This is a wonderful shot. The colors are amazing and the wide angle lens gives this a 3 D "feel". This is way too good to be stock! Great shooting.

Beautiful shot and processing!
May I ask if you used a tripod or handheld with camera set to auto-bracketing?

Aww it's understandable, no need to apologise. I'm becoming a bit of a mute too work is keeping me busy, and I like the spend my time at home with the Mister and now on DA 24-7 lol.
When do you start your Europe trip?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for your understanding Sara. First I'm driving down to Washington DC with my mother this coming Monday. Amongst other things, there's a collection of 300+ National Geographic magazines that I catalogued (and neatly boxed) when I was there last in December, some dating back to the 1930's, that she wanted to give away to charity... Needless to say, I was quick wave my finger! 
Hopefully this time around I can sell the whole collection on craigslist for something like $300 which she's willing to let me pocket entirely for all the trouble I went through, which would be a nice bonus for my summer trip. I had tried to advertise them when I was in DC last, but by the time I was done cataloguing the magazines, it was almost too late, and I didn't want to advertise them on craigslist from Montreal in fear that some strange person would show up at my mother's door without me being present 
Otherwise, I plan on going to the Canadian embassy if possible on July 1 to celebrate Canada Day, then we're flying to the UK on July 4. We'll be spending the whole time together in Ireland where she entrusted me to plan all the stops and hotels. It might actually surprise you to know I took a lesson from my trip to Cape Breton to heart... in that I decided to circle the island in a counter-clockwise fashion so that we don't drive in the lane closest to the edge of the coast. You might think "Wait a minute, you should be going in the opposite direction then!", but in Ireland they drive on the left side of the road
After all that, I plan on flying to France alone. First to spend a couple days in Paris, where I can hopefully meet up with some old high school friends, then taking a train to a town called Nantes, and renting a car to drive around Brittany to visit even more Celtic landmarks like the Carnac ruins. Then after that, I decided to throw myself another curve ball and visit the island of Guernsey for a couple days... I honestly don't know how I exactly I cooked that up, except maybe that I am drawn to "smaller" islands as I was absolutely enamoured with another "smaller" island closer to home like PEI

wow, sounds like you have it all planned out!
I can honestly say that I'm jealous, lol, but I do get a 3 day vacation to Cape Breton in 2 weeks for a wedding so that will be nice.
We'll miss you around these internet parts that's for sure, but I'm really excited to see the trip photos, I'm sure that are going to be absolutely beautiful!!
And that's a lot of National Geographic! I use to love to look at the photos, I guess I would still love too, haha.

Take all the pictures you can in Cape Breton. I feel kind of guilty that you are jealous of the places I'm going to in my summer trip, but I made a conscious decision to drive to the Maritime provinces a couple years ago, instead of more "exotic" places around the world, because there's so much unspoiled natural beauty in our very own country. I personally think that's something we as Canadians can all appreciate.
I'm not crazy about the current politics in Quebec... so much adversity against English influence. I was in Montreal's Old Port just yesterday entertaining a guest from Washington DC, and there were construction signs indicating "Détour Piétons" with absolutely no attempt at translation into English (meaning "Pedestrian Detour") when the city of Montreal is known for being bilingual... so signs like these piss me off.

don't feel guilty, I know we have so much beauty right here too, I'm just spoiled and lived in it all my life.

How do you take such amazing pictures? I'm jealous!

I've noticed that a lot of equine enthusiasts like my pictures from the Maritime provinces. Not quite sure why, but I'm not complaining

Thanks for deeming it worthy enough of a desktop wallpaper

Great shot. I just love the vivid colours. It's very inspirational.
It is sad to see someone else claims this piece is his. I've reported him for accusing someone else for stealing artwork, so hopefully dA will do something about this guy.

Thank you very much Jadelyne. I'm relieved to see dA dealt with this issue swiftly as his account no longer exists. Even more surprised this picture made the front page of sxc.hu, another stock site I post my images on.

I see you're already been warned by this guy stole your art

You can get him reported. Please do, cause he's got some issues.

Well I just logged on and found out my picture was ripped off.
Would not have realized it if there were people like you who cared about how my stock was being used.
Stock that I like to share with other people, but it hurts to see someone else claim it as his own, when I remember the scenery crystal clear in my mind.
Thank you for pointing this out.

Not a fan of HDR taken to the extreme, but am glad you didn't went all crazy with the sliders.
Wonderful photo!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much Guillermo, my sentiments exactly. Love HDR, but most often I use it in attempts to recreate what I actually saw, as opposed to an almost surrealistically painted scene.
Not that I have any problem with HDR taken to the extreme, but I am basically offering my pictures for people to use as stock. Up to them to add a surreal touch if they want...

Your welcome! (you know the only reason I knew that is because I live on the tx/la border and we have lots of cajuns here)
I can only say a few other things but I have some great cajun recipes!

Meanwhile, there were other French Colonists scattered across the Maritime provinces of Canada (ie New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island), Acadians who lived outside the province of Quebec who weren't exactly granted the same liberties... French colonists that were persecuted by the British Crown and forced to migrate elsewhere... some fled to Quebec, some tried going back to France (or died trying with very little means to book an overcrowded / disease-ridden boat across the Atlantic), and others went down to Louisiana either when it still was a French colony or shortly after the Americans purchased it from the French in 1803. Through the generations and various cultural injections, these Acadians became known as Cajuns

Thank you! I have learned some of the Acadians (Cajuns) history because almost everyone in my neighborhood is cajun or married to one.. and my old mans granmother and granfather are cajun (which is where I learned some of the language and got most of the recipes from). Ive never heard it explained in such detail so I thank you for that, I love to learn things about different cultures, as mine is a little different as well. (If you ever wanted to know I could note you) (=
Btw, I never mind learning new things. Always feel free to teach.. I am always willing to learn (=
