Jon: Very nice images from the UK. I wouldn't have expected the snow-covered peaks to be from Wales. Thanks for a bit of education! I like your perspective on the Scotland image--very evocative of the isle of Skye.
Random stop along the highway south of Grand Coulee Dam, WA, USA. I'm glad the clouds were there that day to paint the landscape for me. 5D3, 17-40 @ 17mm, f/8, 1/500s, ISO 100.
Near Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia. I was walking the beach walk with my siblings and wandered by myself into a dead-end along one of the paths and discovered people fishing among the cliffs. I don't know anything about fishing so it never occurred to me that you could catch anything in that type of surf. 5D3, 17-40 @ 40mm, f/8, 1/125s, ISO 125.
Parking lot at work. I brought in my camera to show a coworker that day, and decided to work late because traffic was terrible. Amazingly, when I finally left past 8 pm a thick fog had covered everything, and I found these trees and lamp about 20 feet from my car. 5D3, 24-70 @ 27mm, f/2.8, 1/80s, ISO 4000.

My humble contribution. The first photo was taken in January of 2013 on my trip to Death Valley. I had setup my camera on some salt flats, and watched as a storm made its way closer well after sunset. It began to rain when I shot this, and the next morning, this location was submerged in several inches of water.
The second photo was taken on a very peaceful backpacking trip in Southern Utah. I had this canyon virtually for myself for several days.
The final photo was taken on my recent trip to Zion National Park. It is of a tree I hadn't noticed in past years, but this year the conditions were ideal. The tree was at the peak of fall color, and the wall in the background was covered in fresh green moss from the rain the day before. Soft reflected light from a nearby canyon wall gave the dark sandstone a wonderful purplish hue.
