Little ZigZag River near Mt. Hood
I photographed this scene at Descanso Gardens in Los Angeles during the holidays. I just the play of colors on the water. It’s a very tranquil and yet surreal scene.
My wife and I escaped for a 10-day relaxation stay at Calabogie Lodge in May to celebrate the end of tax season… a killer-time for my spouse. The resort was closed for all special features but open for those just relaxing… no restaurant, no pool, no tennis court, no boat rentals, etc., etc.. However, the loons were on the lake and the sun played it’s games on the scenery. We loved it!
This photograph was taken while hiking in upstate NY
I’m a backyard photographer and a bit intimidated by the quality of the other entries, but decided to take the plunge with my dogs playing in the water.

This was a grab shot taken on a cloudy day at the lower end of Buttermere a few days before lockdown last autumn- the fields were flooded and the water surging around submerged rocks briefly caught the light during a fleeting break in the cloud – I was happy to have caught the shot as I clung to a tree and leaned out over the water

Savage Creek drains a series of lakes (Savage Lakes – what else?) near the continental divide, flowing through lush subalpine vegetation to its confluence with the Fryingpan River near Basalt. This shot was taken with a Canon T5i using a 10mm wide angle lens, f13, 1/5 second, ISO 100.
I was on a photo trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park guided by Back Country Journeys. With my Canon t7i, I ran a 30 second exposure of the base of this waterfall to highlight the motion of the water. I had the aperture closed to its minimum and an nd32 neutral density filter.

New Zealand is the only other place I would live other than in the Southwest of America where I was born, raised and educated, then married. I live now in New Mexico between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. My eldest daughter lives in New Zealand and we have visited there many times and in fact bought a house in Hanmer Springs so we could winter there.
It’s unfortunate that this contest is only open to those in the U.S. I am from Canada and as per the rules, I not eligible to enter.

Nikon D750 (Tamron 150-600 mm), 1/2000 sec at f/5.6, ISO250, 300mm – Feb 12,2021.
We had booked a holiday in Yorkshire thinking we would have a relaxing, sunny and enjoyable stay. The stay WAS enjoyable despite Haygarth Falls flooding everywhere. It was a spectacle to be behold and I love photographing water. Got very wet trying to get a perfect shot but I am pleased with the result and my submission for this contest is one of the best that I too that day.
During quarantine, access to places for landscape photography was impossible. However, there are some opportunities that lie ahead of us and we did not give proper attention to them. I live in a suburb of Athens and 100 meters from my house, I found a forest with a small stream that descends from the mountain of Penteli and creates an incredible landscape in the urban space. I designed the photo shoot in good weather so that there was the right lighting and in the morning, I would have more peace of mind. I was lucky that last night it had a light rain and increased the amount of water even for a while. I went into the water several times until I thought it gave me a good combination of water flow and the rest of the environment, so that the composition would give the feeling of natural beauty and spring awakening.
This was photographed prior to the great Columbia Fire.
Thanks.
