Geger Beach, Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia
The photographer writes about this photo: “My memories of Geger go way back to my first trip about 13 years ago. We were trying to promote seaweed mariculture and ground zero was Geger. Strolling by the beach once again and surveying the now-thriving industry make me proud.
I will never tire of revisiting Indonesia. Couldn’t wait for next week…”

beach of kvalvika - lofoten islands (another “perfect” place that stays in my memory),
originally uploaded by Reinhard.Pantke.
The photographer: “this beach is north of the arctic circle, on the west side of lofoten. You reach the place after a hike, the water temperature is here around 12-14 degrees celsius (well in summer). Next stop to the west is greenland!!! But its a great place!”
The photographer: ” shot this with Fuji Velvia 50 and a 2-stop hard GND filter and scanned it with a Nikon Coolscan IV. No real “processing” other than to try and match the original slide. It was a stormy late afternoon and I was near Paoha Island out in Mono Lake looking west towards the Sierra crest. This was a multi-day mid-winter solo kayak trip. The water color in the shallows had a greenish tint but the deeper water was quite blue. Mono Lake is 3 times saltier than the ocean which is why it’s not frozen in winter.”
Gateway to hell, originally uploaded by hkvam “Námaskarð has very active solfataras (sulphurous mud springs) and fumaroles (steam springs), none of which contain pure water. The mud craters are uncommonly large and are well worthy of the travelers attention, whereas many of the steam craters are drilling holes that have been covered with rocks. There is no vegetation in this high temperature area and the ground is sterile and very acidic due to the effects of the fumes from the mud springs.”

I am NOT the Tourism Board., originally uploaded by ahmedzahid.
The photographer: When I was working at Sun Island ( www.villahotels.com/sun/index.htm )
this used to be a favourite spot.
Off limits for the tourists, (because of unloading and other back-house activities) this jetty is bypassed by many, as uninteresting and Ugly.
I find many photo opportunities, of both action and scenery, here.
Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder.”
A sandstone formation in the South-West corner of Fezzan, close to the border Libya-Algerie. A place of stunning rock paintings, similar for abundance and quality to the nearby Tassili n’Adjjer.

A truly magical moment just before sunrise

“Coming in after a tour of the lake. Why do they throw bottles at me?”
The photographer: “An awesome cloud to keep me company.”
the photographer: “Retouched sky to eliminate some annoying ice crystals on the airplane window”.
“Taken with the old HP120″
The photographer: “This is one of my all time favorites, the first photo I took that blew me away, opened my eyes to the possibilities before me.
Taken in February of last year in Yellowstone National Park. The scene was even more surreal than a still photo can do justice, with steam rolling over the rise, creating backlit shifting patterns and shrouding the trees from view completely. Then for a moment, just a tiny moment, it would clear and the scene would split in half - all color and light and pristine snow on one side and twisted, tortured trees & steaming algae covered rock on the other.
I was a newbie to my 10D, and SLR photography in general, and had goofy settings - 800 ISO among other ridiculousness - which makes this shot one I would desperately desire to “redo” although I doubt I could recreate this if I tried. I will say this: if you ever get the opportunity to visit Yellowstone in the winter, for the love of Pete take that opportunity and run with it. Algae & Ice was taken the same morning…

The photographer: “A scene of rare Himalayan peace. Taken with Nikon F3, Tamron 300mm f2.8 lens. Kashmir”
The photographer: “I was fortunate to be standing at this spot when the sun painted these low hanging clouds with several different colors just before it dropped below the horizon….
Just west of Krum, Texas, U.S.A…..”
The Photographer: “Photo taken from NYC on the Hudson looking at New Jersey at sunset.”
The Photographer says: “Picture taken at the Great Salt Lake near Tozeur, Tunisia.
This was not too far away from the place where I took my ‘Sunrise over the Great Salt lake’ shot.”

“Cross the line
Around the sky
Never sleep
No more goodbye
Keep nice dreams at night”
Sam sand dunes in Rajasthan, India
Camera Used : Nikon D-70
The photographer: “I could get drunk on these. Bagan is a fairytale from above, and sometimes painfully real down below.”
A beach in Huatulco, Mexico.
The photographer: “Rakiura is the Maori name for Stewart Island, the ‘third island’ of New Zealand. This summer view is taken from the summit of Bluff Hill, on the far southern tip of the South Island. Foveaux Strait is right in the middle of the Roaring Forties, and is very rarely this calm.”
The Photographer: “A young boy plays with his own shadow as he bathes in the glow of a magnificent sunset at a small beach north of Sengiggi.
Lombok, Indonesia, 2004″
“Outside of the hustle and bustle of Dakha - Bangladesh lies a quiet park were people can walk, sit, and reflect on the beauty of creation around them. One afternoon as I was sitting in the grass, I was struck by the awesome beauty of these water-lilies floating in the lake beside me. A perfect moment to capture…!

“The early morning mist, glowing in the sunlight, moves across the lake at Langley Country Park, Slough”
The photographer: “The tides roll in here like thunder - it’s quite magical.”
Tokyo Sea Life Park, Tokyo, 2004
The photographer: “My favorite morning in Bagan, eery foggy light for just a few minutes before the sun broke through. Alone with my bicycle, it was a good day.”
Jeff says: “Grand Tetons, Wyoming, U.S.A. - Moulton Barn - July, 2003…the clouds parted just as I snapped the shot and I was pleasantly surprised to see the end result. Cloud movement is all luck….and I got lucky.
The “most favorited” photo in my Flickr photostream….and yes - those are bison.”
Indian idyll. Kashmir.
The photographer comments: “Ahhh Bodie. What a PLAYGROUND! Amazing sunrise, blended exposure. Yum.”
