Kyle, another truly beautiful set of landscapes you’ve posted here—with beautiful reflections. Perfect “seeing the scene” in your Banff photo—impressive composition!

A couple from years past. Scenes from Yosemite Valley and celebration day.

Jameel, I love your series of landscape reflection images—each are well-captured and seen. The Badwater image is one of my favorites—the interspersed snow atop mountain’s reflection adds to the image’s visual interest. The Sparks Lake photo is perfect—I love the simplicity of composition.

Jim, so glad the duck didn’t spoil Half Dome’s reflection, a beautiful capture—and timing!

Jim, great landscapes especially the second image with its excellent composition—a perfect capture! BTW, what are you celebrating?

Thanks John, I don’t remember which occasion that was from.

It’s nice to memorialize occasions with a beautiful still life.

The Maine trip was a gift. My wife asked where I wanted to go for my 60th (in the Fall). I said "Maine & stay at your brothers"!

Another couple of reflection images but very different from my last post. Made possible by the very flat beaches of the European Atlantic coast. Ken
Northern Spain and probably the most beautiful beach I have ever visited, not for anyone wanting beachside bars or any facilities, just 4 miles of soft sand backed by low dunes and almost total solitude.
This one is from Western France

Ken, two very nice landscapes you’ve added. I favor the first image—perfect!
Thanks John. The white stuff in the Badwater image is salt, not snow.

Oops! Thank you for letting me know, after taking another look, salt makes more sense—Death Valley (and none on the higher elevations,e.g. mountains). Thanks again!

Jeffrey, beautiful landscapes all especially the first and second images—so very nice. I recall seeing your second image posted on FocalWorld before—nice to see it once again!
I reviewed my Thursday’s Task notes beginning December 30, 2021 and I had not posted the topic, “Reflections in the landscape” until this week. (Perhaps this topic was used prior to my assuming this role).
