Broken Autumn Hues by KenWright

Shot along the Hutt River near Trentham Park in a small side stream after a hail storm, I’d taken the dog out and we had to shelter under a tree while the storm passed, once it cleared the light was magic, at the bottom of the valley the sun was trying to burst through (never did) which gave this Autumn peach tone. the peach tone lasted for about 3 mins and then it was gone followed by another down pore, I love the way the mist over Moonshine and Riverstone merges with the sky, I needed a very low angle to get the light reflected into the water, I’m om my knees in the water for this shot and it was bloody cold. Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm Nikkor Lens and a cokin ND8 grad
Serenity by Ginny York

This was taken at Mill Creek Lake in Amherst Virginia not too far from where I live, with my Cannon Powershot SX 110 IS. This is just a 5 minute drive for me. On the bank where I am standing it is already getting dark…but across the lake by the trees, the last light of the day is still shining. Such a beautiful place. / FEATURED IN LAKES AND INLAND WATERWAYS / FEATURED IN COUNTRY BUMPKIN
This morning 3.54 O CLOCK by Veikko Suikkanen

Day is mostly long just now 21.6, dark time is very little. I went in morning already before clock 3 rivers ashore, morning showed promising. On the river was magnificent fog, I expected sunrise, thick dark cloud covered however the skyline, this picture I took just sunrise time, only a little reddens behind the thick cloud.

Crater Lake by Rany Lutz

View of Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, USA, from a pullout on the West side. Wizard Island in the center. This is the smallest portion of the lake. The biggest part is on the other side of the Island. The lake is 6 miles long and 5 miles wide and almost 2,000 feet deep. It is an ancient volcano cauldron that sits on top of the Cascade mountain range. It is very accessible to visit, though. There is even wheelchair access.
Views over Levers Water by ShaunW

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 12mm, F11, shutter speed 1/50 second, ISO200, tweaked in Photoshop We went for a walk up the Old Man of Coniston today, the route took us past Levers water, up to Swirl How (802 metres) then on to the Old Man of Coniston (803 metres), then on to Dow Crag (778 metres). It was a wonderful walk with stunning views, we even stopped for a pint of Coniston Bluebird Bitter just before the torrential downpour started. I will try and catch up with peoples shots over the next couple of days. Please view large!

Buttermere by Steve Smith

Went on a days walk with fellow bubblers Jason Connolly and my other half Lesley yesterday, and this is one of the views around Buttermere. We were fortunate that the sun came out right on cue to show the wonderful greens of the fells. Nikon D300 – 30th June 2009
The Sun is Always Rising, Somewhere by Adam Gormley

If you can brave the winter sunrise, and I don’t often enough, they are definately the most colourful. (Who am I kidding, I was in a T-shirt and shorts for this, it wasn’t even cold!!). This one over the Noosa River, Noosaville. Yes that is my favorite boat model, and this little duck sat there nice and still for me. I think they call them wood ducks, and he was like wood, hardly moved.. Wasn’t lucky enough to catch any of the bird life this morning, and I just missed a shot with a Whistling Kite eagle flying overhead.. Bugger!! Canon 50D, 22mm.. 6:20am, Noosaville, Queensland, Australia. Available Large!

Reflections on the lake at Alfred Nicholas Gardens by Elana Bailey

These reflections on the lake, at Alfred Nicholas Gardens, were taken in autumn. The gardens are in the Dandenongs, Victoria, Australia. This is an HDR image, with 3 images merged together in Photomatix Pro, using tone mapping and details enhancer. I used a tripod and a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera.
Gloaming by Karl Williams

For those of you not familiar with the Scots word “gloaming”, it refers to the magical period between sunset and darkness which, because of the comparatively high latitude, may last a couple of hours or more in mid summer. Despite its beauty it is, unfortunately, playtime for the ubiquitous midges (tiny biting insects) which plague most of Scotland in summer. This scene is of Loch Quoich, in the so-called “rough bounds of Knoydart” in N.W. Scotland, which, together with nearby Loch Garry, forms part of the Glen Garry Hydro-Electric scheme commissioned by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board in the 1950s. The dam on Loch Quoich, which was completed in 1962, is the largest rockfill dam in Scotland at 320 m long and 38 m high. Loch Quoich holds the record for being the wettest place in Scotland.

Water Over the Dam by Scott Hendricks

A small dam along the Big Sioux River near the Sioux Falls. Early mornings you will find any number of children or adults fishing in the pool created by the dam. As for me, I like to sit, listen to the water splash and muse over the smooth flow.
