La chiesa di Sant'Apollinare (XIV secolo) nel quartiere di Piedicastello a Trento, vista dal Ponte San Lorenzo che attraversa fiume Adige e di cui si vedono, in primo piano, i fiori che ne decorano il parapetto. Alle spalle della chiesa la collina su cui si estende il Parco Naturale del Dos nella cui area sorgono il Monumento Nazionale degli Alpini e il Mausoleo di Cesare Battisti.

#RockinTuesday #Bluesky #TidesOut

Sunny coastal scene at Île du Havre aux Maisons. A sandy beach with footprints stretches into the distance, bordered by more red rock formations under a clear blue sky.
Red sandstone cliffs, a sedimentary rock primarily composed of quartz coated with iron oxide, which gives them their distinctive color and crumbly texture.

Symmetrical wide angle view of the entrance to a long tunnel with a semi-circle shape, made with minimalistic blocs of white concrete and bathed under electric blue light at the Uribarri metro station in Bilbao. A person is walking away towards the end of the tunnel on one of the two conveyor belts installed under the tunnel. The architect of this brutalist metroc architecture is Norman Foster.

Evening #BlueSky 🫖 l was in Norway & took this shot. Was -20c that day, turns out it was even more chilling 😳(story in the Alt) May the rest of your day be plain sailing friends 😌 #31DaysOfHalloween #Spooktober #nightmare #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographyOfBlueSky #Norway #Ghosts #AltText

The picture shows a large, old-fashioned sailing ship moored at a quiet dock under a moody sky in Oslo, Norway. After the description, l have a nightmarish tale…

The ship’s tall wooden masts rise high, laced with an intricate web of ropes and rigging. Its sails are furled tight, as if resting after a long voyage.

The dock is wet and empty, save for a lone bicycle leaning against the railing. Overhead, dark storm clouds gather, but a faint light breaks through near the horizon.

There is a soft, eerie glow of orange and pink where the sun struggles against the gloom. The distant shoreline and rows of smaller ships fade into the mist. The whole scene feels heavy with silence and secrets.

Our picture is in colour and has a pure white border frame. And now, our nightmarish tale….

The Return of the Havfruen

They said the Havfruen was lost to the North Sea, swallowed whole in a sudden squall one black November night.

Her captain, Lars Eikland, and his twelve-man crew vanished without a word, leaving only silence and the distant cries of gulls.

Months passed. Winter melted into spring. Then one dawn, as fog rolled over the fjord, the Havfruen returned. She drifted into the harbour, sails furled, ropes hanging limp, her deck slick with sea salt and ice.

No voices called from her bow, no footsteps sounded on her planks. The lanterns still burned, faintly flickering…though no one had lit them.

When the harbormaster boarded her, he found plates set on the mess table, the captain’s log open mid-sentence, and wet footprints leading from the sea to the helm… and nowhere else.

The last line written read:
“She calls to us from below….the Lady of the Deep.”

To this day, on storm-dark nights, the Havfruen is seen gliding through the mist off the Norwegian coast, her sails full though no wind stirs, her crew unseen, her lanterns burning cold.

Some say she searches still… for the one who called her name beneath the waves.

Sleep well…..

The image features a striking, yellow wooden house set against a dramatic mountainous backdrop under a cloudy sky. The house has white trim around the windows and roofline, providing a stark contrast to the golden yellow of the wood. It sits near a body of water, with a small dock and railing extending from its side. The mountains in the background are imposing and rugged, with their peaks disappearing into the ominous clouds. The overall mood of the photograph is somewhat somber, with the dark clouds and craggy landscape contrasting with the bright color of the house.

'Gothic Grandeur Endures'

Whitby Abbey in North Yorkshire, perched dramatically on a headland overlooking the North Sea.
Stunning #Architecture

#ColorADay #PinkMon #Art #PhotographersofBluesky #ArtYear #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueskyArt

This image captures the majestic ruins of Whitby Abbey, perched dramatically on a headland overlooking the North Sea in North Yorkshire, England. The central focus is the skeletal remains of the Gothic abbey's east end, with its soaring, empty arched windows and intricate stone tracery silhouetted against a dynamic sky. The weathered, golden-hued stone of the abbey contrasts with the deep blue and soft pinky-white of the cloud-strewn sky, creating a striking visual.
In the foreground, a field of tall, dry grass in various shades of golden brown and green stretches across the frame, providing a natural, textured carpet leading up to the historic structure. A small, still pond in a marshy area, is visible in the lower right, reflecting a subdued light from the sky and adding depth to the foreground. To the left of the main abbey structure, further ruins with distinct archways are visible, hinting at the abbey's once-expansive footprint.
In the distant background, the gentle curve of the coastline and a glimpse of the town of Whitby can be seen, with the vast expanse of the North Sea stretching out to meet the horizon under a soft, diffused light. The overall impression is one of serene grandeur and historical depth, with the rugged beauty of the ruins and the surrounding natural landscape combining to create a powerful and evocative scene. The image evokes a sense of timelessness, reflecting both the architectural prowess of the past and the enduring power of nature.

This serene landscape captures a pastoral scene bathed in the warm, diffused glow of dusk, indicative of the 'golden hour'. The foreground is dominated by a vibrant, lush green pasture, meticulously maintained and slightly undulating, hinting at gentle rolling hills. Several groups of sheep, approximately a dozen in total, are scattered across this verdant expanse, quietly grazing or standing contemplatively. Their wool appears various shades of off-white and grey, some illuminated by the soft sunlight, others cast in subtle shadow.
Mid-ground features a band of mature trees, their silhouettes softened by the atmospheric light, creating a natural boundary. Behind these trees, glimpses of distant farm buildings with dark roofs can be seen, suggesting human presence and agricultural activity. The background rises into a majestic, rounded small mountain range, shrouded in a hazy, golden light that creates a sense of depth and peaceful remoteness. The sky above is a blend of pale blue and soft, wispy clouds, tinged with the golden hues of the sun, which is obscured but clearly influencing the scene's illumination. A lone, gnarled tree with bare branches stands starkly against the distant hill on the right, adding a touch of rustic character. The overall impression is one of tranquil rural beauty and timeless harmony between nature and livestock.

Good morning Susan! Wishing you a peaceful and beautiful day from les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, a bit windy this morning 🌬️

Coastal scene featuring a two-story house with a dark roof and light walls, nestled among grassy dunes under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, colorful fishing buoys—red, blue, green, orange, yellow, and white—hang from ropes, some marked with numbers like "809" and "201." Utility poles, wires, and a small road with a sign.
