•  Info The air and the light in the old Rixö quarry is sometimes unbeleivable. There are no big cities or industries nearby and the light reflects off the fjord beside it. Most of the time I have to desaturate photos I take there a bit, or people would think I was heavy on the post-processing. The deposite below the cliff is mostly mud slush, hence very soft and few details. All by me. -- w.carter-Talk 08:38, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

• Sidenote: I have been thinking about nominating this for a while now, and when I had the chance it fell on top of the Atacama desert and a pyramid(withdrawn)! Pure coincidence and my little place is nowhere near as interesting as those but I'll go ahead with my nom anyway. --w.carter-Talk 09:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Support - I quite like this composition and image and vote to support, but what accounts for the subtle variations in blues in the sky? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:32, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

• Those are different stages of clouds being formed. They are so thin that they are transparent and just barely visible. There is a lot of cool cloud activity here because of all the moist air by the sea. You can sit and watch clouds being formed from nothing or huge clouds dissolving. As you can see in some of my other pics there are also unusual or interesting clouds in some of them. In this case a huge cloud bank was forming behind me and the sun shone through a small opening in it which accounts for the interesting light. w.carter-Talk 07:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks for the explanation. That's very interesting. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:40, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
