Hike
A hiker on top of the maiden moor peak along the edge of derwent water, with the cat bells ridge in the foreground and bassenthwaite lake in the distance. Really pleased with how this came out :-) such amazing views up there, well worth the effort of scrambling to the top!

Early morning by lake Frostastadavatn
Frostastaðavatn is a mountain-lake in Iceland. It is situated in the Highlands of Iceland, not far from the famous mountains of Landmannalaugar and the volcano Hekla.
Evidence of volcanism shows around this lake, for example, green and blue water is often found around volcanoes.
Two highland roads run along its shore, Fjallabak syðri and Landmannaleið.
Maybe you can see the moon on the photo.
And here is another photo taken on same time, after I changed over to my Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 lens. www.flickr.com/photos/arnitr/1306592981/

Hot Air Cloud Ride
The sun was just about to set, this is the natural color on the clouds at the time.
For the whole duration of the flight we were watching this storm cloud build about 100 miles to the east over the deserts. Meanwhile, Greg who was flying this balloon called 'Eye in the Sky' or just 'Eye' for short, was all over the sky at various altitudes and traveling every which way. I was waiting and looking for his balloon to line up with the storm cloud knowing that would make for the best photo. Suddenly it happened, he was in a quick decent and I only had a few seconds to grab my camera and fire off a few shots. Meanwhile I was flying a full load of 20 passengers in my balloon and very focused on getting to a good landing spot myself.
I'm thrilled that this shot was so popular, making it to the explore #1 spot on the calendar page. Thanks for all the comments and favs, wish I could respond to each one individually.
The Leeward Side
Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
Caught this on the northen leeward side of Amelia Island this weekend. It was so hot and nature provided such a beautiful display of clouds in the afternoon. Have a wonderful Monday!

The Sensation
To take photographs means to recognize -- simultaneously and within a fraction of a second -- both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis. -Henri Cartier-Bresson
