      ... last July (2020), just arrived in Wimereux on the northern coast of France. The limestone cliffs of England's steep coast can be seen in the background

          I knew it is a small distance, but was also so amazed. Btw, behind the ship, under the setting sun is America (not to be seen πŸ˜„ )

            Great topic Majid and I love your pictures and art work, thanks for sharing. I am very lucky that I live right next to the Appalachian Mountains in Western North Carolina. I can be on a trial/hike in 30-45 minutes. Here is one of my favorite spots that I've been to all of my life, Stone Mountain NC. Such a wonderful place to enjoy nature. Here's a pic of a tree on the summit.

              As M.L. King said: People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other....
              Thank you all for your beautiful images shared. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘ So now we have Box's spectacular image from Sydney (Australia),( I think this is the most challenging for me as my medium is watercolor), Pbacot's image from beautiful Colorado (USA),beautiful David_h's photo from Utah (USA), HornOxx's tranquil beauty from France, Summit tree by "Glen at home", that is really amaaaazing (USA again) (great place to live then...) . Oh mates this is great....I will start and share the result. I hope be lucky enough to have images from all around the globe. And this is amazing that they are (mainly) taken by you yourself. this means a lot to me.
              Peace and love.

                Hello Majid, I love your drawings, they are very sensitive and professionals. Here is a pic from Dieppe, Normandie, France.

                  ... when Box spoke of the "foredeck of his boat", at first I was so envious πŸ˜‰ The quality of all these picture posts though quickly comforted me then πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„ A really nice theme contribution idea Majid

                        After a while, that was away from painting, last night prepared some supply to kindle the job... Will share results in intervals.

                          To be honest the most challenging one till now is the Cydney rainbow scene.. latest tries are somehow getting somewhere... I hope soon could share an acceptable result.

                            Are you looking for 'classic' beautiful scenes? I have walked the hills in decidedly dodgy weather and a mountain has a huge fascination when the weather turns, for me at least.

                              Dear Mike,
                              My vision is to launch an online exhibition of all the paintings. I am not seeking nor "conventional" neither "classical" beauty... even am not in search of famous images from known photographers. This would be something that makes sense for us all at the end, such as these lovely images that have been shared till now. Photos that have been taken by us as amateur artists but makes sense for us. This won't be a formal exhibition at the end... So if you have an image that has a "meaning" for you, it'd be appreciated if share it with us.

                                Happy Nowruz mates. Thank you all for your warm replies, but as there were not enough images I asked some photographers for permission to paint over their works, on Instagram and most of them accepted kindly. Here I give up the topic but guess it might be still alive; a place to share the moments we loved the most or makes sense to us. Here are two images from where I live and a nearby park (Chitgar park).

                                  Hi Majid, if you are going down that path I suggest you research JMW Turner, and his "Philosophy of the sublime" I think it would be of some value to you πŸ˜‰
