Wonderful! Reminds me of Glenfiddich with the prominent antlers. Not my go-to Scotch, but one I certainly have been served in the past.

Thanks. Of course I’d left the biggest lens in the car.
@TonyBarrett Nice one! Taking the high ground in the Highlands with the head turned just right.
Tnx. Had to wait for him to finish his lunch.

I somehow started a little series of monochrome flowers, let’s see how many I’ll collect. This is number three:

Not the Scotch of the region either, the well-known one would be Glen Morangie, but the one I like is Clynelish. I am not sure that you would get this outside of Scotland though.

Wife and I rode the Moonlight Wine and Dinner Train last Saturday on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad, from Chama, New Mexico round trip to Osier, Colorado Good news was, they’ve had a lot of rain so things are really green, bad news is they were still having rain and the clouds obscured the sky. Still, clouds make for nice compositions, so…
At the top of Cumbres Pass, looking back toward Chama, finishing a climb of the 4% grade. They pulled little-used cars for the train, so the rocking and jolting was worse than usual. With that and the dimming evening light I had to shoot at 1600 ISO to get a shutter speed that didn’t blur the image. Then, the sky was far brighter than the terrain, so I had to hand-craft a control-point curve to bring both into view.
Of note, the closer clouds that are blown in the JPEG rendition don’t do that in my display rendition, so I have some investigating to do about why that is…

Ha! What a coincidence, I was at the exact same spot just a week earlier (judging by the image name)!
I saw the boat but did not include it in the picture. Now that I see your viewpoint, I should have taken more time there 
Looks really good, nicely done!
Here is my version:

Nice. Those dead trees were great. There were some others further along that, thinking about it now, would look great close up with a telephoto lens as near abstract sculptural shapes. Oh well. I wondered how they were submerged.
