Absolute best trip photo I have ever taken? Ha. It's not even in focus, but it is one of the most meaningful images I take away from last summer's trip. Our final morning. Comfort and calm following the most harrowing night we have ever experienced on any trip.

We caught a bunch of walleye together this day and the rest of our crew was still out fishing when we went back to camp to start dinner and a fire and I snapped this shot.

Amazon had a crazy good deal on it, hard to pass up!
In reality, I accidentally posted this upside down and didn't realize it because the water looks more like the sky than the sky does!

A request (hope this isn't out of line).

In the rules it states:

"- Please describe in the message the location of the photo.

P20151001"

About 1/3 of the photos here, either have no text at all, or the text says absolutely nothing about the location. When I see all these beautiful photos, I would really like to know where they’re located. If you could say where the photo was taken, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Not out of line at all. It isn't enforced because in the end it is about the photos and i know people never read past the first two lines of the initial post, but darn it folks please let us know the location.
