Photography has the power to lighten up our daily lives, and what a wonderful way of kick-starting our routines by diving into some beautiful images in the comfort of our seats!
Here is our weekly wrap-up – where you'll find finely curated photos from the general chit-chat blended with some creative shots from Tersha's 628th challenge on Use Reflected Light Creatively! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum as well!
Photo Of The Week – February 6th, 2023
This time POTW goes to @robertapple and his gorgeous landscape.

There was an attempt to get more reflection in the metal.
