Happy New Year! Post your Peaceful Feeling Photo!

[Mike Mancil]

Here's wishing you and your families a very Happy and Peaceful New Year.

I invite you to post a photo that, in your experience, evoked a feeling of peace to you. This photo was taken this past June at Andrews Bald in the Smoky Mountains. The Flame Azaleas were blooming, it was quiet, with only the sound of birds and breeze; the few hikers present all talked in a murmur, seeming to share my reluctance to break the sanctity of the silence.

Nice peaceful image and neat idea for a post. Here is one from the Grand Tetons last summer.

This is one I posted about a month ago from near the confluence of Sweet Creek and the Siuslaw River. A very quiet calm morning with almost no breeze at all.

Mike - Thanks for sharing your kind thoughts and the awesome shot.

Here's what floats my boat in the sea of chaos.

One I just worked up from my recent trip. On the 15th, a soft blue hour over one of the Buckley Ponds, near Bishop.

This is an image I took in Maroon Valley near Aspen on a cold fall morning that was windless and cloudy. Happy New year to all on Focus World.

I took this back when I used to work out in the middle of nowhere 18 miles southeast of La Sal. Always liked this one. The end of the day, a long relaxing ride home. That job was one of the main reasons I got into photography. Rather than suffering from seasonal affective disorder during the winter months I wanted to make the most of the morning and evening since I'd go out in the dark and come back in the dark.

Nice thread and great shots so far. This is a lot of what I seek when shooting landscapes.

Ahhh, one day I'm going to be industrious enough to get to Cades Cove before daylight. I knew where this was before seeing the title. Wonderful place and shot... Mike
