I call this one "the peace before the storm"

How about these? Not from MPLS of course...

WoW ...Beautiful Peter

very majestic feel to them.

, beautifully amazing photo's... thank you for sharing as well.

I am in love with Canada, such beauty, the mountains majestic and the water and air so seemingly untouched. I would love to share just a couple/few, the surroundings definitely inspired my inner-awareness... I fell in love with the beauty of nature even more.

I took this photo when we reached the top of Beehive mountain just above Lake Louise.


On our way up...


My first glimpse of purity, I have never seen such clean waters in my life.


Good night and thank you for sharing such beautiful/inspiring images.

Thnxxx Freespirit.

Beautiful pictures to look at just before I go to bed... so peaceful and calming...

Nighty night all... sweet dreams.. , especially you sweet brat Christopher

Here are three more, all from South Africa!

My goodness, I just had to look this bright and beautiful morning and see if there were anymore awaiting.

My love, I truly love that photo taken near Camarillo, again... I love how you captured a moment that is so diverse in natures color content, show more. Pluv, I am amazed continuously, the colors and varience within your pictures are extremely moving, do you simply take picture as a hobby, you capture the moment so darn well. And Peter... , bless your soul for sharing. Where does your work take you, your work is breathtaking, south Africa did you say. (more?)

These images have just made my morning that much more beautiful. (sorry I get to overwhelmed at times) Now... off to work I go (yes, on a Sunday), beautiful day.

Thank you again.

Here are two more sunrises from Vienna, Austria (where I live)...




The last one I took last week from a place close to where I work. Photographing is a great hobby and I enjoy it more and more...

Peter said:

Good Gawd!!!...I LOVE this.

wondering how everthing stayed grey in the big bright glow of the sun...this is awesome!!!
what kinda camera do u have?

Freespirit said:

hello freespirit
I just take pics for fun...I love to be able to capture the beauty of God...when I make my way to the ocean, I like to do all nighters with the dog, my walkman of Prince and Teena Marie and my camera awaiting the sunrise
I like my lil camera but I do wish I knew how to operate one of them high tec cameras.

Peter said:

This one is more like how the sun rises in Japan every morning, nice pic

Freespirit said:

I agree completely, my love...

All of yours are wonderful... ...and Canada is definitely a place I've been wanting to visit after seeing your photos...(tell me when to pack...lol )...

Pluv's and Peter's photos are breathtaking as well...Peter's actually living my dream, it seems--to take some time out here and there to travel the world photographing and capturing every gorgeous and memorable experience...

Keep 'em coming, folks... 8)

Pluv said:

No enhancements! Just underexposured... You have only some seconds to take a shot like this. Two minutes later the sun is too bright and just a white spot. It was taken with a digital camera (Canon D60). The shots from South Africa are taken on slide film. Here are two more:

Yeah, it IS a dream and I take every chance to shoot pictures. But it is not always necessary to travel that far. Austria is beautiful too. See below...

Peter said:

Peter... your pictures are amazing... wow.

Thank you, South Africa is too beautiful...

I miss it.

Peter said:

That camera is 2,500 bucks!!!

All of these pictures are so pretty.

Sorry the two pics from Austria did not work (it was late over here...) - fixed them.

Here is a last one: Canale Grande in Venetia!

My trip to the Grand Canyon

now if i woulda had Peters 25 hundred dollar camera, that Pic woulda been much more dramatic
I want that camera

I cant get over how much that camera is...lol
same way I cant get over that Mike Tyson says he does 25 hundred sit ups A DAY

Here is another lighting Pic from the park...I like the 1st pic better because the bolt is more defined.

Peter said:

Oh my fuckin' hamhocks..!! :O

Gorgeous!!

Pluv said:

LoL!...Yeah, no kiddin'... I want one, too!...

This photo of the Grand Canyon, btw, is beautiful even without the 'spensive camera...nicely done...
