“Fox Theater at Night”

The neon hums like memory—bright, defiant, and still alive against the dark.

#EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #StreetPhotography
#Denver #Colorado

The photograph shows the Fox Theater’s tall neon sign glowing in vivid red, green, and yellow against a deep black night sky. The letters “F-O-X” rise vertically in a classic Art Deco design, while the marquee below announces upcoming shows like Schoolhouse Rock Live and Lizzie. Streetlights cast warm pools of light across the sidewalk, illuminating the bike rack, marquee, and closed double doors below. The theater’s curved aluminum facade adds a faint metallic sheen, giving contrast to the bright, nostalgic glow of the neon.

This image speaks to endurance and nostalgia—the way places built for gathering still hold their presence long after the crowds fade. The Fox’s light isn’t just illumination; it’s memory refusing to dim.

The #glow of the diamond ring effect and corona from this total solar #Eclipse illuminates the clouds, drawing gasps from the waiting crowds (Australia 2012)

A total solar eclipse, with a clear diamond ring effect as totality comes to an end. The light from the eclipse is shining on a gap in the clouds creating a surreal scene

"Glow glow into the wilderness my hope
Of yesterdays dreams that are now nowhere"~Peter S. Quinn(Poem in Alt)

#BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #ArtChallenge

A glowing Peony ignites its limited view with a glow that mesmerizes. Pinks, golds, and lavenders shine with intensity.
Accompanied by a poem by Peter S. Quinn called

Glow Glow

Glow glow into the wilderness my hope
Of yesterdays dreams that are now nowhere
Only a feeling to come again here
With the new pleasures and beyond cloud's scope
Ways are now going that once were much alive
Into oblivion of no return back
Somewhere in morning new lights arrive
From the fields and the meadows of the black

Bring fire of a hidden deeper meaning
To the mountains mystical in the far
Like blueness of the dreams that come and go
Winds of north forever you're careening
Filling the empty vow of glistening mar
That billows to the shore with its light glow

This was the best example of #glow I could find in my archives, throwback to New Year’s Day when the sun is setting over snow covered ice. The sun looked like a nuclear explosion 💥 . Cool mist too.

#BlueskyArtShow #landscape #winter #sunset

Sunset at 2:30 pm on a cold New Year’s Day. The sun is just about to go down beyond the horizon and a slight cold mist helps to create the optical illusion of a bright explosion. In the foreground is a snow covered sea. The wind has formed patterns in the snow making it look like waves in water. The colours from the sunset reflect on the surface.

#BlueskyArtShow #Glow... Here's another traditional Jack O’ Lantern I made from a turnip in 2022... be prepared to bend a spoon. Irish and Scottish migrants took the Hallowe’en tradition with them to America and America, well Americanised it.

Cloud over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario shortly before sunrise. The #glow for the #BlueSkyArtShow provided by a wide angle lens from the 1980s that was submerged in Georgian Bay and dried out in an oven in 1985.

Part of my #GettingBackToBasics project using a set of three manual focus prime lenses.
