The glowing reflections off of the East River for #blueskyartshow #glow #longexposure #green #cityscape #newyorkcity #brooklyn #photography #art

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.

Yes, we’re on the outskirts of that storm. A little south towards New York City will get much more of it than we are going to get here.

Photograph taken on a dark evening at a fibre optic light show in the grounds of Dunham Massey in Cheshire.

The scene is black with tall golden mushrooms that look a little like jellyfish. Trails of wiggling fibre optic strands snake across the ground. In the distance are other light colours illuminating the trees.

#glow on the early morning horizon in Lake Worth Beach, FL. Has a Rothko-esque quality to it. #longexposure #bluehour #sunrise #scape #eastcoastkin #art #photography #blueskyartshow

Picture of pre-sunrise Horizon on the ocean in South Florida. Long exposure so the water has a white/purpleish froths to it. There is the red and orange horizon and the purple sky.

NY Harbor from Brooklyn Waterfront. #scape #photography #eastcoastkin #brooklyn #newyorkcity

Early evening photo of the Statue of Liberty. Close by is NY harbor. The statue is illuminated. The Staten Island Ferry is just to the left. The clouds and sky are wild hues of red and violet.

I’m off to Nepal - hiking & reconnecting with nature. 
Leaving you with a few of my favorite mountains! (Minus Mt. Fuji) 🫣

Catch you all again in Nov.
 ✌🏽❤️

A black and white photo of Salkantay Mountain in Peru. Its icy summit looms above a stark, rocky valley, mirrored perfectly in a still patch of meltwater, all beneath a partially cloudy Andean sky.

Face to face with natures raw power, under a canopy of stars, Volcán de Fuego pours incandescent lava down its flanks as a brooding column of ash ascends.

From the summit of Mt. Rinjani on the Indonesian island of Lombok, the rising sun paints the ridges gold while the mountain’s shadow pierces the horizon, forming a fleeting pyramid in the sky. A still, blue crater lake and a smaller volcano can be seen below.

View atop Huayna Potosí (6,088m / 19,974ft), where a snow covered mountain peak reveals jagged dark rocks piercing the thick white snow. The foreground showcases a vast expanse of Penitente ice formations. A carved path used by hikers is visible across the bottom.
