It's a new dawn, it's a new day.
A winter sunrise in Leyburn

Wishing all my #Bluesky friends a beautiful start to the week!

Sparty 🙏🏼🔆

This image captures a serene rural landscape during the transition between day and night at sunrise. The composition is structured by a dark, silhouetted foreground that frames a vast, colourful sky. On the left, a dense thicket of bare, intricately tangled branches creates a complex web against the light. Just behind these branches, a brilliant burst of light—the sun—emerges, casting a radiant glow and forming a distinct sunstar effect. This intense point of light serves as a powerful focal point, drawing the eye toward the horizon line. The middle ground consists of a long, dark ridge that stretches horizontally across the frame. Atop this ridge, several silhouettes are visible: a solitary, rounded tree stands prominently near the centre, while further to the right, lower shapes of bushes and a parked vehicle. The ground in the immediate foreground and below the ridge remains in deep shadow, revealing very little texture or detail, which enhances the dramatic contrast with the sky. The sky itself is the most vibrant element, displaying a smooth gradient of colour. Near the horizon, where the sun is breaking through, the light is a warm, golden orange. This hue gradually transitions upward into a soft, pale pink and finally into a deep, cool violet at the top of the frame. This atmospheric "Belt of Venus" effect creates a calm and contemplative mood. On the right side of the image, a few slender, leafless tree limbs reach into the frame from above, adding further depth and a sense of enclosure to the scene. The overall lighting is low and directional, emphasising silhouettes and the brilliant colours of the twilight sky. The image evokes a sense of quietude and the natural beauty of the countryside during the "golden hour." The contrast between the dark, detailed silhouettes of the vegetation and the soft, expansive colours of the sky creates a balanced and visually striking landscape photograph.

Snow-covered mountain landscape with low stone walls in the foreground. The area between Arnad, Bard, and Donnas is home to numerous hiking, trekking, and historical itineraries at various altitudes. This area was particularly strategic from a military standpoint for controlling the territory between the Piedmont plain and the Aosta Valley, a transit region for France and Switzerland.

Trail descending a mountain hike from Cerro San Luis down to Laguna Lake Open Space. Other mountains are in the distance.

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #Clouds #WestCoastKin #SLO #MinimalMonday
A muddy trail cuts through green hills and valleys. There is another large hill ahead, and blue mountains in the distance under a partly blue sky with white and grey clouds. It's a somewhat minimalist landscape and image. This is in the Laguna Lake Open Space at the base of Cerro San Luis mountain in San Luis Obispo, California.

Ein Marienkäfer sitzt auf der Spitze eines schmalen, gebogenen Blattes. Im Vordergrund und Hintergrund sind unscharfe, violettfarbene Blüten und grüne Pflanzenstängel zu sehen. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und zeigt einen starken Schärfeverlauf zwischen dem scharf abgebildeten Insekt und der verschwommenen Umgebung.

Moin, Bluesky 🦋.
Nach einigen frostfreien Tagen sind die Minusgrade zurückgekehrt und vereinzelte Schneeflocken tanzen vom Himmel ❄️. Da hilft am Besten Kaffee ☕️.
Guten Start in die neue Woche und Grüße aus dem trüben Süden ☁️ 🇦🇹 👍.

Yesterday in the forest, sunshine and bright Spring colours. The first blue sky in five weeks.

#Hiking #Photography #Scape #SpéirGorm #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyMonday #Dublin #Ireland
Sunshine and shadows looking through the trees at Tibradden forest just outside Dublin. The dried out gorse is lit up with a bright ray of sun with further trees beyond the immediate grass and gorse. Out above the forest a blue sky, which lasted for most of the afternoon. Relief from the grey for a few beautiful hours.

A crow sits on a branch and looks behind it. Its breast and beak shine in the sunlight. The background is a dark blue sky.

Words of my late father...

Know who you are.
Know your mind.
Have presence in the world.

This stag knows all about that!

A stag sat on grass surveying his world. Antlers fully formed and symmetrical. Great presence.

We ached and never touched that stuff;
Our reach was never quite enough.
If only we had taller been
And touched God's cuff, his hem,
We would not have to go with them,
Who've gone before,
Who, short as us stood, as they could stand

And hoped by standing tall they could keep their land Their home, their hearth, their flesh and soul But they, like us, were standing in a hole ... Short Man, Large Dream I sent my rockets forth, between my ears Hoping an inch of Good is worth a pound of years Aching to hear a voice cry back across a universal mall; We've reached Alpha Centauri!

Time for a short break while we go to the cinema to watch 'Crime 101', I will catch up with #BirdOfTheDay once we get back home.

Enjoy your Sunday folks.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WinterSurvivors - birds that remain throughout your winter season. The alternative is #corvids - birds from the Corvidae family. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Front-facing European robin perched on a weathered tree stump, its bright orange breast and face vivid against soft green woodland blur. The bird’s pale grey and cream belly feathers are fluffed out, giving it a rounded, almost spherical shape, with delicate legs gripping the rough bark. The symmetrical pose and direct gaze create an intimate, characterful portrait, while the smooth background isolates the robin in sharp, striking detail

Thought I do the alt of #corvids for #BirdOfTheDay too. Here’s a Rook. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Close-up profile of a rook’s head against a softly blurred green background. The bird’s glossy black feathers show a subtle iridescent sheen, while its pale, bare greyish-white skin around the base of the long, slightly curved grey bill contrasts sharply with the dark plumage. The rook’s round brown eye is sharply in focus, giving an alert, watchful expression.
