This was a picture I took back in Yellowstone, but I really liked the colors of the murky waters and steam from the geysers. It created a unique atmosphere and gave the surrounding area some life to it rather than just your average water and tree forest scene. The calm waters with the floating steam show a tranquil mood to the scene. The jagged lines of the tree and swirling steam bring your attention to the back rather than the still waters in the front.
I found this interesting tiny article about a Chinese photographer that captured the moment of bioluminescent plankton shining up the ocean that was lapping onto the shore. This was interesting because these plankton only shine brightly when distressed or agitated like by crashing waves or in this case people stepping on them like the footprints above. Either way, it creates a magical, surreal moment.

Here are some photos taken recently and in the past and the data under each picture ready to be scrutinized by how well or how badly they were taken at the time.
This boats was interesting with the candy cane style and two red circles on the boat to match it.
These boats came around mostly during Christmastime and although Christmas has come and gone, I couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous boats that came around the harbor. There were many of them all different kinds with many different types of lights, but these two interested me the most. I think panning the camera with the lights also created an interesting vibe and light trail to the boats.
This picture was taken by me for my marketing class originally to fulfill an assignment, but I loved it so much that I decided to share it here. This picture was taken in the early morning out in a pasture and I used the horse's head to block the sun and give her a glow while I took the picture crouched on the ground. I happened to snap the picture at the exact time she exhaled into the cold air and thought that it gave the horse a spiritual, noble feel to it despite being a strong silhouette. The horse's name is Tyra and is a half Fresian cross mare.
