Wow. This is going to be a tough one.

I just got back from my "nature hour". We'll see how my shots develop later. LOL


Really??? you develop them? How quaint and old fashioned.

Oh and by the way...........spendiong time with nature here in Australia means going to the toilet............an hour is rather a long time and why were you taking photos in there? looking down?? ooook.

Are you open for suggestion? If so, and also keeping with autumn, can we have something very interpretive? "Ephemerality" comes to mind...
 
Jamshyd, I am definitely open to suggestions, have asked for them on several occasions and in posting the above had hoped that some would be tempted. I'd like to keep it simple though. There was a request much earlier in the game that we keep to simple, specific themes and I think it's worked out best that way.
 
while there are some epic and beautiful landscapes in this round already, there's just something about ba's photo which captures a moment for me. it sounds weird, but it's the one which made me most feel the 'looking down' feeling. nice shot.

Thanks! I thought that picture captured the theme well. =D

"spending time with nature" means pretty much the same here. :)

Anyhow, I've finally developed my prints (translation: I found the USB cable)

I understand they have a Devil's Punchbowl in several locations around the globe. This is ours.
 
ninja, if I'm standing below the cross, how in the world could you imply that I am looking down on Christianity?

As for looking up/down, I'll leave it to the people to interpret as they will. To me, the meaning of the composition in front of me as I stood there was "Looking down". You could interpret it as the people on that landing looking down, as God looking down, as religion looking down, etc., but most certainly not as me looking down on anything.

edit: then again, you could interpret it as anything, so I guess that first line shouldn't be there, eh? I just gave myself a touché on your behalf, ninja. LOL
