Blue tit high up in the tree all puffed up. Blue sky and the branches in the background give a pinkish "glow".

#MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday The mountains of Ou'Hai district, Wenzhou, China under a blue sky. The university where I work and the apartments where I live are to the left of the image. #China

A panoramic view of the mountains of Ouhai, Wenzhou, China, seen from a mountainside at sunset. Tree branches and leafy plants frame the foreground, while the city spreads out below in the valley. On the left side of the image, clusters of apartment buildings where I live and the university campus where I work are visible. The mountain range stretches across the horizon in soft blue silhouettes beneath a warm, fading sky.

A photograph taken of a recessed window within a contemporary art gallery. Walls of cream and sill of warm light brown wood. Through which can be seen net drying buildings that look like elongated (vertically so nets can be hung) black wooden huts. Beyond which is the cliff which is accessed via a funicular railway visible also. Behind which the sky is the brightest of blue streaked with very modest white clouds or vapour trails. The blue of the sky and the buttery cream of the walls talk to each other so very well. On the sill is from memory a survey I’d been asked to fill back in spring.

Sunshine and blue sky on the North Sea coast.
#eastcoastkin #blueskymonday #tidesouttuesday

Din flacher Strandabschnitt an der Nordsee bei ruhigem Wasser und leichtem Wellengang. Im Vordergrund liegen verstreut rundliche Schaumbälle auf dem nassen Sand. Der Horizont verläuft gerade, der Himmel ist klar und blau. Im Hintergrund in weiter Ferne stehen Menschen auf dem Strand, der ins Wasser ragt.

#BlueSkyMonday but not sky, sea fog and blue cloud two minutes before sunrise
#photography #landscape #cloudscape #fog #blue #gift #EastCoastKin

A heavily clouded sky moments before sunrise. High up, the usual light pinks and yellows are diffusing through the cloud layer, but lower down near the horizon some dense banks of low cloud are improbably blue, and appear untouched by the imminent sun. The lowest cloud layer is actually sea fog. In the foreground are a number of eucalypts, and beyond them a wooded and hilly plain stretches down to the invisible coastline, shrouded in fog.

Fiddlehead ferns in bright early summer sun. The sky is clear and blue. The tops of the ferns are spirals, unfolding slowly.
