Scraping together some landscape shots from photo pit bottom...

I like these three shots the best in this set.

Strada dei Lombardi

Just over the Cerreto Pass in the Apennines, that connects Reggio Emilia to the Lunigiana area of Tuscany, you can follow the path of an old Medieval road, that winds its way upwards through the Chestnut woods. I photographed this place several years ago, and I decided to give it another go. I used hand held HDR for most of these shots, with PP in Capture 1

I also took a look at one of my favourite Autumn spots, on the Cerreto Pass,

I imagine that in such forest is hard to find good subject, so this medieval road is helping here.
I like these small lakes in forest, they are quiet and peaceful, but at same time bit mysterious and dangerous. Here quite many such lakes have (or had) tanks or vehicles from WW II.

Curve

Interesting, how do people get to lighthouse? Do they use boat?
Only thing that bothers me in this photo is "horizon" in middle, maybe cropping bit off from top so this distant shoreline is in third would work better?

The Promise of Mist

A forecast for "persistent mist" saw me heading into Brinscall Woods on Sunday afternoon, with things looking very promising during the drive over. Brinscall is situated at the bottom of a valley and as I drive into the village I can usually see Withnell Moor rising up on the far side with the woods clinging to its lower flanks, but on this day it was just a pale grey mass. That is, it was until I descended into Brinscall and found myself below the fog layer with a pretty clear view of the woods. Still, there was hope for some misty woodland shots as the higher reaches of the woods were still reaching into the mist overhead, all I had to do was get up to them from my starting point at the bottom of the hill.

As I'm still struggling a bit when out and about, I took the Nikon kit, comprising the Z8 and the 24-70 f/2.8S along with the 70-180 f/2.8 which ended up being dead weight in my camera bag, fortunately it's not very heavy. I also took along my filter kit and the tripod which also doubled as a walking stick while scrambling over some of the more treacherous parts of the woods.

A Hint of Mist

This is the central tree from the previous shot, taken from the other side. I think it makes a more interesting subject from here, even if I was cautiously stood in a load of nettles to get this shot. I'm actually getting some evidence of this elusive mist with the background being ever so slightly faded looking from here.

The Conductor

Here, my minds eye sees a small choir of trees being led by the conductor in the foreground, although in reality, it's probably just a small group of trees and a thoughtfully placed camera.

Great photos, I like these 2, you have ability to see trees in forest. First is great by this big tree in its own space, last has nice contrast bringing out these smaller trees with all their branches.

The Long Lost Track

Here, I'm about a third of the way up the hillside and have reached what was once one of two main tracks running through this part of the hillside. It's hard to imagine that if you go back 100 years this was all open meadows. This track gets pretty much impassable as you continue along it, turning into something of a quagmire at certain times of years.

The Conductor

Here, my minds eye sees a small choir of trees being led by the conductor in the foreground, although in reality, it's probably just a small group of trees and a thoughtfully placed camera.

Thes two for me.

Fishermen were testing their skills and luck in the early hours of the day in Izmir, Pasaport.

Dusk and dawn are often fruitful times to fish.
The bird adds a touch of quirkiness.

No, I did not this time as I was pushed for time. I saw a local lady with a shopping basket full to overflowing. I have in the past collected them.
