This forest is not on fire.

A messy forest view of fallen branches and downed trees. Parts of the branches are illuminated so strongly by the morning light that at first glance they look like they are on fire.

— Fix The Shadows —
Photo and words by Yves

“The Weight of a Smile” — beneath the painted joy, a quiet storm brews.
An exploration of the masks we wear, the laughter we force, and the pain that lingers beneath.
#Art #Expressionism #blueskyart

The Weight of a Smile portrays a young clown holding a crude paper smile over his solemn expression. The white makeup and exaggerated features, symbols of humor and innocence, clash against the exhaustion in his eyes. The muted lighting and soft textures evoke a haunting sense of melancholy — a reminder that behind many smiles lies a struggle unseen. The piece speaks to the fragility of joy, the act of performance in everyday life, and the universal ache of pretending to be okay.

Good morning everyone, after your hair raising stories for #Myth&Legend yesterday I had a pretty rocky night, so I’m taking it slowly today. 😉 Have a relaxing day you all.
#scape #skyscape #moon #31DaysOfHalloween #PhotographersOfBluesky
#EastCoastKin

A ghostly moon glows behind swirling shadows of cloud, its pale light barely piercing the ominous night sky. Wisps of darkness drift across the bright lunar face, lending the scene an eerie, haunting silence.
Nights like this make falling asleep nearly impossible, as restless thoughts and the eerie glow seem to keep the mind wide awake. The lack of sleep leaves a sense of irritability and fatigue the next day, haunting both mood and energy.

One of my favorite spots for Friday #scape day.

Blue sky with big white and grey clouds drifting in across and reflecting on the surface of very smooth water trees and reeds on the horizon.

Sign of the day ... 🌳✌️

A canvas sign made up of tie-died strands in blue and rust on a white background with a teal circle with the following words in the centre in white text: GO INTO THE FOREST THERE IS LESS WI-FI BUT YOU WILL FEEL MORE CONNECTED.

Morning All !

#Scape day already ? Where does the time go ? Have a good weekend one and all 😀

Bannaminn and Foula, #Shetland, #Scotland. September 2025

#Landscape #Seascape #Photography #EastCoastKin

Pointing West from the top of a small rise. Rough pasture leads down to Bannaminn Bay. The dark blue waters of the North Atlantic lap against the grass topped headlands at the mouth of the bay. Over 20 miles away on the horizon the distant mass of Foula, one of the remotest inhabited islands in Britain, sits on the horizon. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds.

The Ghost Monk @theghostmonk.bsky.social · 3h

The mysterious slab in Written Stone Lane, #Preston, #Lancashire. A #boggart lived beneath it and attacked a man who foolishly scoffed at its existence. After trying to use it as a gatepost, a farmer was also punished by the spook and rapidly put it back: 'TO LYE FOREVER'
#PhantomsFriday #folklore

My photo of the Written Stone (does it always lie in shadow?). The inscription reads: 'RAUFFE RADCLIFFE LAID THIS STONE TO LYE FOREVER AD 1655'. It's been suggested the stone started life as a prehistoric standing stone. There are a number of tales of ancient stones being moved, only for the mover being forced to return it by invisible forces or recurring bad luck.
