A view over the roofs of the City of Berlin.
Made from the roof of the Humboldt Forum.
We see the Berlin Dome to the left and a high hotel in the middle. Close to that we have the Television Tower.
Also a crane.
On the far left a vase is attached to a roof.

A massive Cottonwood tree rises toward a sky of drifting clouds and deep blue.

A tall Fremont Cottonwood tree photographed from below, showing its deeply textured trunk and high-reaching branches filled with green leaves. The tree stretches into a dark blue sky with scattered white clouds, surrounded by a dense canopy of other trees. The image conveys height, strength, and natural serenity.

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #spotted now that can mean when you have been spotted by your subject or a bird that has spots or blotches on it’s plumage. I was #spotted by a European Robin yesterday. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A European robin stands alert on a patch of mossy ground, facing directly toward the camera. Its vivid orange-red breast and face glow warmly in the sunlight, contrasting with its soft grey and brown plumage. Bright green blades of grass frame the foreground, while the background fades into a dark, softly blurred woodland scene.

Don't trip over the sleeping dogs!! Gjirokastra, Albania

#UrbanGaze #HumansOfBluesky #photography #landscape #ArtYear #scape #SensoryArt #shadow #EastCoastKin

The picture shows a cobblestone street in an old town, lined with traditional buildings with shops and cafés. In the foreground, two dogs are lying on the cobblestones, resting. Several people are standing on the street and walking past the shops that offer souvenirs and other goods. A sign on one of the buildings points to "OLD TOWN." In the background, more buildings can be seen climbing up a hillside. Above them rise wooded hills and mountains under a partly cloudy sky.

Dracula's Castle in Transylvania.

Stories abound about Dracula and his castle which are attributed to Bram Stoker's book "Dracula." But what was the castle really like, and what happened there? (See alt txt)

#EastCoastKin #Dracula #Castle #ClassicMono

This imposing stone castle named Bran Castle sits on a hill in Transylvania, Romania. Bram Stoker had seen images of Bran Castle with its imposing size and location, and decided this would be the basis of his story about Vlad Dracula.

Vlad Dracula, or Vlad the Impaler is said to have impaled 100,000 people or more. Local tales of vampires also inspired Bram Stoker's book.

Vlad was a local hero for warding off the Ottoman invaders, but he never actually lived in the castle. He was, however, imprisoned there briefly for crimes.

According to local lore, the castle was once the site of a massacre during a siege, where many children lost their lives. Today, their spirits are believed to haunt the castle grounds.

Fierce winds drive off snow & ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine. There is a whole world of drama & grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, & especially so for Patagonia!

Colorful buildings line the street. A single tree grows with yellow leaves up the front of one of the houses.

Black-and-white photograph of the steps and square in front of La Grande Arche in Paris. Numerous people are sitting on the steps, and the lines and shapes on the ground, together with the walls of La Grande Arche, give the image an exciting geometric structure.

A brick-red gable on a shingle-covered roof in southern France crosses the picture. Behind it, other houses and the cloudy sky are blurred.
