'The Swimmers Disappear'

On an evening I nearly stayed indoors, I’m so glad I didn’t! An outdoor swimming area in Bangor, Northern Ireland.

I am almost always glad that I ignore less-than-ideal weather reports. This morning was no exception.

A lone cypress stands in silhouette against a fiery band of sunrise. Dark clouds press down from above, leaving only a narrow line of orange and gold along the far horizon. Clouds near the horizon add drama and color.

Trying to use my ND filters a little more often... I'll have to come back to this shot later when clouds aren't covering the mountain peaks in the distance.

Looking across a pond in the early morning, clouds are moving in from the mountains.

Winter trees along a river bank reflecting in the water, the setting sun colouring everywhere pink.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ A little something l took during the week with a poem in the Alt to for this shot. Have a golden day friends ☺️#Stunday #Photography #EastCoastKin #Poem #Poetry #PhotographyOfBlueSky

Our picture shows a peaceful riverside landscape washed entirely in warm golden light, as if the world has been dipped in molten amber.

The sun hangs high in the sky,large, bright, and glowing intensely, casting a sweeping golden hue across everything below. Its reflection shimmers perfectly on the still water, creating a second glowing orb on the rivers surface.

In the center distance, tall leafless trees stand like dark silhouettes against the brilliant sky. A lone bird, likely an egret, is wading quietly in the shallow water. The river is calm, with only gentle ripples and scattered twigs breaking its surface.

Bushes and small trees frame the water on both sides, their branches appearing almost black against the overwhelming golden brightness.

In the far distance to the left, the faint outline of a small tower or steeple rises above the treeline. The entire scene feels tranquil, dreamlike, and almost otherworldly.

Bathed in the deep, warm glow of a fading day. And finally, our picture is finished with a simple, white border fame.

And now for my poem inspired by this shot..

I call it… “Where the Golden Quiet Falls”

Beneath a sun that melts the sky
Into a bowl of burnished gold,
A silent river reflects the light,
A story waiting to be told.

A lone bird stands, the world held still,
Its shadow drifting at its feet;
The trees, like watchmen carved from dusk,
Stand guard where earth and heaven meet.

No breeze to stir the woven calm,
No sound but water’s gentle call;
Here time slows down, and hearts grow soft
Where evening’s golden quiet falls.

And in this hush, the day exhales,
A final breath, so warm and deep,
A promise whispered to the night:
Some beauty never goes to sleep.

Last of the Light

Alone on the canal as the last of the light fades away and the world slips out of focus.

I very much enjoy the experimental part of photography. This image was made with intentional camera movement, or #ICM. It's a 5 second exposure. During the exposure, I moved the camera slightly upwards. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #trees #fog #icmphotography #photooftheday #MotionBlur

It's #BlueSkyMonday! Even though this is faux color from an #infrared image edit, it's still blue. This image was made on a good cloud day at our local wildlife refuge with a full spectrum conversion at 720nm. #photography #landscape #fullspectrum #ir #EastCoastKin #clouds #reflections

Couldn’t have hoped for moodier clouds up Reinebringen! Worth the 2000 leg busting steps, definitely! Worth hiking up before sunrise with head torches, absolutely not, this was taken after waiting for two hours inside a cloud 😂😂
