Thursday’s Task: Landscape SCRAMBLE game board: Sunrise. Your interpretation. My examples below:
Bryce Canyon National Park, UT
Smoky Mountains National Park, TN
Melton Hill Lake, TN
Watson Lake, AZ
Alan, perfect compositions and varied locations of majestic sunrises! Thank you for sharing. Perhaps my favorite is the Monument Valley sunrise—love this composition! The very colorful Death Valley and Harris Beach images are favorites too! Another favorite is the Siuslaw River—like the contrast of warm and cool colors and its composition. Nice!Wonderful way to start the day and you have given us some very nice examples.

Larry, three beautiful sunrise captures! I especially love Balanced Rock in Arches—quite a sight and great photo! The Denver sunrise is another memorable image too. Perhaps my favorite is the Dead Horse Point sunrise—love the partially lighted rocks in the background—nice! Thank you for sharing Larry!Here are 3 from my archive:

I was hoping you would contribute a few of your beautiful images Ken—thank you! I absolutely love the Ullswater and the Tewet Tarn images—love the wider compositions and subtle colors. Very nice and my favorites! The Bamburgh Castle also has an interesting composition with the “weight” on one side but balanced by the wide expanse of “empty” space. Nice. Again thank you for sharing.Bamburgh Castle, NE England

Kyle, these are a few of my favorites too! Thank you for sharing these awe inspiring images. I cannot choose a favorite among them but appreciate each for their composition, colors, light, and to me exotic locales.A few of my favorite sunrises...

Jeffrey, remarkable sunrises with very interesting subjects—I love seeing/photographing old “structures” too. I especially love the composition capturing the sunrise through the window in your second beautiful image! Nice! And your first image of the leaning old house was perhaps captured “just in time!” Love the sky! Another memorable image and my favorite. Thank you for sharing!I've got a few classic sunrises in the bag, but since I'm in North Dakota this week photographing old structures, I'll contribute two from this trip that I'm still on. This is the area around Bottineau, ND. (that is not lens distortion. It's a real leaner!).
