Thanks everyone for submitting in last week's theme. This week's theme is "distance". Show us a photo that shows the concept of distance!
On a long distance bus ride to Arequipa/Peru.

7 meters - that's the distance you should stay away from the mountain gorillas in Uganda. In fact they did not keep the distance and they decided to sit only 1-2 meters away from us. An incredible experience I never will forget.

The lines seem to intersect at infinity.

Not sure if this counts - but was a lot of fun trying to take. A two minute exposure on a Star Adventurer was supposed to be a piece of cake. Well, there is that issue with the vibration reduction in the 180-600. Are we in focus? Where is Polaris again? Why do the stars look like dumbells? (The breeze.)
Well, good enough before I get frustrated and mount the rig to a block of concrete! Regardless, taking photos of birds is more fun.

Star Adventurer 2i pointed somewhere near Polaris- I think.
(I'm pretty sure the 4 streaks extending from the center of the nebula to the top right of the photo are starlink satellites. The streaks appear in 1/3 the photos in various locations.)
Looking across San Francisco Bay one foggy sunset.

I called this one "Into The Distance", so well there you go :)
On our way to Langedrag Naturpark in the Buskerud province (Norway) I was sitting in the passenger seat toying with my camera and slow shutter speeds. Shot at a wide angle to get a great feel of the distance. Handheld, so nothing sharp however luckily the road was straight for quite a distance - something that doesn't happen often in Norway! ;-)
I call this photo "Close". Serbian aerobatic team Zvezde (Stars). They fly the Soko G-2 Galeb (Seagull). IAS Maribor, Slovenia, 15.6.2008.
