It's one of the reclamation ponds. The companies up here are doing wonderful work in reclaiming the land and this pond will eventually support life again. They have had great success with the processes they have in place despite what you may have heard.

Awesome. As much as I love nature, I am not some bunny huggin greenie. Would love to see more.

Post 848. That shot is fabulous. Nat Geo all the way...

This shot was taken in Kaslo B.C

This is the famous Burmis tree in the Crowsnest Pass Ab.

Great pics from my part of the world.

Great adds FnA. Look forward to more.

Love the slow shutter speed effect of the water pic.

Thank you..

I'll post several. I took all of these myself.



Taken outside my old back porch on an icy morning



Same as above. This was in Maryland



In the Smokies outside of Knoxville, TN



Cumberland Falls in Kentucky



Taken on my still-moving motorcycle. In Tennessee.



Same sunset, but I stopped for this one. This was with a pretty crappy camera.

The following pics were part of the Blue Ridge Parkway motorcycle trip I took a few summers ago. They are all either in TN or NC.







That one is one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken.



These last two are outside my house during "Snowmageddon" a few years ago.



A bird clinging in the high winds wishing I'd help him out instead of taking his picture



My back porch under 2.5 ft of snow.

Last four for now. These are in Valley of Fire State Park outside of Vegas.

Very nice xTHX1138x. What kind of kit are you shooting with?

Cannon. Always Cannon. Some of those are with a crappy PowerShot point and shoot, and others are with an older S3IS which has since become the beach/camping/I don't mind if I break it camera, and other still were with a T1i, or the one that I'm careful with.

I don't always carry a tripod with me, but I do use a neat trick I picked up which is to tie a string with a heavy washer on it to a bolt that fits in your tripod mount. Make the string long enough to touch the ground, step on the washer, and pull up until the string is taught. Viola! Instant stability. If I do have a tripod out on the trail, it's just a little Gorilla pod.
