This is such a fun thread John. So imaginative.
Here are some from a trip to Scotland a few years ago.

I think you get extra points in a game where you land on a square with an animal!

I have mixed feelings about this scene. I slipped on a wet stone while trying to get a picture of a beautiful Bumblebee and broke a lens and my camera. It was an amazing hike though.

Trent, lovely images from Scotland you’ve shared—thank you! Love the inclusion of the sheep, too! Sorry about your camera and lens while hiking/shooting the gorgeous landscape you shared—my favorite image. And your last image—very, very nice too!

Alan, very beautiful “valley” images! I especially LOVE the Death Valley, Siuslaw River, and the Palouse River Valley images—and the Columbia River Gorge’s composition is very, very nice too!
 
it's a small range in western mountana, directly north of virginia city.
Beth, your post just brought back a flood of memories from my time in the Tobacco Root Mountains at Indiana University's Field Station near Caldwell, Montana. That course was one of the best courses I ever took. The breadth of geological situations in that area is amazing and the area there is considered a world class geological site. Thanks.

Doug, I love each and every one of these images! The El Capitan capture may be my favorite—love the cool colors of the snow-covered rocks in the water contrasting with the warmth of the mountain behind—nice! I also love the Antelope Valley spring landscape—very, very beautiful capture. The Monument Valley Mitten is a very special capture of a well-known landscape—also very, very nice!

Craig, seven Wows—beautiful imagery throughout! “Muley Overlook” (love the middle ground spaciousness) and “Rock of Ages” are two of my favorites. “Raven’s View” and “Emptiness” are another group I especially love. Perfect framing of these spacious landscapes resulting in very good composition throughout. And by the way…love the titles!
