California wildfire smoke filter effect - the air quality that day was well into the red zone in a serious way with wildfire smoke severely limiting the visibility range and triggering health alerts. That said the smoke created an orange filter in the skies that was the perfect compliment to the fall leaves along the trail.

Well, that isn't romantic at all! I'm used to smoke making the skies smudgy. Hope your lungs didn't suffer as a consequence.

I love that Square Top shot Monika. I always wanted to climb it, but didn’t get in there when I was frequenting The Winds back in the 80s

A few pictures from Spirit's Bay at the northern tip of New Zealand. A special place!

Caves, wild horses, and green hills on the sea...

Shards of colorful shells make a beach that sparkles...

...and the most serene sunsets!

that’s super cool Amy! What a great location.

Not sure this qualifies, but 'S' is poorly represented in my portfolio for some reason, so I am dipping into the astrophotography portion of things to re-post this very short (28 minutes worth) of Hydrogen-alpha data from the Soul Nebula:

Soul Nebula - starts with an S. Arguably there is land somewhere within that scene so this would qualify :D
