The Landscape Photography Thread

Your photos look great; once clicked upon. WTW hosting versus providing links from other sites has been a challenge for many.
I personally use bbcode link provided by Smugmug. If you host your photos online, you can just copy & paste the link.

Larch trees on Panorama Ridge
That shot is fantastic. What a scene!

Vic, I like your work. The Capitol Reef and Larch trees are very nice.

Like Andy, I link to photos most of the time. It's a little easier, and the photos display better.

OK, I'll bite. Trying this with some panorama's I have taken on hikes in the last two years. No idea if I have this gallery upload and linking stuff figured out... here goes...

Very nice Vic.Glad you shared your photos.

Midday lighting looking up past Glacier Point and Grizzly Peak, I believe.

An old windmill, just waiting for a few repairs and a bit of work. Faraway Ranch, Chiricahua National Monument.

Nice, having grown up in Kansas I have a fondness for windmills.

After leaving the Three Rivers National Petroglyph Site, we went to the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument near Mountainaire, New Mexico. Even though the missions and pueblos are mostly reconstruction, they are stunning. This is the Mission de San Gregorio de Aló. We also visited Gran Quivira, but saved Quarai for next trip. The missions were abandoned by the 1680s.

This is a shot I took a few years ago during monsoon season when I was a volunteer at Hovenweep. As soon as the rain stopped I hurried out to see if I could get some puddle reflections.

Here in the Sierra foothills there's a special place called Table Mountain. Now a volcanic plateau, it was formed when a lava flow came down an ancient river channel and solidified. As the surrounding valley sediments eroded, the plateau was left almost a thousand feet higher. Table Mountain is famous for vernal waterfalls (nearly a dozen) and springtime floral displays.



Ranch Falls


Another view of Ranch Falls


Coon Canyon with Sutter Buttes visible beyond Thermalito Afterbay


Schirmer View


Off trail view of a dramatic canyon.


Crevice Falls


In the middle of seven miles of xc walking. The ground is littered with chunks of basalt? and a walking stick/monopod is recommended.


It's quite busy on the weekend,



but just head north or south off the Hollow Falls trail and find your own bliss.
