Tropical View

HDR exposure: Afternoon shot looking west from Lembeh Island across the Lembeh Strait to North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The view is framed by tropical plants. This shot is for all those enduring winter in the northern hemisphere — especially the central USA.

Autumn Stream HDR

(HDR image of a stream running through golden-colored autumn woods) The fall colors were already passing peak, but the woods blazed with gold (and a little green and orange). Standing next to the stream, I was looking due west; the warm sunset light backlit the fall colors in the woods, making the scene glow. The colors were impossibly vibrant and saturated. I decided to try an HDR capture.

Swans

(Two photos: A pair of white swans, and a black swan.) Keswick Vineyards is different from the vast majority of Virginia wineries; they have swans. We saw the pond (and the swans) when we entered the property. There were two pairs.
