SpaceX rocket fuel dump #BlueskyArtShow theme #sky #photography #EastCoastKin
Photo from March 2025 of a starry sky, with a strange hazy white spiral shape in the centre of frame. This was moving very slowly across the sky but obviously pretty high up. Caused a bit of puzzlement for a few minutes until other helpful Bluesky users pointed out that it was very likely a fuel dump from a Space X launch that evening.

Cityscape or landscape? City of Bath, from Prior Park #scape #cityscape #landscape #photography #EastCoastKin
Photo taken from the top end of Prior Park down towards Bath. Its Georgian buildings can be seen in the distance. In the foreground green hillside drops away, with a flock of sheep grazing. Further down, a Palladian bridge crosses a small lake. Trees surround the park. On the other side of the city, hills are rising in the distance. Overcast sky with patches of blue

Possibly my favourite romcom ever, a bit of a mid-tier Hitchcock, a stylish (skateboarding) vampire film and a wonderful Lynch short I'd almost forgotten about #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky #moviesky

Four square windows in a condo at Breckenridge ski resort. Outside you can just about see the base of the ski area, ski life and pine trees, as it is snowing hard

Pretty successful week of first watches - an early Spielberg that had so far escaped me, a fun Weta Workshop gore-fest, a film that absolutely lived up to the hype and a fun "one-shot" Hitchcock. #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky #moviesky

Royal Palace, Oslo #palacesandgardens theme: #people #photography #EastCoastKin
Approaching the royal palace in Oslo on foot from Karl Johan's gate. In the foreground, a number of people are walking up and down the road leading to the palace. The road is mainly in shade from the trees alongside the road. Further in the distance, in the sunshine, the yellow painted palace building is framed on either side by the trees, its central part with 6 columns and arches beneath stand behind a statue of King Karl Johan on horseback. A blue sky with fluffy white and grey clouds can be seen above the palace

Tokyo Tower #ColorADay #RedWed #photography #EastCoastKin
A photo of the red and white Tokyo Tower taken very close to the base, looking up. The latticed red metal structure, similar in structure to the Eiffel Tower, ascends to a point at the top. There is a large white viewing platform with a red base about two thirds of the way up, and a smaller round viewing platform much closer to the top. Through the middle of the structure, two tall pillars in red and white. Blue sky

Trollstigen, Norway - U shaped valley #AlphabetChallenge
#WeekVforVowel #photography #EastCoastKin
The Trollstigen (troll steps) mountain road snakes its way down the mountain from left to right through hairpin bends, until it finally levels out on the valley floor alongside the river that flows down from the mountaintop as a waterfall. The road can be seen crossing above the waterfall in the bottom right of frame. Either side of the valley, tall rocky mountains give way to green shrubbery , stretching far into the distance. Deep blue sky tops the frame.

When the sloes start to give up the first of their colour to the gin, before that first shake #colouraday #RedWed #photography #EastCoastKin
Sloes inside a Kilner jar - their skins have been slashed with a knife. The sloes are covered in gin and the colour is just starting to leach out of the skins into the gin just above the berries. The gin higher up is still clear

On a grassy hillside, a stone shepherd's hut lies in disrepair, its roof all but gone bar a few remaining tiles clinging on for dear life. Overcast sky.
