There was a brilliant #sunset around my neighborhood the other night, cycling through different tones and colors. At one point it reached a #ColorADay #PinkMon display, capped off with some purplish blue clouds above.

Thanks for the mountain of love lately. I’ll find something other than mountains for the next posts! 😝✌🏽❤️

A solitary white yak grazes quietly beneath the vast Himalayas, its heavy coat glowing against golden autumn trees and the immense sweep of snowy peaks rising in dramatic contrast behind it.

Happy Sunday! We had a beautiful sunrise today over West Dennis Beach on Cape Cod with so many variations it was hard to choose. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Looking straight up at swirling clouds and sky in hues of blue, bright orange, brown and white. It looks more like a painting.

My every morning while in Parksville starts with a beach walk. Some days, I see a gorgeous sunrise, some days just grey clouds, some days something in between.

Hawaii has fantastic opportunities for #Sky photos. The first, palm trees are silhouetted against the #sunset sky from my rental on Maui; the second, the pinks and pastels of a #Maui #sunrise, 10,000ft up the incredible Haleakala volcano.

A vertical shot of a tranquil forest stream with silky, flowing water cascading over mossy rocks. Bright, warm golden light filters through the bare tree branches in the background, creating a glowing reflection on the water that contrasts with the cool, dark tones of the dense woodland and ferns on the riverbank.

A vertical photograph deep inside a dense forest, featuring dramatic shafts of sunlight filtering down through the tall tree canopy. The sunbeams illuminate the mist in the air, creating a radiant, golden effect, and brightly light a small, vibrant sapling and the dense undergrowth in the foreground. The surrounding pines and evergreens are dark and shadowed.

A first desert image from last month trip to UAE… Sunset + desert dust = beautiful orange ball at the horizon.

Return home have been total chaos so I’m just starting to work on the images.

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday BlueSky Folks! Here is a Picture of two Tufted Ducks that I saw at my local Lake a few days ago.
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The picture shows two ducks swimming in a body of water. The ducks have black heads, necks, and bodies with bright yellow eyes and white patches on their chests. They appear to be a type of diving duck, likely Tufted Ducks (Aythya fuligula), characterized by their distinctive black and white plumage. The water surface is calm with some ripples and reflections, and there are a few green leaves or algae visible on the water. The ducks are close to each other, creating a serene and natural scene.

The sun sets over a small cove on the pacific ocean. Night sky looms above the golden sinking sun promising forthcoming darkness. Tall trees are outlined on a small island in the middle of the dead calm water. Reflections from the sky cut the cove in two with the remainder of the day. Foreground tree limbs lean into the frame

Going through some old photos came across this one of Covent Garden at Christmas #CoventGarden #London #streetphotography #Christmas #photograpgy #bnwphotography #Nikon #ThePhotoHour
A black and white photo of the Christmas decorations at Covent Garden. There is a mix of baubles, mistletoe and old fashioned lanterns on the ceiling. There is a reflection of one of the lanterns in one of the baubles. This is an old photo I found while looking through photos
