The setting sun glows  on the leading edge of scattered clouds. Offset by a deep blue sky, the clouds glow in neon hues of hot pink.

"Embracing Peace," also known as "Unconditional Surrender," is a large sculpture by J. Seward Johnson located in San Diego's Tuna Harbor Park, near the USS Midway Museum, depicting the famous V-J Day kiss in Times Square. Originally a temporary installation, public support led to its permanent placement, with the name "Embracing Peace" adopted to be more inclusive, though it remains famous as the "Kissing Statue" recreating the iconic 1945 photograph from the end of World War II.

A cemetery covered with snow. A concrete angel bows her head in the foreground with a bare tree and tombstones in the distance.

Early morning departure. An airplane window frames a glowing sunrise above purple clouds. The plane's wing and engine catch the morning light.

This was my very first post on BlueSky over a year ago. This particular bottle was being chilled for election night 2024. For a lot of us, that night turned out to be anything but celebratory. It has been difficult over the last year to escape politics, but this platform has been a welcome distraction. It has shown me beautiful work of amateur photographers just like me. The BlueSkyArtShow tag has been an inspiration, a challenge and just downright fun. And I am grateful to this community of artists for sharing and encouraging visual art on all levels. Keep creating and sharing. You have all made this last year intriguing and so entertaining.

A winter storm sends rolling waves onto shore, with sea grass in the foreground. Late afternoon sun tints clouds with an orange hue in a light blue sky. Purple islands contrast with the turquoise sea.
