Salford Quays last week at tge Eerie Basin. Looking across the water towards a tall tower block Two black metal poles with chains across form a barrier from the water. On the pathway is a large black cast iron bollard ( not sure if that's the right word) it has an oval shape at the top and a cylindrical piece underneath. It has yellow eyes and a smile sprayed onto it abd looks like the head of ET an alien from the film

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Lighting the Dark" 20"x20" oil on linen (2025). This moody, abstract-leaning seascape painting has a textured, orange-toned, atmospheric sky with textured colors of light on the horizon. Light from the sky reflects in the water below as it meets a dark, rocky, tree-lined coast.

For #BlueSkyArtShow #Gratitude

I'm grateful for the opportunity to paint almost every day, to create moments of light to share with you.

A calm lake surface with low mountains on the horizon, under a pinkish-orange sky, reflected in the water. There are one or two ripples breaking the surface, and a dark triangle at the bottom, rising from left to right, of the bridge the picture is taken from

Morning! Here's an Evening at the Enormous Lagarfljót lake, home to the Wyrm, #Iceland's Nessie - that'll be the ripples that you see in the pic, naturally 🧐 #WeekEforEasyE #AlphabetChallenge #MobilePhotography 📷🇮🇸

A view from underneath a pylon (or transmission tower, if you're that way inclined!) looking up to a clear blue sky. The picture is all squares and triangles, pretty symmetrical

This #pylonporn pic has certainly proved itself a friend in a number of #AlphabetChallenge categories! Well worth lying down in the wet grass for 😂

Ely Cathedral, extraordinarily impressive for quite a small town! Met up with the lovely @robralley.bsky.social there a few weeks back for a nice walk in the baking sun 😎

dramatic morning light rays breaking through the heavy storm clouds onto a dark and nearly deserted beach, in the distance a group of female fishermen pull in a large net by hand... it is indeed back breaking work which they perform for hours every morning with authentic smiles

It really was – nature at its most powerful. 😊

looking out of the car window toward the Oregon Technical Institute from a favorite hiking hill. There are a line of trees with a indistinct lake and mountains in the background. There are faint raindrops on the windshield.

A dramatic black and white photo shows a stark volcanic landscape in Iceland. In the foreground, rough, dark lava rocks cover the ground. In the background, snow patches cling to the slopes of a wide, eroded crater - a long-extinct volcano near the Langjökull glacier. Thick clouds dominate the sky above, with light breaking through in places, casting a moody, almost otherworldly atmosphere across the scene. The image conveys solitude, timelessness, and raw natural power.

Stunned by Iceland’s raw soul. An ancient crater somewhere along Kaldadalsvegur.

#BlackAndWhite photo of a statue of an angel in a cemetery. She is looking down and something she's holding close to her chest. The branches of the trees around her are bare. The air is misty.

I'm grateful for statues in cemeteries. You might say they're peaceful, you might say creepy. I'd say YES! #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Grateful all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments.

A wide, open landscape stretches into the distance under a dramatic sky. A rough dirt track runs straight ahead through a barren, rocky plain, curving slightly toward the horizon. On the right side of the image, the front half of a dark-colored SUV is visible. The land is mostly brown and grey, but there are subtle hints of green in the distance. To the far left, a narrow lake reflects the sky. Above, the sky is vast, filled with textured clouds and sunlight breaking through, creating a powerful sense of space, freedom, and solitude.

Grateful for every road I take. Grateful for the Earth’s beauty. Grateful for this fleeting moment.

Thank you! 😊 🤍💙

I’m grateful for all the beautiful plants Mother Nature created to bring beauty, food, healing, and so much more into our lives. An artichoke, scientifically known as Cynara scolymus, is actually a flower bud of a thistle plant. If left unharvested, it will develop into a beautiful, large, violet-purple flower. Here 4 green Artichoke buds in the background are depicted, with one more artichoke bud in the foreground, that developed into a blooming flower. Its thistle-like flower head has numerous small, purple disk florets in the middle, reminding me a little bit of thin tentacles. The outer layers of the bud are called bracts, which are fleshy, triangular scales that protect the developing flower. The part we eat, before a flower develops, the "heart", is the fleshy receptacle and base of the leaves (bracts) of this immature flower bud. The "choke" is the inedible, fuzzy part on top of the heart

Gratitude & attitude are not challenges, they are choices.

Blick auf das Watt. Im Watt befindet sich eine kleine Grasfläche im Vordergrund, während dahinter auf der Fläche Wasser steht. Zwei Lahnungen, die jeweils unterbrochen sind, ziehen sich durch das Watt. Der Himmel hat viele graue Wolken, aber auch helle Stellen, die im Watt reflektiert werden.

This photo captures a wide and open Icelandic landscape under a bright blue sky. In the foreground, the braided channels of the Hafursá River wind gently through a stony riverbed, reflecting light in shades of silver and pale blue. The riverbanks are a mix of dark volcanic soil and grassy patches in soft green tones. Beyond the river lies a striking, rugged mountain with steep sides and a greenish-brown hue, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and ridges in varying shades of grey and green. In the distance, the white ice cap of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier stretches across the horizon, blanketing the higher mountains with snow. Hidden beneath that glacier is the powerful and unpredictable volcano Katla.

Earth’s Essence.

Black and white. Taken at a junction in the path from beneath the branches of a leafy tree. Beyond the path a large stand of mature, perfectly straight pine trees spreads out to completely fill the view. Beneath the pines ferns and other woodland plants cover the forest floor.

One for #ForestFriday and #ColoraDay on the theme #BWFri

Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK. June 2025

I'd walked through some dense deciduous forest then came across this stand of mature pines.
