I just got back from Iceland, a trip of a lifetime with vistas too gorgeous to describe with words. So I had to see if my eyes (wet macular degeneration—only one eye even works halfway) would allow me to take photos.
I can report that my long absence from my camera was too long. I can still do some of it. I will post photos from the trip when I have sorted them. It was a life-changing experience to be there because in many ways, it brought visual life back to me.

Are you considering second entries?

We have great entries, but there's only 7 of them!

Is there any way to post a link via Dropbox, BlueSky or Lightroom? I can’t seem to get these or anything to work. Thank you.

I copied my link from Imgur - am I supposed to be able to see the image in DU Preview? All I see is my link info, not the photo:
