I've assigned a photo project to myself this year. I'm photographing this scene at sunrise on the day of each turn of the astronomical season. This is from this years Summer Solstice. I also have one from the Spring Equinox as well (click the link). Yeah its cliche but fun nonetheless. Thanks for looking.

Nikon D200, 12-24mm @ 24mm, 3-stop GND, cropped to panoramic format

Yeah, I dig this for sure! Great spot for a four season set up! Looking forward to the next one!

I like the idea-couldn't you have picked a better vantage point :wink: ? All kidding aside, my only very minor nit is the darker blue section in the URHC-were you using a polarizer? If you could blend that section in a little more gradually or take down the saturation just a bit, I would like even more! Great otherwise

Those greens and blues are amazing... that's what summer is all about! The sunlit tree in the foreground is really great touch too.
