March Photo Challenge - Entries (Post them here).

The topic this month is: "Horizons."

This thread is only for posting your entry and any comments you'd like to make about your own photo.
If you would like to comment on other entries please use the comments thread.
As usual, one entry per person and the image must be your own work.
Normal forum rules and image size applies.

The image doesn't necessarily have to have been taken this month but we do encourage you to go out and enjoy the challenge.
The winner of the poll, which will be run at the end of the month, will get to choose next month's topic and have their
photo posted in our "Photo Challenge Hall of Fame" thread.

Good luck and good shooting.

I love her far horizons...

Hi all!

I thought I'd kick off this month's challenge with a picture I took at sunrise in Sturt's Stony Desert just north of the Flinders Ranges. The scene reminded me of Dorothea Mackellar's poem "My Country", in particular the line "I love her far horizons".

Cheers,
Mario

A Glimpse Through the Trees

I took this last weekend... a glimpse of the horizon across Gundungura Country from near the Coal Seam (south of Kanangra). Mt Colong is just right of centre. Yerranderie Peak is just right of the tress at left of frame.

This would have been just a nice sunset on the horizon shot, but somebody tried to steal the limelight ...

Taken on Holiday last year in Scotland. The original is about 12,000 pixels wide so I shrunk it a bit - it's just a tad wider than the site frame - made up of about 6 frames using Canon software

The Arrival

The foreshore on the Mersey River at Devonport was pleasantly Autumnal this morning as I fossicked for Fungi to photograph.
I caught this ship appearing on the Horizon on a Silvery Sea.

Not particularly recent, but it is one of my favourite shots of the Glasshouse Mountains from Bribie Island.

Lights Down Lights Up

Squid boats on the horizon create false auroras off the Dunedin coast and seem to be shooting signals off into space. They may be attracting more types of freakish sloppy creatures than they bargained for.

Point Peron Sunset

This shot was taken while shooting a very active thunderstorm. The lightning was to the east and I had my back to the sunset, but I became aware of the stunning reds and purples bathing everything around me and I turned to the west to be stunned by this scene. Every other photographer on the hill that afternoon did the same!

The image was originally part of a Pano. The colours are as close as I could get to what I saw in person.
