Lots of opportunities for smoke days with this topic. I just happen to have one lined up for this from a day when I was riding in your truck as a hint for where to look in your stashGood theme I will need to see what I have

Subtle beauty Ken––I especially favor the old fishing boats image and the winter's day one as well. Great captures!Conques, France on a cycling trip

Alan, excellent choices, I absolutely love the first image with such subtle beauty. The faded Tetons in the background certainly add to this composition of your last image––very nice!My nemesis for fall trips to interesting places has been wildfire smoke from other places obliterating the views and generally muting the colors I went to see. I usually make an effort to mitigate the smoke in the scenes like this but for this Task thread I left them as is.
First up is the Mt. Rainier area with a view from the trails around Paradise Lodge:

Followed by Glacier National Park. This is the view from the north shore of Swiftcurrent Lake:

And finally one from a trip to the Tetons where I met up with Ben, Jim and Rick for some autumn shooting. We had one morning where a lot of smoke blew up from somewhere south of us. I might have been the only one who bothered to get a camera out at this stop.

Tim, your first dock image is gorgeous and my favorite of your three images––but the others are close behind! I love the understated colors shown in these two––very nice.
Beautiful images Dan! Love your first image, perfect!Returning from the desert

Ben, I love the Grand Teton shot. It's not known for foliage, the color makes this photo pop.Grand Tetons
