Distant Landscapes can take two forms for my interpretation - one is simply distant from where I live:
Athens
Little Petra, Jordan
My own favorite distant landscapes are ones I capture using telephoto lenses:
Mt. Hood and the basalts of the eastern Columbia River Gorge region:
Telephoto photography in the Bisti
Vancouver Lake Sunset using a telephoto lens on a Mavic 4 Pro drone
Clouds and the moon at sunset - 166mm on a Mavic 3 Pro drone
Athens
Little Petra, Jordan

I am taking a distance from where I live approach to this week's task.

I may drive for days from my home to a place special to me, only to find out it is the backyard of another photographer I met there. It's all relative to where you start your journey or where you live.
The San Juan River and some Hoodoos in Utah. Far from me. Close to you if you live in Bluff!

Alan, I like your two interpretations of distant––and beautiful images from both interpretations! I really like both of your distant landscapes of Little Petra and Athens. Both are very interesting images and would perhaps typify another distant interpretation––distant past. Both are well composed as well. I really enjoyed the telephoto interpretation too. The Mt. Hood and the Bisti are both favorites––great compositions. The Vancouver Sunset is one gorgeous image and perhaps my overall favorite. Very nice! The Clouds and Moon image is another favorite. I love the minimalist composition...perfect! Thanks for sharing each of these Alan!

Jameel, truly beautiful images you've shared today and thank you for doing so. I love the Patricia Lake composition with the beautiful colors and perfect composition. Very nice. I like the fall scene in Vermont as well, with a colorful refection included. Nice. The Grand Tetons is my favorite image of the group. Perfect composition with beautiful colors captured with the blue mountains and autumn forest with still waters below. Very nice. I like the captured autumn colors in the Provo landscape. I love all the autumn orange foliage with the diagonal group of yellow trees within it. Great eye and great capture! And the Black Canyon image certainly benefits from the gorgeous clouds in the sky above. Again nice capture. Thanks for sharing!
