You took a smaller shutter speed for the third one, right?

Yeah. I wanted to capture the movement of the water.

Great photos there, 666Emperor666

I see the nature is wery much like Norway, as expected since we are neighbour countries! Hehe.

Thanks! I'd very much like to visit Norway some day. I want to see the mountains there.

Some more Norwegian propaganda:

Yey, one more on my side! hehe.

Adding some more myself from the winter, missing it wery much now.

These photos are epic indeed. Amazing for everyone to share their photography! And the Norway landscapes are particularly awe-inspiring. Wish I had an opportunity to see sights as such when I was in Denmark!

Same here! And Your winter pictures are not helping the situation.

This is stunning. Does anyone have any photographs of places outside of western civilization, like from Africa or Asia?

Turkey is pretty westernized, but here are a few pictures from there:








There's a Lycian tomb right in the middle of this picture.

Cool to se photos of turkey! Looks good.

Some fresh photos from yesterday when me and a friend drove all across norway (west to east) and back again.










And some photos taken here were i live:

Wow great photos everyone! Norway and Finland (I'm assuming Sweden aswell) look alot like Northern Canada for sure I actually had to look where 666Emperor666 was from because it looks like those pictures could have been taken all within a half hour drive of my house.

This...is...just...

*fights back tears*

*makes as wallpaper*

This is all I've got:

Everything I've seen here so far has been pretty impressive, actually.

EDIT: I really wish these damn power line towers didn't have to be so close to my house. They subtract from the "rural" vibe around here.

Man that completely sucks. Whoever erected that tower better be providing monetary compensation for when you sell that house, it has to be killing you on property value in that area.

haha

I don't know if I confused you, but I took this picture FROM my house- I'm not unfortunate enough to be living in the one right next to the tower. Still, it makes me uneasy just thinking about the health problems the radiation might cost me in the future.

nice photos, I'll probably take my camera up north with me soon for some desert snaps, maybe. Norway looks brilliant (rather keen for my visit there) but fjords and snowy forests do sort of, eventually get a bit old. Well not really but some variety would be nice.

yeah, but I'd imagine they dont have much of forests or snowy fjords down in Australia...

They always show Australia on TV as being sort of a big, flat desert (like in those "Mad Max" movies) but I am sure there are lots of pretty scenic, neat looking places down there- I would like to see some pics.

Up in the Sierra Nevadas about 50 miles north of Lake Tahoe last week



full size

WA is generally big and flat, we have a few little hills with some decent views but nothing hugely exciting. Next time I'm heading to the south coast I'll get some footage of the Karri forests; that's some really pretty stuff. WA has amazing waves and I enjoy the desert and isolation but for scenery there's a lot of better places in the world, for sure.

Great photos. I could so easily move to Norway. It is certainly an option once I finish my degree, haha.

I found some pics from Malta, which were taken about 4 years ago.

Sunrise from an airplane:


Two pics of the Blue Grotto, an amazing place with majestic cliffs, and underwater caves:




As you can see there isn't really much nature left in Malta, since it's so small most of it is built up already:

Haha, sorry for all the photos of the same nature, just this is what we have

Yes, take some photos of Australia! A place i one day will travel to!


Nice photos of Malta there, i was there for like 5-6 years ago.
I also think we was at the 'Blue Grotto'

I guess it works both ways then

well, we do have some pretty spectacular scenery around the place. Ningaloo reef, the kimberley gorges, the kalbarri gorges, karri forest, that place near Broken Hill in NSW that is so flat and barren you can see the curvature of the Earth, the desert (the landscape around Kalgoorlie is really nice and tranquil in winter), the Daintree, the Brisbane rainforest, most of Tasmania, the beaches around Esperance, the completely stunning star coverage in the middle of the desert, etc etc etc etc. Probably a far bit more stuff to look at then Norway really, which has fjords, forests and snow and pretty much nothing else at all.

I'll post some photos, just give me a few weeks! I've been meaning to hit up the ningaloo again anyway and might do that on my next break, money depending of course.

I lived there at one point in time. If you want some stunning scenery, Tasmania is certainly the place to go. For a time during my childhood, I used to live near this town called Stanley (Northwest). The most picturesque and tranquil place I've ever visited. Definitely a picture or two was taken when I went back there for a visit in 2008, not sure where my pictures are though :/

great topic guys lots of beatiful pictures.i thought i'll introduce my country nicaragua to you guys hope you enjoy it

Some killer photos in this thread. Many thanks for the computer screen inspiration! I'll contribute too since Alaska's pretty metal:

meganerd, the first and last photos are especially awesome in my opinion, but great work overall

meganerd: That's pure beauty. Would like to see more from you!

Looks like the spine of an ancient beast.

Late fall, the day before first snow


Same day, Denali National Park


The view 20 miles from my cabin.


Tried my hand at full-moon night photography last December.


Mt. Hayes is the highest mountain in my region.


About 20 below in interior Alaska.


An older one, from when I lived in Washington.




Above Seward, AK. Norway without all the people


More from the coast - it rains a lot there... The attentive might recognize this lake from a certain album cover by a certain Norwegian band. Hint: they reversed the photo.

Anyway, I'll stop for now.

From my trip to Finland two years ago:













From my trip to Italy last year:



Taken about 500m away from my house:





I actually don't know anymore where this was taken, but I found it on my phone and thought it would fit this thread:



I also had some nice photos of a swamp about 12km away from where I live, but sadly they got lost when my old computer collapsed.

Nice!

Some more photos from the winter:


The lake here, it was frozen solid with around 40cm thick ice:


This is taken from inside our house, from the window (the same lake as abow):



And a photo of a beautiful fullmoon:

The opposite of winter, but still interesting.

I do have a lot of other photo's from Egypt, Balkan countries and Mexico / Guatemala / Honduras but the photo's above came directly to mind.

I'm almost off work, so I'll post more later.

Here's a pic of the Pacific Ocean in Washington, and Crescent Lake in the Olympic Rainforest. Just cell phone pics though :/

More from Lake Chelan, Washington

Some new photos from my trip to a place called 'Mjølfjell' 3 days ago here in Norway:


This was outside the cabin:





Anyone see what this looks like?




This a mountain farm dating back to the year 1300:
