Thanks. When I worked on recreational flight sims back in the mid 90's, as we couldn't draw very many polygons with our (at the time, class leading) software renderer, we used to gradually fade the vertices of the polygons towards a fog colour as they were drawn further from the camera position, a technique we called "depth fade", a name I still use in my head for the effect you describe here. It was much the same effect and something games still do today, although they can draw a lot further into the distance than we could back then (or seemingly the moors could on the day I took these).

Fascinating locale and superb atmosphere.
Thank you for your dedication to the craft of photography. You are blessed by timeless scenery. -
Yes, a heavy load. It was actually a trike.
-
I guess you found source of photography there, several great shots from same location.
-
Great scene, I'd visit this location frequently, it seems to allow great shots in different conditions.
-
Cheating who?
You're not selling it as editorial.
Do what makes you happy, it's a hobby.
The last is lovely, although I'd crop top and bottom. -
Some beautiful sunsets and sunrises at the moment and this is another.
-
Nice warm light is working well with this scene. Seems like it's open to winds, trees are growing in one direction.
-
Great colour combination here. And great moment with few people on platform and trains full.
-
Huh, I'd expect low down in up north but it seems possible to have it in Italy as well... My consolation is that here we are moving toward spring and light, day is 90 minutes longer than it was month ago.

It's taken during overture when music built up and singer waited for his turn to let out first scream :D
-
I'm pretty sure that such ice formations convey some message, but so far I haven't been able to decrypt it...
-
FIrst is excellent, looks like painting.
Second is also great, but (without knowing what's outside frame) I'd gone bit wider to get merging foreground and background hill into frame.Last is another excellent shot, only nitpick is that maybe bit more space between fence and tree would have been better.

Tomorrow, Monday 27 January, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, is International Holocaust Memorial Day.
Translation of the inscription:
Never forget
This is where the house of the Gestapo stood. It was hell for those who believed in Austria. For many of them it was the antechamber of death. It has fallen into ruins like the Thousand Year Reich. But Austria has risen again and with it our dead, the immortal victims.

This is the one that speaks to me.

It's quite near the coast of Morecambe Bay, so I guess the wind funnels up from the Irish Sea

When, I open a newspaper of late, it seems the lesson is fast being forgotten sadly.
