On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.
So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.
You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.
For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.
Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!
Today, pictures from valued commenter raven.
These are from our quick trip to Edisto Island last week. I didn’t take a computer with an SD slot so I had to wait to submit,

Me in my new fishing shirt with gaiter!
Bitchin’! I’ve not done saltwater fishing (yet, it’s in the plans), so I don’t have that rig, but I do have something similar for fishing the creeks and streams of the Rockies, before I moved out of Colorado. Where you’ve got the hood, I’ve got a Tilley hat, light green gaiter, and SPF 75 long sleeve shirt to keep the sun and bugs off. As a kid, I spent 3 months living in Saudi Arabia and learned from the locals how keeping the sun off you, even if the clothes felt hot, was a better choice in the hot sun. And, truth be told, the sun in low-moisture, thin-air Colorado at 5,000+ feet is brutal, even more so when you get higher.

Beautiful, all of them! Thank you so much Raven.
Thank you so much raven, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email
Baud
Fixed.
eclare
Great pictures, thanks for sending!
raven
@Baud: I forgot I sent that!
Mary G
@Baud: That’s the same thing I thought. Scary!
I love the colors in the last one of the shrimp boat.
raven
@Mary G: My guide had a neck gaiter that he just pulled off, dunked in his cooler water and put it back on. It was about 105 heat index so that is a nice way to stay cool. Mine is built in so I had to just pour bottled water on it.
Baud
@raven: Is that it’s purpose? To keep you cool?
raven
@Baud: Yea and to protect you from glare, the sun is brutal on the water.
OzarkHillbilly
Nice, especially that last one.

I’m waiting at the airport in Munich. Unfortunately this holiday is ending. After I get home I suppose I’ll submit some photos from Bavaria, which was wonderful.

Who is that masked man?
Why it’s the Lone Angler!
p.a.
Nice stuff. The Criminal? or Fisherman? photo is incomplete however without the inclusion of polarized fishing glasses for a real incognito effect. ?
raven
@p.a.: Better?

I’ve always thought shrimp boats to be beautiful. Something about them appeals to me.
raven
@Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes: That boat is part of the company where I chartered the trip.
p.a.
@raven: oh yeah.
Waratah
Raven the sunsets are very vivid did you enhance them? I love rainbows.
Raven
@Waratah: nope

Good morning, all.
Some great photos, Raven. Thanks!
bystander
Raven, great pics, but Law and Order: SVU wants their shirt back.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Raven: So you’re using jpg out of the camera? If so, the camera is enhancing it.
rikyrah
Thanks for the pictures ?
Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes
@raven:
Nice!
OzarkHillbilly
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Nope. Sometimes nature needs no enhancement.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@OzarkHillbilly: You missed my point, unless you’re converting RAW to jpg, the software in the camera is enhancing the image.
Schlemazel
I do love sunrise and set over the water, you captured that beautifully

Nice pictures!
Immanentize
Antifa Raven! I wish I was there for the fish fry. Great sunsets. Thanks.
raven
@Immanentize: I actually smoked most of it.
Amir Khalid
@Immanentize:
It’s good to see you here today.
Gin & Tonic
@raven: Smoke ’em if you got ’em.
MomSense
I like all the photos but I especially like the photo of the fishing boat. I haven’t sailed in years but I remember enough to be completely in awe of the people who manage all those lines and equipment.
Elizabelle
Great photos. I see a face, kinda, in the fishing boat photo.
And raven does look all serial killery. Smoked fish. Yum.
raven
@Elizabelle: look at # 12
WaterGirl
@raven: Yes, much better! I much prefer happy Raven to serial-killer Raven. :-)
