"Dawn Will Turn to Silver Glass"...one of the most magical mornings I've ever been, and it was all because of the ripples and rapids of this little stream.

Taken by me in the Sierra Nevada last April.

Why can't I ever have a little party like this?...

Albert Lynch's "Tea Time".

"Taking the Sluice" is what this feels like...a sluice made for cars, and honestly...when you make a monochrome picture like this into an ink-sketch, it has that video-game world quality that makes many a landscape in the American West seem like an old friend.

Taken in Colorado on Interstate 70 near Glenwood Springs last summer.

They lie down a road seldom traveled, but it's perhaps the most beautiful grassland in the world: the Palouse Hills. When the fields bloom and the long, warm days of summer hit them just right, it does something for the soul...

"Rolling Dreams", captured by yours truly.

Oh, they edited out the city in the distance, but DAE remember Anakin and Padmé's wedding from "Star Wars"? It was filmed at a real location...which I've visited. Lake Como's Villa del Balbianello. Pro tip: you have to have your back right up against the building to get the view George Lucas used in the movie.

One replicated by me with my iPhone camera, albeit in a small way; I call this shot "The Chosen Place". 🙂

Captured in a photo: deep winter vibes (and despite how bright it looks it felt *cold* out there: 0 Fahrenheit with a stiff wind...). From Holland, Michigan: "Sunbreak in White".
