#fallfriday

I was in a drunken dream
The pubs were closed
It was three o'clock
At the bottom of the street it seemed
There was a policeman lost in the fog

Full moon power Xing - Jan, 2026

A yellow full moon enveloped in a thin wispy cloud, illuminating a small part in front, in a dim moody blue sky after dusk. Power lines crisscross the sky. Edges of bare trees and a streetlamp is at the bottom of the image.

The Flammarion engraving is a wood engraving by an unknown artist that first appeared in Camille Flammarion's L'Atmosphère: Météorologie populaire (1888). The image depicts a man crawling under the edge of the sky, depicted as if it were a solid hemisphere, to look at the mysterious Empyrean beyond. The caption underneath the engraving (not shown here) translates to "A medieval missionary tells that he has found the point where heaven and Earth meet..." Wikipedia

Abstracted photo looking down on a blue plastic (oil?) drum that has badly corroded & melted in places. A large crack in the plastic reveals the dark interior which looks deep blue. A curving thin branch on the top of the drum frames the photo.

#Photography #Sunset #Scape #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A wide landscape photograph captures a range of snow-capped mountains at dusk, viewed across a body of water from a silhouette-lined shore. The peaks of the mountains are illuminated by a warm, golden sunset glow, while their bases and the foreground remain in deep shadow. Above the mountains, a vast, hazy sky transitions from a soft orange near the horizon to a moody, muted purple and grey. In the lower foreground, the dark outlines of rooftops and a modern, arched building structure are visible against the water. The overall composition is serene and atmospheric, with a strong horizontal focus on the light hitting the mountain ridge.
