That middle one is especially attractive to me.
I think they're beautiful and have no complaint about this thread. However, are we allowed to do such personal threads unrelated to literature? That would be cool if we are.
Absolutely. Look at the subforum titles and post away.
Very nice stuff, North Star.
Edit: If photography's your thing, you might also like this thread.

Amazing shots North Star!
The single subject offers infinite possibilities.
The 1st image, second row on your flikr site, has similar characteristics to one of my favorite photographs; Ansel Adams "Moonrise Over Hernandez", assuming yours is the moon or is it a heavily filtered sun?
beautiful.
Thanks, everyone.
It's the sun, in very early hours of the day - the sun barely sets there in the summer months. Moonrise Over Hernandez is a classic, of course. :)Quote:

A positive change, I hope ;) Thanks.Quote:

Simply gorgeous. Finland has so much natural beauty, and you've really managed to capture its meditative qualities.

That is a very beautiful composition! Love it.
Nice X-shape made by the light.
You captured an amazing shot there North Star, thanks for sharing.
From late Thursday evening:

The reflections on the water and the reddish-orange colors of the sun make this one stand out for me. I also like how it is not centered as the others were.
Thanks. You should like the asymmetrical framing of the newest one, then :)Quote:

And here is a link to a slide show of the whole series so far.
Nice slide show. On some of them with the horizon across the center of the photo and the water's reflection, it looked as if one could flip the photo upside down and get the same image.
Thanks. The calm water is a handy mirror indeed.Quote:

Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
I liked the ones with the fog the best. Does Lake Kitka extend much beyond that distant area where the land appears to meet?
Yes. Very much indeed. The lake has a surface area of 110.35 square miles.Quote:
