Hi guys! This is a special Daily Nature Fix as I'm celebrating the benchmark of breaking 1,000 followers! I appreciate each and every one of you. Seriously. Author rewards are great and all... but I don't know if I'd still stay as motivated to continue the blog if no one read them. It's been awesome seeing people react to the Daily Nature Fix and enjoy works of nature. More than anything, it's awesome to see so many people appreciate the natural world enough to want to see more of it every day!
Now then, here are a few photos from the past year of posts that got the most reactions and seemed to be the most liked. Enjoy them all being in one place!
^^^This is one of my all time favorite photos. The silhouette of a raptor that just plucked a fish out of Firehole River in Yellowstone National Park. This was a lucky shot, if there ever was one. It was snapped by Kylene while she was turning and pointing the camera straight into the sun.
^^^This photo received a lot of comments when I posted it. It is an abandoned house in western Iceland. The history of the homestead is hard to find as it's all in Icelandic but it apparently has ties to "the last sorcerer of Iceland". Either way, it looked awesome in the winter snow.
^^^Here is the Dark Hedges of Northern Ireland. The steemit community really seemed to love seeing these beech trees that are older than America lining the road. It also helps that it was a filming location of Game of Thrones!
^^^Speaking of Game of Thones, this photo was well received by the community! It was one of wedding photos from July. It was taken in the cave known as Grjótagjá of northern Iceland. The blue waters inside the cave are actually a hot spring. This place was used for Jon Snow and Ygritte's stinky wildling sex scene.
^^^One of the most spectacular sights I've seen in my day. This is a panoramic taken on the mountainside surrounding Grand Prismatic Hot Spring in Yellowstone National Park. Nature's work at it's very best.
^^^This was a photo taken durning one of my favorite animal encounters. A pod of around 3 humpback whales started breeching and jumping all over the place while we were on the waters outside of Juneau, Alaska. It was absolutely incredible to see animals the size of a bus fly through the air and splash around. I'll never forget that.
^^^Here is another favorite among our great community. It is one of the famous Sailing Rocks of Death Valley National Park. The rocks that seeming have trails in the soil from their mysterious movement. The cause was unknown until just the past few years when it was discovered that the dry lake bed which they are found does sometimes fill with an inch or two of rainwater, which freezes overnight in the winter, then the ice cracks apart in the morning sun, which the wind then blows and causes the big sheets of ice to bang into the rocks and push them... sometimes up to 40 feet in one shot. It seriously has to be a perfect storm to have this all occur, but the end results are so incredible looking.
^^^A shot from inside the awesome sandstone slot canyon known as "Antelope Canyon" in northern Arizona. It should certainly be noted that this photo is completely unedited. The colors and brilliance are what it actually looked like in person.
Well... I could seriously go on all night posting these. lol I hope you enjoyed this look back at some of my best images. Do you have a favorite place or photo that I may have missed?? We can keep the photo train going in the comments section!
