A concrete staircase rises up and to the right underneath exotic branches of fruits and seeds... This beautifully complex and decorative garden that wraps its way up to an isolated and peaceful temple shrine at the top of the mountain is one of the surprising delights within the expansive and majestic Ba Na Hills park complex

Approaching the royal palace in Oslo on foot from Karl Johan's gate. In the foreground, a number of people are walking up and down the road leading to the palace. The road is mainly in shade from the trees alongside the road.  Further in the distance, in the sunshine, the yellow painted palace building is framed on either side by the trees, its central part with 6 columns and arches beneath stand behind a statue of King Karl Johan on horseback. A blue sky with fluffy white and grey clouds can be seen above the palace

Star trails over Colpoy's Bay on the Bruce Peninsula, Ontario. A 73 minute exposure. I stopped when clouds started obscuring the stars.

An arched window frame divided into 20 smaller mostly rectangular panes (apart from at the top at the arch looking out onto an empty crazy-paved stone patio.  Beyond the patio the land drops away and a calm sea can be seen, reflecting the morning sunlight.  The sun is nearly breaking through the mostly overcast sky. To the left of the frame, beyond the patio, trees.

Blue spotlights at a music venue. Each light projects a blue cone of light downwards. Strings of LED ball lights can also be seen hanging from the ceiling

Headed to Underworld at Audley End. It's humid AF and threatening to rain but also really warm and due to be full-on sunny later. I am dressed for all the weathers. Gotta love open-air UK summer gigs ๐Ÿ˜‚

A fiery dawn at St. Marys Lighthouse in the UK.

A fiery dawn at St. Marys Lighthouse in the UK.

Crimson threads in silence spun.
Stretch across the waking sun.
The sea reflects in molten gold.
A lighthouse keeps its promise bold.
Shadows flee with fading night.
Each stone glows with morning light.

A close-up macro photograph of a bumblebee perched on a lavender flower. The beeโ€™s fuzzy black body is banded with bright yellow-orange stripes, and its translucent wings are slightly blurred in motion. Its long proboscis extends deep into the lavenderโ€™s small, tubular purple blossoms to collect nectar. The lavender flower head is composed of tightly packed buds, some still closed and others open, revealing delicate, five-lobed petals with soft purple and pinkish hues. The beeโ€™s segmented legs cling to the flower, and fine hairs on its body glisten in the sunlight. The background is a smooth blur of green, emphasizing the sharp details of the bee and flower in the foreground.

Black and white photo of the Tulip Stairs in the Queenโ€™s House, Greenwich. This view is underneath the circular staircase, looking up. It is dark around the edges with a spiral of light that leads to a window, a circle of light with a dark center and spokes.
