I love colorful travel shots, and this one by flicts is fabulous. Taken in Bergama, Turkey, I appreciate the quiet feel of the street. Makes me feel like the photo was taken around lunchtime, when no one is really out and about, the tractor is idle and people are more concerned with enjoying a moment of repose from the rest of the busy day.

This has to be one of the most beautiful shots of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge that I’ve ever seen, and that includes the one in the opening credits of Full House. Nice going, jrodmanjr!

Let’s face it. Ireland has a lot of grass. But who knew the entire Shannon runway was grass?
RuthannOC captured this head-on shot of a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 at Ireland’s second largest airport. Her timing gives a unique look at the thick vertical stabilizer and the landing lights that were just turned on prior to taking off. (Wouldn’t that make them ‘takeoff lights’?)
Oh, and of course I was just kidding about the grass runway. But it sure would make for smooth landings, wouldn’t it?

There’s a novel by American author James Still titled River of Earth. This photo by miggiddymatt reminds me of Still’s writing.
Still, who died a few years ago when he was well into his 90s, was an adventurer and traveler who settled in the mountains near Hindman, Kentucky, a tiny town in the southeastern part of the state. He wrote about the Appalachians with an ear that perfectly captured the cadence of place.
Even though this photo is of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, the colors and ripples evoke a memory of a day I drove to the end of a road near Natural Bridge State Park to overlook such wonder. When I saw the view, I thought that the earth did indeed look like a river that went on and on forever.

This year, I was fortunate enough to enjoy autumn in two places, earlier, in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and a little later, in Michigan. While both areas have had the same weather recently, fall colors begin to pop earlier out east, so the last few weeks have been fantastic around Boston. Now, home in Ann Arbor, we’ve just about reached our peak.
