Some favorite travel slides of mine- scanned and processed with PhotoShop.
1. Australia- Uluru
2. Death Valley
3. Mono Lake looking south
4. Upper Antelope Canyon
5. Grand Canyon- somewhat painterly
Charlie.............amazing set IMHO. Something very cool about how they all look together here
You are definitely a traveler and I am glad you carried a camera
#1 nice amount of foreground to guide me back and enjoy the play of light and textures
#2 so glad that the horizon was above center in this one, I love the foreground and the richness of the light and strength of mountains in this image, gosh this is a great one
#3 How did you do that, it keeps playing tricks on my eyes Dramatic and energizing!
#4 wonderful light spilling in to offer all that texture. At times it looks like two ghostly figures
#5 Grand Canyon...........yes indeed!
Charlie, I like all of them, but, gosh, No. 2 - what is more real, the subject or its reflection? It doesn't really matter, as the viewer is really drawn in, either way. The streaking clouds, rich light and lay of the mountains make this very pleasing.
Thanks Scott, Karl, Birdie, Killer, Aubs, Mike, Glenn, Maji and Tim.
Cherry picking has its pleasures .
Re the Death Valley image: occasionally heavy rains in the surrounding mountains bring enough water into the valley's catchments so that shallow, wide "lakes" appear for a few days or weeks.
The main one is at Badwater (the lowest surface elevation in North America). And that's where I took the shot.
Note- I stayed on the hardscrabble all the time because footprints made in the mud will last for years, and IMO that's inexcusable to do on purpose.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful set of scenics Charlie... very well seen and captured.
These images are well thought out and nicely composed, you have a good eye for landscapes.
I enjoyed seeing each of these, and you're living my dream of being a traveler with a camera.
I'll look forward to the next link.
Thanks Kirk, Mabidally and Justin.
Getting to Uluru is a bit of a hassle as far as transportation is concerned- but easily do-able.
And it'll still be waiting for you, Justin. Just remember the seasons are reversed in the Land of Oz- and summers in the Red Center are blisteringly hot.

That is a nice set and you have my vote for featured thread! I gotta concur with Scott, easily the best set you've posted. How much more magic you got stored away in that safe of yours
Nice set. I like the #1 shot, probably because I hope to visit there someday.
Overall the first three shots are very clean shots -- simple, clear vision. That's a good recipe to follow.
Dramatic and energizing!
Excellent work .
