I have posted the Haystacks picture in the lens gallery, but thought I'd pop it into the Landscape gallery along with another picture. They are both taken in the English Lakes District National Park, the first from a small mountain known as 'Haystacks", looking towards Crummock Water and Ennerdale Water, with High Stile in the middle, at 2,643 feet. I know many around the world will laugh at that height being a mountain ( not those in the Netherlands ;D ) but to us Brits it's a mountain.

Second picture is taken in Borrowdale by the River Derwent, looking towards Maiden Moor, a paltry 1,887 feet.

All on the 24-105 at f11, at which aperture this lens is as good as anything else really, especially after pp.

Lovely Images Sporgon, I seemed to have missed all these lovely places when I visited the area, seemed to rain an inordinate amount of time, but your shots show just what I missed.

Toketee Falls in Southern Oregon, taken a couple weekends ago.

Very beautiful! Have you thought of maybe cropping it to a panorama size to remove some of the foreground and make the falls more prominent? I just tried it and I think it makes your great photo even more spectacular (imho)? I hope I didn't overstep decorum. Again, great photo. :)
