__ 5 Amazing Photos __

This far shot photo is a stunning vista of spraying geysers at a hot spring in the Black Desert, Nevada. The transparentness of this photo rendered the twilight scene with incredible detail and depth of field. Overall, this photo is amazing, it creates a mysterious appearance of a hot spring with a three dimensional look. This beautiful image of a abandoned wind vane is shot from a lower angle.In my opinion, this deteriorated environment photo is sort of vintage style.The background which is a golden sunset brings out a dusty, and old-fasion appearance. .

This photo is an area filled with abandoned grain of buildings. I am particularly drawn to this place. The majestic of these structures and thuderclouds above the sky emphasize the age of these ruins is difficult to resist.

This photo is a medium low shot of the Memorial Bridge. The character of this landscape is conveyed, in part, by tonality. Rosy-hued sunsets, for instance, suggest an inviting world of warmth and intimacy. In my opinion the bridge seemed perfectly serene, quiet, almost remorseful, which made a peaceful appearance. This photo is a lower angle shot of the wilderness. The fix of warm orange and cold light blue perfectly brings out an outstanding appearance. I am very amazed by this extrem peaceful appearance and is unble to resist the details, for example; the yellowish and orange cloud, black forest and cold blue stream.
