[Closed] Photo Theme Challenge #6: The Sun [Deadline: Wednesday, July 19]

More fun with ICM ... on the Willamette River.

Originally I was waiting at this location for a whole bunch of hot air balloons to launch. Sadly, it was too windy for them to take off that day. I pivoted and decided to wait for the sunset instead. I'm glad I did.

Welcome, @w_lathrop! Those are beautiful photos.

On the road...

Diamond Beach, Iceland. I feel like any pictures from Iceland is a bit cheating. But, this one inspired my not-often-used creativity to try and capture the reflection of the sun through this small piece of ice.

I know that area all too well – I visit there regularly. Handsome shot ! Danny (Belgium)

(It's still wednesday here in the Netherlands ;-))

Italian Flare

Looking out from our holiday home in the province of La Spezia, Italy, the sun was just peeking below the clouds at the end of the day giving us a nice sunset and that typical Italian good-life feeling!

Thank you Danny. 

We need to enjoy this area while we can. I think it won't be long before most of the trees will fall down. I'm also from Belgium by the way.
