Do you know the purpose of the safety pin hanging from a string on the end of the flute?

You certainly have the movement down for these kind of shots.

This is great, I clicked on your full sized image. I'm sure it still doesn't do the image justice, I wish there was a better way of veiwing these.

Do they really move these in and out? Looks like a tough job if they do.

I think this is my favorite of your 3 new ones. I am growing very fond of minimalist art. I think this is simple, elegant and lovely.

I really love this. I always like tree trunks but you have made them especially beautiful with the pinhole.

Comment by CNovack:
Absolutely stuning! Love the composition of the path of the water as it flows into the lake. My eye also flows from the flowing water path to the earthen path to the right. The fence that spans from the land to the lake also adds visual interest. Love how there are the two lone trees on the left to balance out the heavy tree lined path on the right. And right in the middle is the splendor of the mountain range that rises over the lake. Beautiful colors as well! I think that this is the same location as Scotto's photo Buttermere yes? Loved the scenery in the photo that I composed a poem years ago that I believe would fit your photo quite nicely as well.

Gaze upon my valleys and lakes
and in you shall awake
the desire to roam
in the fields below.
Gather your walking
stick, abandon
your shoes and let
the land caress your
bare sole.

I was trying to find the word to describe it - ephemeral?
