A Moment in Photographic History:
Happy birthday to Oscar Barnack who was born November 1, 1879. Barnack designed the first commercially available 35mm camera. Although he developed the prototype of the Leica camera in 1913, two years after joining the Leitz optical company, further development of the camera was stopped by World War One. The Leica (short for Leitz camera) was an immediate hit when introduced at the 1925 Leipzig, Germany Spring Fair.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
Through the use of strong composition and subject elimination, I attempt to create images that are pleasing to the eye but also have an element of mystery—to challenge the viewer to look a little closer.

Not just a beautiful shot but excellent composition too. Love the processing in this.
stunning landscape.. shot from a height it feels. well composed as well.
Exceptional image. I love your post-processing on the color!

…huge sense of freedom coming from this one… (liked the result with the processing…it enhanced that feeling)
i agree with all the above comments! beautiful shot Michael!
Man that looks cool! I just saw “Into the Wild” yesterday and this could be a still from that movie. Very nice!
