Super photos. Been to 7 and 11!
Some smashing good shots as usual. I am impressed with the color quality of several of them. The weird one, number 15, could be one of the Hermes shots. Flames and beakers do remind us of mad chemists. Nice work, all of you.
Yes, these are beautiful! I love this theme!
Wow, these photo's are really beautiful.
Question on 14, when all is revealed -- are those birds sitting along that branch?

You can zoom in on it. They are not birds, they look like bunches of twigs and leaves.

Could be parasitic growths, a few trees round here have such - not mistletoe, smaller, tight clumps with totally different leaves to host tree.

I think that is exactly what they are!

I zoomed, and then they looked like bats. I don't think there's enough zoom in the world for my eyes, have to get new glasses.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Congratulations to hermes2015 on winning this edition of the photo challenge with his "Fire" themed photo #15! Thank you to all who voted, and another round of thanks to those who submitted entries (especially Guardian85, whose sea/landscapes are splendidly evocative; I hope you will continue to be one of the usual suspects in these challenges). :)
Thanks for hosting Recusant.
It was nice to not take part fora change so I just had to vote :)
Well done Heremes!!!
Congrats, Hermes! :clapping: And to everyone else too, good theme, good photos. :smilenod:
Yes, well done, Hermes!
Be interested to see your subject choice.
Thank you everyone. Here is some background information on the photos:
3. Aether (Houghton, Johannesburg)
7. Air (Table Mountain, Cape Town)
11. Earth (Cape Town)
15. Fire (my kitchen)
19. Water (Le Victoria Beachcomber Resort, Mauritius)
All were taken with a Nikon D600.
5 and 17 are pictures of the lake behind the school where I got my wheel loader licence this spring. Took those pictures just as the ice was melting off the lake.
Picture nr 9 is this place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjeungskj%C3%A6r_Lighthouse. Taken at about 15:00 in early December.
13 is the Andenes Lighthouse (in my original hometown)under the midnight sun. Fun fact: I used to give guided tours of the tower when I worked for tourist information.
