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

Moin, Bluesky 🦋.
Der Katzenwecker fordert sein Frühstück 🐱. Mein Körper fordert Kaffee ☕️. Draußen ist es düster und der Wetterbericht sagt Niederschlag voraus🌧❄️. Mal sehen, was es wird.
Drei Fünftel der Arbeitswoche sind geschafft und weiter geht's.
Schönen Donnerstag 👍 🇦🇹.

'In Sacred Shadow'

Wensleydale sunset framed from within a shaded Jervaulx Abbey.

A cheeky early entry for #PalacesAndGardens #HistoricGardens?

Sparty 🙏🏼

The photograph captures the ethereal beauty of Jervaulx Abbey, an enchanting 12th-century Cistercian ruin in North Yorkshire. The image, framed through a jagged, cavernous stone opening, showcases the site's unique blend of ancient architecture and untamed nature. At the centre, a slender birch tree stands like a ghostly sentinel against a vibrant twilight sky. The heavens are awash in soft purples, magentas, and hints of amber, where wispy, feathered clouds catch the last glow of a setting sun. This celestial backdrop highlights the abbey’s "romantic" atmosphere, a hallmark of its private ownership that encourages wildflowers and trees to flourish among the stones. To the right, the weathered remains of a significant monastic structure rise. The wall features two distinct, narrow lancet windows, typical of the Early English Gothic style used in the 13th-century rebuilding of the abbey. Below these windows, a darkened, arched doorway leads into the shadows of the ruins, once part of the extensive meat kitchen, which are among the best-preserved sections. The sandstone blocks are rugged and uneven, their surfaces textured by centuries of exposure and the relentless embrace of climbing ivy and moss. The foreground is dominated by a dense, dark thicket of brambles and shrubs, partially silhouetted against the fading light. This wild greenery reflects the Burdon family’s conservation ethos: to protect Jervaulx as a "living place" rather than a manicured attraction. The play of light and shadow, combined with the skeletal silhouettes of trees and crumbling walls, evokes a sense of tranquility and history, inviting viewers to reflect on a monastic past that once thrived in this peaceful Wensleydale valley. It is a scene where time softens and the hauntingly beautiful remains whisper stories of devotion and decay.

Vor einem unscharfen, bläulichen Hintergrund befinden sich mehrere Halme mit gefrorenem Gras. Die Gräser sind mit einer dünnen Eisschicht überzogen, was ihnen eine filigrane, winterliche Anmutung verleiht. Die Halme verlaufen schräg durch das Bild und überlappen sich teilweise.

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.

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