Red sunsets are caused by Rayleigh scattering, where low-angle sunlight travels through more of the Earth’s atmosphere, scattering shorter blue/violet wavelengths and allowing longer red/orange wavelengths to pass through to the eye. Particulates and dust in the air further enhance this effect, often indicating dry, high-pressure weather, summarized by the saying "red sky at night, sailor's delight". To capture this photo I used this camera and settings: Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 10 MP • 2736 × 3648 • 5.9 MB ISO 200 150 mm -0.7 ev f5.6 | 1/200 s

The sun and a blue sky, with some haze, are reflected in a partially frozen lake. In the distance, mountains shrouded in mist can be seen. To the right, dry lake vegetation with warm colors contrasts with the cool tones of the rest of the photograph.

Hiking in the mountains on a foggy but vaguely sunny morning a few weeks ago.

Standing on the side of a hill looking towards the edge of the forest. The fog is really a low slung cloud that is starting to thin out. Strong sunshine behind giving the air an yellow tint.

From today. Winter has been very cold. The lakes have been frozen some time, which does not happen that often anymore. #winter #landscape #nature #skåne #sweden
Winter landscape with a frozen lake covered by snow. The sky is grey an clody.

Several sailing boats are anchored offshore while a storm is brewing. The sky is frighteningly dark and the water glistens very green.

My little mountain, love hiking up it. Enjoy your day wherever you call home. #Ireland #Home #scape #photography #EastCoastKin
Binevenagh Mountain rises in the distance, its rugged cliff face glowing gold in warm sunlight beneath heavy, dramatic clouds. In the foreground, a lush green field of tall grasses and wildflowers stretches toward the forested slopes, creating a rich contrast between the illuminated summit and the darker sky above.

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PeacefulSolitide a singular bird, in a peaceful setting. The alt is #DramaQueens upset or angry birds. Good luck. I’m sorry I can’t comment or repost all as it’s so time consuming. So get involved community. 🙏🙏🙏 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A redshank stands in shallow, calm water beside a small muddy rock, its bright orange legs and straight orange-based bill contrasting with its soft brown upperparts and finely barred pale underbelly. The bird faces slightly away, showing layered feather detail and a clear pale eye ring. Its reflection appears sharply in the still blue water below, creating a near mirror image, while the simple, uncluttered background emphasises the bird’s elegant posture and vivid leg colour.

One of the huge boulders at the top of Cerro San Luis in San Luis Obispo. Looking towards Los Osos and the ocean.

A large boulder is sitting on top of Cerro San Luis mountain overlooking the view of the green hills, valley and mountains of San Luis Obispo and Los Osos, California. The sky is mostly cloudy and stormy looking. Down in the valley is Laguna Lake and the city of San Luis Obispo.

It’s quite stormy here. But I do know that many folks are wanting warm sunshine. Here’s a sunset from this last November ☀️

Have a very peaceful evening 🕊️

Another from my recent moody foggy walk in the woods. The sun was showing up at this point and creating some lovely lighting!
#FebuArty2026 #form #trees #forest #foggy #light #sunlight #moody #fog #photography
Standing in a forest of evergreen trees with low lying fog all around. The sun is starting to infiltrate the fog casting a lovely subtle light on the tree trunks. The forest floor is filled with green foliage, and a bit of blue sky is peeking through the green tree foliage in the upper left corner.

Zwischen dichten, grün belaubten Bäumen und Sträuchern ragt ein hoher, weißer Turm mit goldenen Zierelementen und einer Uhr hervor. Der Turm hat mehrere Etagen und eine dunkle Kuppel mit goldener Spitze. Im Vordergrund ranken sich Kletterpflanzen über einen natürlichen Bogen aus Ästen und Blättern.

Winter in den Salzwiesen. ❄️
Winter in the salt meadows.
#eastcoastkin #bluetue #waterwednesday
Salzwiesen mit Schnee bedeckt, im Vordergrund verlaufen Wasserläufe durch die eisige Landschaft. Am Horizont sind dunkle Wolken und ein Schwarm Vögel zu sehen. Die Farben wirken kühl, das Licht ist gedämpft. Ein Pfosten mit einem gelben Schild steht am Rand eines Wasserlaufs.

Klirrender Frost und sternenklarer Himmel ✨️. Dazu gibt's heißen Kaffee ☕️. Dem Katzenwecker gefällt es draußen überhaupt nicht und er sucht sich ein warmes Plätzchen 🐱.
Schönen Dienstag und Grüße aus dem frostigen Süden ☕️ 👍 🇦🇹.
