“The picture was taken in germany on the Obersee. The place is just fantastic even in the rain.”

“I made this photo yesterday in the Blue Bay of Sevastopol. I went there in the evening with my family and I took a tripod and a camera with me. Choosing a place to shoot, I installed a tripod. But the wind was so strong that I had to hold hands while shooting. And when the sun appeared for a few seconds because of the clouds, it turned out that the lens glass was covered with small sea drops that gave an interesting optical effect.
It turned out that the strong wind that brought the drops was the harbinger of a real storm that is now raging outside my window ...”

“1/10th of a second is my favourite exposure time when shooting fast moving water. It gives the nice lines and still sharp details. Shooting the breaking waves against the setting sun is always a great idea!”
@yblith
“Taken at Playa De Agua Liques on Fuerteventura. A beach devoid of any tourists, which required a 90 minute walk through the desert under the blazing sun to get to.”

“This photo was recently taken at South West Rocks in NSW, Australia. South West Rocks is a tiny coastal town where time slows down and your soul gets to relax. Beautiful, beautiful area! We'd never been there before, we knew nothing about the place but we packed the car and headed south on a 6 hour road trip. The area was gorgeous, the town was cute and the beaches were stunning!”
@jarosalawszafran
“A beautiful pond in the City Park in Zamość.”
@fishyculture
“My husband and I took a drive through Hell's Canyon about 2 weeks ago and got some stunning shots of the seasons changing from winter to spring. This little park is the launch site for reaching the hot spring on the opposite shore. Those are blackberry bushes in the foreground, and they produce huge, delicious berries. Berries, hot springs, gorgeous views... not quite what most people expect from "Hell!"”
