // Aperture: f/25.8 // Focal Length: 400 mm // ISO 100
I don't usually chime in here just to say "that's nice", but...
That's nice.
The bare trees against the smoky background remind me of a Japanese print.
This is the most difficult photo I've ever taken
