This is the ruins of the 17C Spanish mission church at Taos Pueblo. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times until it finally sheltered the insurgents following the Indian and Mexican revolt against the US takeover of the territory in 1846, when the US Army destroyed it and the rebels inside.
 
This is a view of Mont Dolent (the triangular peak just left of center) which is the natural land border between Switzerland France and Italy. This image is significant to me as I buried my father's ashes at the foot of the mountain in 2017. Hasselblad 500C/M 80mm Fuji Reala.
 
 
@GLS I've been enjoying the fall images. You must not get much sleep this time of year.

Your images display a little too big to see them all at once on my screen. While scrolling down with the Padley view image, two of your images back, at the point where most of the sky was cut out, the image took on a quality of light that looked as if it was being illuminated by the center tree. Very nice.
 

Many thanks. I try to make the most of the season each year, other commitments allowing.

Apologies if my images are a bit too large for some. I like to have a good amount of detail in the previews I post, but it's always a balancing act to try and pick a resolution which isn't too much for most screens (I have a 4K monitor myself). If you follow the link to Flickr, then press L and F11 you will get a fullscreen presentation of the image on black. I find that's always how they look their best anyway.

As to the Padley View image, at the time I did consider a tighter composition with a 150mm, but I couldn't make it work. It's funny you mention the luminous quality of the centre tree though. As I was processing the image I imagined a scenario in which that tree was a wind-blown fire, and the other bare trees were huddling around it for warmth.

From a test roll, was having trouble focusing at infinity.

note: taken a few days ago, Lahore was #1 as the most polluted / smoggiest cities in the world.
 
From my series "Années de Pèlerinage", inspired by the suites for piano by Franz Liszt.
Liszt composed these suites during his 'elopement' with his beloved Marie d'Agoult (a successful writer under the pseudonym Daniël Stern) across Switzerland and the Alps to Italy, who, still married at the time to Charles Louis Constant Comte d'Agoult, became his wife later.

This one I call "Vallée d'Obermann n°1", this valley is a romantic imagination by Liszt, inspired on an epistolary novel by de Senancour and is also an ode to Byron (Pèlerinage de Childe Harold), where thoughts, reflections and emotions can be freely expressed...
