Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. - Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else. - Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation. - Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun. |

The distant sun rising above the urban landscape. This shot taken with my phone from the supermarket car park at 6.30 this morning on our early shopping expedition to avoid the crowds and possible viral infection. i.ibb.co/RP70623/6-30am.jpgDennis |

Storm clouds (and a seat, trees and lake) from a distance - the sun was still shining where I was but not for long ...  Tony |

Not what I had in mind for this, but we're shuttered inside for the next few days. In the distance is the skyline of Portland's South Waterfront district ... preceded by the leading edge of smoke from the wildfires raging in the West. This is from two days ago and the last time we were able to see any sky. Hopefully by next Mon or Tues we'll be able to see across the parking lot again.  Thanks for the theme Sepiana ... if this one rolls around again I'll come up with something better! |

This qualifies as "from a distance" on a couple of counts. Photographed on Wednesday, September 9 near Police Outpost Lake in SW Alberta. In the lower right is Chief Mountain, Montana USA: from one country to another. The stars are part of the Milky Way Galaxy: from one solar system to many others. This is a 2-shot vertorama. Both photos were shot at ISO 1,000, 6 seconds and f2. Wiki says: The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with an estimated visible diameter between 170,000 and 200,000 light-years. It is estimated to contain 100–400 billion stars and at least that number of planets. The dark matter halo around the Milky Way may span as much as 2 million light years.

A 9/11 Tribute from Mt. Mitchell in Atlantic Highlands, NJ. At 266 feet, this overlook in Atlantic Highlands sits on the highest natural elevation on the Atlantic seaboard (excluding islands) from Maine to the Yucatan. Monmouth County's 9/11 Memorial is a tribute to 147 men and women who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001-- men and women born, raised, or residing at the time in Monmouth County.  |

It's not a very 'distant' distance, but relatively the crows are in the distance.  |

One more - from an early walk with the dog around the lake - always impressed with how good phones are getting at taking pictures as long as you don't mind having everything in focus!  Tony |

Dennis Dennis, the kind of image that makes one pause and reflect -- the sun always rises to brighten up our spirits. I really like how you captured it against the emptiness of the urban landscape. Signs of our times! |
