This one will be really easy for me as well as the rest of us left coasters :)

I really like both of the Middle Prong Little River shots - I lie the colors in both but the feeling of depth in the first one pulls me in more.

In 2013 my wife and I flew with our bicycles from Saskatoon to Montreal and then rode our bikes from Montreal to Moncton, New Brunswick. That is a long way east of my home in Saskatoon so I guess it qualifies. This was in October and the trees were in full fall mode.

Eastern Townships, Quebec.

Gorgeous shots John. I love the way the clouds sit in the image from the Smoky Mountains.

Trent, three beautiful captures in your eastern travels––my favorite perhaps is the image of the travels in New Brunswick, wonderful autumn colors!

This is as far East as I can go in England. St Mary's lighthouse Whitley Bay

As far East as I can go in Europe, Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Istanbul

Lastly as far East as I can go before it changes to West
Wayalailai one of the Yasewa islands, Fiji I live at 2.74 degrees West, Wayalailai is 177.14 degrees East therefore a grand total of 179.88 degrees East approx 10 miles before I was exactly half way around the world. We travelled to Fiji when my wife retired, the perfect place to unwind. Ken

Alan, an interesting and wide variety (and distance) of “East” images! Many superb captures particularly Bisti, Bryce, and Antelope Canyon. I like the two geo features in the first image juxtaposed together—nice composition. And I now view my local garbage collection service with new respect and appreciation.

Ken, three stunning images from your “East.” I love the lighthouse and its long exposure and composition and the beautiful light in the last beach landscape. Very nice!

Love the Cadillac Mountain image—nice composition and beautiful colors, my favorite. The Spoonbill is a nice capture and its pinks display nicely against the green. The bog looks like an interesting environment with all the rich greens—nice take.

Very nice images Kyle—great compositions in all three. The Conway Summit’s beautiful autumn colors create a memorable image. The Two Medicine Lake is a stunning landscape image for its colors and composition—well done!
