Topic Summary
Posted by kerouac2 on May 15, 2012, 9:07pm
We have lots of amazing subjects in the image bank, but I came across a subject that we have not covered officially, so I think we should give it a try.

This exterior link is what inspired me: [spoiler=Spoiler]sunbeams[/spoiler]

Maybe we can't find photos as amazing as some of them, but we can certainly try our damnedest. To start, here is an old photo from my Pierrefonds report:

Here's another one, but still not as well defined as I would like.

Nice topic and beautiful photos.

The crepuscular (had to look that one up!) sunbeams from the link are indeed stunning.

Here's a repeat from my American Southwest thread.

Great idea Kerouac , the sun shining through the trees creates a setting perfect for Merlin. Love the slot canon photo NYCgirl ... one day I hope to travel to Arizona and the SW. Must now search out your SW thread.

Thanks! I'm going back next month!

Magic, K2.

My you captured those beams brilliantly Kerouac!

Nycgirl - that is a totally fabulous photo. Talk about being at the right place at the right time!
Lugg - those are beautiful peaceful photos - I can almost hear Bing Crosby crooning to Grace Kelly;D

Those beams should never have existed in the first place. A big construction truck had just driven through the Tuileries and raised huge clouds of dust!

I'd forgotten about this thread. These are oldies of mine from the Clouds thread. (Kimby-check out yr #455, p.16 there)

Beautiful! Gotta love that moss ;D
Posted by tod2 on Oct 12, 2012, 11:32am
My word Bixa, that is a stunning photo! I absolutely love it ;D
When did you get so lucky and be there at the precise moment the sun blinked through the moss?
Posted by bixaorellana on Oct 12, 2012, 3:50pm
Thanks, Htmb!

Thank you, Tod. I took tons of pics of mossed trees when I was home. The moss is so dense that it was easy to move around & get the sun to be all artful for me.
Posted by mossie on Oct 12, 2012, 6:18pm
That mossy photo is superb. Almost looks painted.
Posted by kimby on Oct 12, 2012, 6:29pm
Super shot, bixa!

K2, if sunset was merged with evening sky, will this thread be combined with "light", which has a lot of nice sunbeam images?

Cue up the "Out of Africa" theme music.
