Thought I'd give #bluesky a go.
I am here, what now? *peers into the void expectantly*

Is it possible to normalise being positive/nice across society - here's hoping! #joyscrolling

Here's a shot I took looking West across the Hudson River in NYC.

A waterfall falling over a rocky cliff with a forest to the right of it, and a high rocky cliff to the left with a lodge that has several windows. The sky is bright and pale above.

For #WaterfallWednesday, I've got Goðafoss, one the premier #Iceland waterfalls. You'll find a lot of photos of it, partially for its beauty and partially for its ease of access.
#photography #waterwednesday #waterfallswednesday #waterfalls

This is Goðafoss which means "Waterfall of the Gods". It is a wide, horseshoe-shaped waterfall in northern Iceland. It isn't very tall 12m/39ft but it is very pretty. It is on Skjálfandafljót river.

“Gravity in Rebellion”

Wind so fierce it sent the waterfalls back skyward on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula

#EastCoastKin #Photography #LandscapePhotography #WaterfallWednesday #Iceland #Fujifilm #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

The image shows a windswept Icelandic mountainside on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Sheets of water spill from the cliffs but are violently whipped upward by 70-mph gusts, dissolving into mist that streaks sideways across the sky. The grass glows a saturated green beneath a brooding gray cloud deck, where low light and rain blur the ridges into atmospheric haze. At the base of the slope, a small white farmhouse and a dark patch of trees provide scale and stillness — the only signs of shelter in an otherwise untamed landscape. The scene feels both magnificent and precarious, capturing nature in open defiance of its own rules.

Roadside waterfall on a misty #autumn day.
#WaterfallWednesday #ColorADay #RedWed #31DaysofHalloween #trees #rocks #EastCoastKin #photography #landscape #PhotographersofBluesky

A waterfall flows white over gray granite rocks. Its path is lined by colorful autumn leaves of yellow, orange, and red with evergreens interspersed. The day is gray and misty, softening the distant trees. This is in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire US.

Storm Amy brought the drama to Hardraw Force this weekend - it never fails to impress after heavy rain. England’s tallest single-drop waterfall was in full roar - a 100-foot cascade thundering into Hardraw Beck below.

Aros Park Upper Falls, near Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, Scotland (September 2025)
Spectacular in full spate.
#arospark #isleofmull #hebrides #scotland #nature #trees #rivers #rocks #geology #photography #eastcoastkin

A waterfall view at Aros Park Upper Falls near Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, Scotland on a bright September day.
The Aros Burn in full spate cascades over the crest of the waterfall and down the rock face until it tumbles over many large boulders at the bottom as it makes its way downstream.
In the background, behind and above the falls are pine trees.
The sky is blue with thin white clouds.

I do not know how to put words
To the experience of you
Other than to describe
The sensations invoked

(Full #poem in alt text)

(photo is a long exposure capture of a waterfall cascading through a lush forest, just as autumn begins to cause the leaves to fall)

Poem continued…

You are like nothing before
The peace and calm
That beckons
Like the soft light of the moon

You are a joyous
Melody that is sung
Rising from little
songbirds whose voices now bloom

You are patience and understanding
The slow
birth of tenderness
Yearning for the warmth of day

You are a kindness
A soul full of compassion
When the world
Falls into meaningless disarray

You are a gentle light
Whispering through
silent shadows
Capturing giggles of hidden fae

You are a beautiful darkness
And all things
That fill it
Calling seductively for me to play

You are
My lovely fears walking
A worthy heartbreak
Waiting for my love to display

You are …

In moments like this, nature reminds us how small we truly are — and how fragile the illusion of control has always been.

#Iceland 🇮🇸 #Dettifoss

#ThePhotoHour #StormHour

A powerful, wide waterfall cascades with immense force over a rocky cliff - the Dettifoss in northern Iceland. In the foreground, a group of small human figures stands on a grassy ledge, dwarfed by the roaring wall of water in front of them. The black-and-white composition emphasizes the contrast between the textured flow of the falls and the stillness of the onlookers, highlighting both the raw power of nature and the humility of human presence.
