Long exposure view from Brooklyn across the east river towards lower Manhattan at night. The Brooklyn Bridge is on the left to the left of that is the financial district. The east river is reflecting all the colors from the lit skyline. There are also glowing lights from cars driving on the FDR Drive.

The image shows a landscape scene with a massive, reddish-orange rock formation dominating the background. In the foreground, there's a tree with green foliage, and what appears to be bushes or shrubs at its base. The sky above is indicating early morning. The overall impression is one of a natural, possibly desert-like environment with a striking contrast between the vegetation and the large rock.

Aerial view of a glacial river from Drangajökull - pale veins of meltwater tracing paths through dark volcanic earth. From above, it feels less like a living map.

The beauty of the mysterious, of that which is partly hidden, when secrets are revealed....

#photography #landscapephotography #landscape #travel #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #sunset #outdoors

It is the interplay of fog with Namibia's coastal dunes which makes for beautiful scenes. I loved the soft tones of this scene, the dunes struggling to emerge from dense fog and the coast line barely showing through.

I have always been mesmerized by the soft, ethereal light that seems to emanate from glaciers and touches all that is nearby. This particular evening in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park, it all came together. The warm light of the sun intermittently broke through clouds, gracing the peak of a mountain right next to glacier Grey in some of the most beautiful, evocative light I have seen.

The mysterious, the partially known, that left to our imagination, exerts a profound hold on us. In East Greenland, giant icebergs contrast against towering mountains emerging from the clouds, yet never revealing what lies behind.

Gently swaying grasses, remnants of good rains that graced the desert, complement distant mountains shrouded in a combination of dust & mist, as they are touched by the last light of day. Somewhere in Namibia.

The image captures a nighttime scene in a Brussels square. A large, modern sculpture made of illuminated, twisting lines stands prominently in the center, drawing the eye. The sculpture is surrounded by a crowd of people, observing this public art installation.
Behind the sculpture, there are buildings with classical architectural details, illuminated by streetlights, which cast a warm glow on the facades. The overall atmosphere is warm and inviting, despite the darkness.

In times of turmoil and violence, one needs once in a while a place to retreat, fresh air, and the insolent beauty of a wide beach softly stroked by a quiet sea.

#scape #landscape #photography #Lofoten

The image features a quaint red wooden cabin situated near a sandy beach. Behind the beach, mountains loom under a cloudy sky. Tall grass and bushes surround the cabin, adding to the rustic feel of the scene.

A person is shown crouching on a wide, sandy beach facing out to sea but staring into the phone in their hand. The figure, dressed in what appears to be a grey or dark suit jacket and trousers with black shoes, is positioned low to the ground near the water's edge, their back slightly turned towards the viewer. Their head is bowed, and they are looking down at photos on their mobile.
The beach itself is a vast expanse of light brown, wet sand, marked with subtle undulations and moisture from the receding waves. The colour of the sand transitions from a darker, saturated brown near the water to a lighter, drier yellowy tone further up the shore.
The ocean occupies the upper half of the frame, its surface a series of parallel, gentle waves. The foamy white crests of these waves create a natural, flowing pattern across the water, their lines running from the left to the right side of the image. The water is a soft, muted tone, reflecting the overcast sky and appearing in shades of light brown, gray, and off-white.
The overall composition is serene and somewhat contemplative, with the solitary figure as the focal point. The image has a soft, muted colour palette, dominated by earthy tones of brown and grey, with the bright white foam of the waves providing contrast. The perspective is from above, looking down at the person and the beach, which emphasises the vastness of the natural environment and the smallness of the human figure within it. The lighting is soft and diffused, indicative of an overcast day. The scene evokes a sense of quiet solitude and introspection.

Have a nice evening you all

The image features a lighthouse standing at the end of a concrete pier, set against a vibrant sky at sunset. The lighthouse is mainly white with a red top, and a red door at its base. The sky is a mix of blues closer to the top, transitioning to pinks and oranges near the horizon. The pier has a metal railing on one side and a concrete barrier on the other. In the distance, across the water, there's a vague silhouette of land with buildings. The overall scene conveys a sense of tranquility and beauty.

In a Costa Rican nature reserve, a striking Green Honeycreeper stands on a half-eaten papaya. Its yellow-tipped beak is poised against the ripe orange flesh, contrasted by the soft green foliage in the background.
