This is my art and photo account. I have made a second account @canavart2.bsky.social for politics, opinion, games, etc.

I'll try to keep the content separate!

a pocket of peace on a broody day

#WaterWednesday #photography #getyourzenon #nature #breathe #daybyday

Jagged bedrock juts out into the pacific ocean. The broody sky creates a glow upon the still waters of the sea & the puddles on the rocks.

Irrsee
Also know as Lake Zell,in the Salzkammergut, Austria. It’s a so called virgin lake, stretching 5 kilometers long an 1 kilometer wide. It’s a popular tourist destination, also thanks to the warmest water temperature of all lakes in Salzkammergut. #photography #nature #lake #austria #travel

About a month ago I took a survey on two different versions of this view. Based on the feedback, I attempted this again at the end of September.

Four brown tree trunks frame a distant tree which has only a few leaves on it. Log and brown leaves laying on the ground. Green leaves throughout with a few yellow ones in the center. September 30, 2025

Good Evening and Goodnight ,Bluesky fam! Check out this Stunning Common Hollyhock flower that I saw Today while Wondering Around
My neighbourhood,
Captured on a Canon EOS R50

The picture shows a close-up of a pink hollyhock flower in bloom. The flower has soft, delicate petals with a slightly ruffled edge, surrounding a central yellow-green stamen. The background includes green leaves and a blurred natural setting, with another pink flower partially visible on the left side. The overall scene suggests a garden environment.

The coastal path from Dunseverick Castle to the Giant's Causeway earlier this afternoon. One of my favourite places on Earth.

A landscape photograph. A narrow rocky trail in the foreground, flanked by a barbed wire fence to the right and thick heather to the left, leads towards a headland in the midground of the shot. The ocean is visible beyond the headland, calm and still. A jagged coastline of headlands and coves snakes away to the horizon on the right of the shot, with a thick, cloudy sky above. The green of the land could only be Ireland, but the colours of the sky, sea, and land are muted by the dull October light.

Once we were done with Stonehenge, we took the bus back to Salisbury and walked around a bit before getting back on the train for London.

I was laying down taking some shots of Black Oystercatchers, when this female Brewers Blackbird landed about 5 feet in front of me. I think it was trying to figure out what the heck I was up to. It hung out for about a minute and figured out I wasn’t that exciting and left 🤣
