Ein befestigter Weg verläuft links an einem Feld und rechts an Bäumen vorbei. Direkt am Weg links ist hohes Gras, am Feldrand steht ein Strommast. Dahinter befinden sich Bäume und Windräder. Der Himmel ist dramatisch grau bewölkt, der Horizont ist lachsfarben.

This piano is now in the Queens College Studio and was owned by my teacher. I took lessons on this piano as a young adult.

everybody’s moon

October’s moon rises soft and low in the sky’s pastel marsh where we stand amidst the green gold grass

If the state of the world is getting you down, change your altitude. 🥶

Two workers standing in front of Mount Robson, in the Canadian Rockies. The sky is blue with a few clouds, and the snow covered mountain is surrounded by trees.

autumn comes calling

Looking upriver to the east on the Santiam river as fall colors start to take over. The pinkish colors of the clouds and sky reflecting back off the water. A few rocks in the river down on the right. The tree lined north bank showing a fair amount of golden leaves

You can overcome fears, you just have to believe in yourself! 🫶

From my hike in the Vikos Aoos National Park in Greece (UNESCO World Heritage)

#RockinTuesday #photography #landscape #scape #nature #travel #thelittlethings #photohour #roadtrip #vanlife #EastCoastKin

The image shows a landscape view of the Vikos Gorge in Greece. Large gray rocks can be seen in the foreground. The image is dominated by the steep, rugged cliffs of the gorge, which are covered with sparse vegetation. The rock formations display various shades of gray and light beige to brownish tones. In the background, more forested mountains stretch under a dramatic, cloud-covered sky. The clouds are in different shades of gray and white, allowing glimpses of blue sky to peek through.

In the center, a large tree with branches covered in moss and in the background the tombs and the church of the Campo Santo of Ghent, Belgium.
Campo Santo is a famous Roman Catholic public burial ground in Sint-Amandsberg.

Un aratro rosso e in parte arrugginito e una catasta di tronchi ammassati alla rinfusa si trovano l'uno opposto all'altra ai margini di una radura. Sullo sfondo, il bosco sulla collina è sovrastato da una nuvola che per effetto del tramonto è di colore rosa.

I've shot well over a thousand concerts but none bigger for me than getting to stand a few feet from my idol with a camera in my hands. We lost #EddieVanHalen five years ago and it still stings. #Photography 🎹🎸

There was a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks in the back yard trying to attack Owliver a little while ago. I would never intervene but I did go stand about 10 feet from Owliver just to sort of to let them know he's not on the menu! When they flew away he seemed to thank me for having his back. #birds

Americans are so completely gaslighted about health care. The image they have is so dead-wrong. If everyone pays just a small percentage of their income, there is health care for everyone, without there being huge bills to pay, when it comes to needing it! 🤷🏼‍♀️
