Jeffrey, beautiful landscapes—with a beautiful variety of settings! The Death Valley sky captured certainly gives one pause—especially given the location! I love the beauty of the Carrizo Plain sky—which was anything but “plain.” Beautiful. The Escalante, UT image was another favorite as well. Thank you for sharing.

Alan, the shadow across the sky in your first image is an amazing capture—thank you for sharing this and all the sunrises and sunsets. Another favorite is the Bandon sunset,— picturesque perfect. Of course, the Harris Beach setting always provides beautiful images—and thank you for sharing them.

Rick, beautiful black and wife landscapes you’ve shared, the B&W editing accentuates the skies and the land beneath—I especially like the layers in your first composition. Again thank you for sharing.

Larry, beautiful examples you’ve shared—thank you, in color and B&W too! I love the New Zealand sunset, a favorite. I also favor the Colorado sand dunes with that beautiful sky! I also like the Utah image—good light and capture. Of course the Turquoise Lake image’s B&W edit works well displaying the prominent clouds beautifully.
