1. Tranquility Unbound

has to be a photo of Haystack at Cannon Beach, Oregon. Right?

Love that beach and very much miss that place.

27. Yes

There is a park just north of Cannon Beach where I took the pic...

[rosesaylavee]

29. And I know that park...

it's a beautiful place and you captured it wonderfully.

5. I'm not sure why you're having problems seeing it.

It's fine on my screen, and I refreshed my cache just to make sure. Not sure why you're having problems seeing some of the entires (here and in round 2). Anyone else having problems?

6. One pic in each 3 threads is not showing up.

Very odd. :shrug:

He posted a photo of the view from his house in Switzerland some time ago and IIRC it looked a lot like that.

44. Nothing says calm like a line going straight across the middle of the composition.

therefore, Calm at sunset has my vote. Definitely the most fitting for the theme. All of the photos are beautiful, however.
