Thanks for the info about he controlled burn!!!

Hi... no, today's photo is the quarry pond in Pinnacle Mountain State Park in Little Rock.

The pond at OT MM210 is in one of my adopted sections of the OT (Friends of the Ouachita Trail). I know it very well. This photo: bsky.app/profile/dism... was taken at the OT MM 210 wildlife pond.

View of an abandoned sandstone quarry in central Arkansas. The quarry has turned into a pond that has an amazing blue-green color under overcast skies.

Pond in an abandoned sandstone quarry in central Arkansas. The color of the water is striking under the diffused light of an overcast late February sky. This is actually what it looks like when you are there. 📷 Fujifilm X-T3 #naturephotography, #forestphotography, #PinnacleMountainStatePark

When the water was too shallow to run the rapids in a canoe loaded with gear, we had to guide the canoes through using the bow/stern ropes. Called "lining" the canoe. Fun times.

The Rio Grande river, with people guiding a canoe throught shallow rapids. Steep canyon walls visible in the background.

I made this photo 50 years ago (1975) while on a week-long canoe trip through the Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande river on the Texas-Mexico border. The trip was 85 miles and we were on the river for about a week. 📷 Nikkormat with 50 mm lens. #film, #RioGrande, #canoeing, #film_photography

Reflections on the surface of a forest pond surrounded by tall trees. The green at the top is mostly water lily leaves while green in the middle & bottom is from reflected pine trees.

This panorama is amazing! It's an outstanding composition and photograph even without considering that its from a pinhole camera, but its especially amazing for a camera without glass.

Thanks!

Agree, every step is an experiment. Thanks!

Correction... this is the camera used to make the above photo, from Zero Image (612B) (not Vermeer).

A view, straight down, of a flower bed in a backyard, in late fall, with a hellebore plant in the center with its dark green leaves, covered across the whole frame with bright yellow and red Japanese maple leaves and a few brown oak leaves.

Just a shot from my backyard today of a hellebore plant covered with Japanese maple and a few oak leaves, under the diffused light of a gray, overcast late-fall sky. Saturation was not increased, in fact it was reduced. 📷Sony ILCE-7rV #woodlandphotography, #naturephotography, #Arkansas

Black & white photo of sunset over a lake in central Arkansas, on a dark, gray, dismal, cold, February day, with a winged elm tree in the immediate foreground stretching diagonally across the whole scene.

Thanks! Agree about foveon cameras. Its difficult to define but there's something different (in a good way) about the way they render fine detail and color.

Viewing looking upstream at North Sylamore Creek in northeastern Arkansas. Crystal clear water flows over the shallow creek bottom, with a rock beach on the left, a multicolored cliff on the right, and fall colors of the trees on both sides.

Black & white view of a forest road in the mountains just after a rain shower, when the forest was transiently illuminated by the sun's rays streaming through the trees and reflecting from the wet road surface.

July 7, 2008 Walking between the mountain villages of Sarona and Curiglia (Italy). After a thunderstorm, the sun illuminated the forest for a fleeting moment. Recorded this scene with my 7.2 MP DMC FX30 pocket cam; a minute later the forest was dark again. #landscapephotography #blackandwhite

Black and white view of a forest path going up a hill into the morning sun.

Snapshot from this morning, a forest path leading uphill into the morning sun. The backlit detail is what caught my eye and the B&W version seems preferrable to convey that aspect. Central Arkansas 📷 ILCE-7RM5 Lens: 9 mm #landscapephotography #naturephotography #blackandwhite #Arkansas

As a viewer of your photograph, I was also instantly drawn to the gloominess of the scene. Wonderful composition, as it is.

The setting sun illuminates forest trees, leaves and grass with yellow-orange light on the shore of a lake. The sun is visible through the trees with a starburst pattern. Central Arkansas, USA. November 20, 2024

Today's walk at the lake... that moment of the day, just before sunset, when the light of the sun illuminating the forest is deep yellow-orange and almost horizontal. 📷Sony A7RV, Lens: Voigtländer 15mm F4.5 Super Wide Heliar. #landscapephotography #naturephotography #landscape

View west from a cliff overlooking the Fulk Mountains, including Pinnacle Mountain, with a mix of green and fall colors. The Maumelle river meanders on the right side of the photo, with a green farm field in the distance. The scene is somewhat dark and the sky is gray because thunderstorms were approaching.

North Sylamore Creek (Arkansas) looking upstream from the bank at rapids, reflections on the clear water, yellow fall colors (November) and blue sky over the distant hills. November 2018.

Another one from the North Sylamore Creek Trail backpacking trip in NE Arkansas. The colors actually were this brilliant. It was one of those incredible days when progress is slow because you want to photograph everything. 📷 Old Panasonic ZS200. #naturephotography #landscapephotography

Thanks!
