Suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking.

If the first two pictures are from the Northern Scotland, than you are excused for showing the curved horizon. As everybody knows, the closer to the North Pole you are, the more curved horizon appears (right, Dave?) Otherwise, check for a pincushion distortion. ;)

I should have known better, using a title like "horizons" is just begging for scrutiny.  :)

#3 was indeed the only image that had been straightened: good eye! Thanks, Slobodan.

Don't listen to Slobodan. He's one of them "flat earthers."

Everybody nose the earth is round these days.   ::)

9409 is the most interesting to me because of the rain falling. The rain effectively ties the huge sky into the earth and is very dynamic for its size. I also like the theme aspect of these three featuring the same ratio of land/sky with the smallest elements being man-made. I would enjoy seeing other man-made elements in this series.

I like #3 very much, must be the clouds and the rain.

All three photos are very nice with these luminescent cloud formations. My favorite is #3 but #2 is not far behind. I wasn't too bothered by the round earthers's version.

Thanks for your insights, Lou. Helpful. I have a few artifacts here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/59795859@N00/sets/72157626043140061/), though they are bigger than in this thread.

Thanks, Dwayne, Paulo and Francois.
