You captured the sky’s beautiful color gradient so perfectly that the painter and the entire scene seem to become part of the painting itself.

Thank you !

Lago Vannino, Val Formazza, Italia.

Lake Vannino is a lake located in the municipality of Formazza , in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola .

The lake is of natural origin and was raised by a dam built between 1917 and 1921. The dam is 120 metres long and 23 metres high. It has a maximum capacity of 9,540,000 m 3 of water. It feeds the hydroelectric power station of Ponte , also channelling the waters of Lake Sruer (or Obersee) and Lake Busin Inferiore .

The lake is located at an altitude of 2177 m, in the upper Formazza Valley , and is dominated by the Vannino Towers . The Eugenio Margaroli Refuge is located near the lake . The lake collects the waters that flow from the overlying Sruer Lake and its emissary, the Vannino torrent, flows into the Toce at Valdo .

Andrea,
You live in a beautiful area, and have the eye to capture that beauty. Thanks for sharing. I love the color of the water.

Colorful Quiet Coastal Town

I ran across the Chev S-10 Blazer "Xtreme Model" that was manufactured between 2001 and 2005. After walking to the other side of the street for a better view, I came across the owner. He told me he has an match tear-drop trailer he tows with it. The Spiderweb trim is material he bought from JoAnne's Fabric and if he gets tired of it he'll just peel it off.

Get outta here!

A friend in greed — what every overfed lorikeet needs.

The photographic challenge was to get two birds' eyes in focus. Stopping the aperture down to f/6.3 helped (as did the R5m2's 30 frames/second with pre-continuous capture).

Wow!!! You nailed the technical challenge, but the real stars of the show are the colors! Job very well done!

The first photograph is reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s. The lighting, tones, and balanced framing fit the mood and the locale. Nicely done.

The Foric Pass and the Zube Alpine Pasture. Valsesia, Italia.​

The Foric Pass, at 2,432 m , takes its name from the stream of the same name that flows towards the Pianmisura Alps (Piccola and Grande). From the Foric Pass, you can enjoy a splendid view of the Val d'Olen, the Monterosa massif, and part of the Valle d'Otro. Not far away, about 15 minutes away, is a plateau with the Zube Alp at 2,515 m. Continuing, climbing a little further, you reach the Zube Pass at 2,874 m, which allows passage towards the Gressoney Valley and offers a majestic panorama of the Aosta Valley Alps.

I captured the Moon with my FD 800mm f/5.6, so I pulled out my solar filter from my 4-1/2" Reflector telescope at it fit. Gaffers tape to hold it in place, and...voilà. (pardon my French) Shot at f/11 - 800mm.

Thx for remotely implanting an earworm with an image.

(My brain connected with "Astronomy" by Blue Oyster Cult, with the line "astronomy - a star")

*** R System Images - July *** Thread Closed…

Another terrific collection of inspirational R System images this month - posted by people from all around the world and viewed by people from all around the world. We’ve really enjoyed looking at them (though we can’t always comment on each and every image due to ‘life stuff’). A HUGE ‘thank you’ to all of the contributors and commentators - your time and talents are appreciated!

You can continue to post any comments here, but the August thread is now open for all new images (including any additional July material).
