Blue Morning at Sea by Cora Wandel

I have trouble with photographs like this because credit really goes to nature, not me, for all I basically did was point and shoot. No fancy set-up, creative angle, nothing but shooting the scene as I saw it. So I may have set my camera at a particular ISO and shutter speed, but no great skill there either. If you like this photograph, then give credit to Mother Nature, she’s the one who set the scene for me, all I did was shoot it. Camera: Canon Rebel XTi 400D

Longing for the SUN by CynLynn

One of my neighbors prize winning Black Eyed Susans. / The Ohio winter is setteling in. The skies are gray, the wind has a biting chill and I am longing to see and feel the bright warm sun. My wait will be long and cold with only worse conditions to come. To look at this beautiful flower gives me a bit of warmth to make it through the cold to come…................. This is as is.

Arlington House by Cora Wandel

On a Virginia hillside rising above the Potomac River and overlooking Washington, D.C., stands Arlington House. The 19th-century mansion seems out of place amid the more than 250,000 grave sites that stretch out around it. Yet, when construction was completed in 1802, the 1,100-acre estate was not intended to become Arlington National Cemetery and eventually have one of the most famous grave sites in the world, that of President John F. Kennedy, sixty yards beneath it on the slope of the hill the mansion is on top of. The mansion, which was intended as a living memorial to George Washington, was constructed by the first president’s adopted grandson, George Washington Parker Custis, who himself was a child of Martha Washington by her first marriage. In its years as a lived-in home its most famous resident was Major General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate Army of the Civil War. Lee lost the home during the War when federal troops crossed the Potomac and took possession of its choice 1,100-acre location and established a military base there, which today is known as Fort Myer. On June 15, 1864, the United States government appropriated a substantial portion of the grounds for use as a military cemetery, and named it Arlington National Cemetery. ___________________________________________________ Source: Arlington National Cemetery Historical Information Camera: Canon Rebel XTi 400D This photograph is “as is” from the camera, with no post processing

From on high - Lake Bled, Slovenia by chijude

The view from the 1000 year castle overlooking the lake. There has been no modification of the colour – it simply was that blue. The Church of St Mary’s, on the only island in the lake, was reached by a traditional ‘Plenta” boat. Photo taken with Pentax optio 705z As Is
