Late evening pink and blue clouds reflect in a tidal pool on a sandy beach, separated by low level coastal hills.

Last light, West Lewis, for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds

Age is no excuse for lack of empathy or radicalisation. I'm 73, use the Internet but don't believe all I read. Quite the opposite. I'm more critical of MSM. However, don't mean to be sexist, but there a lot of grumpy old men out there with no hobbies or friends.

Couldn't resist a repost from a year ago for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds
New images later. Love clouds. ❤️

Gorgeous Velvia colours Dave. 🤩

Brilliant! 😎 Thanks for posting these. I'm heading to Bamburgh area mid-Feb for a week. 🤞for strong alerts/ clearer night skies

Thank you. I just love Harris and Lewis. ❤️ Different patterns along Luskentyre every time.

A close-up abstract maze of intricate patterns and ridges, formed by the dark silt of the outflowing river, across the golden sand beach at low tide.

Amazing patterns left behind as the tide goes out on Seilebost beach, #Harris

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light.

Quite glad that the big story in British politics is whether Andy Burnham will apply to stand in a by-election and not people being gunned down by state militias.

Solidarity with Minnesotans resisting this barbarity.

Thank you Luis. Glad you like it.

A black and white image with splashes of snow on rounded hills. In the background, the snow crevassed, rocky aspect of Ben Nevis rises to a dark sky with sun lighting up some clouds.

I'm a septagenarian, so far watched 3 episodes. Bit bored at times. I keep meaning to continue but find better things to do! 😂

Definitely misspelt! No peace either, just mafia style, real estate/money grabbing to monetise Gaza, replace the UN, and gain billions for Trump's Qatar account.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 😁

Happy you like it. I love the colours and abstaction of rocks, wouldn’t be everyone's choice mind. Thanks for repost of ICM Hebrides image, and very happy for you to make a collage of my images. Cheers! 😊🙏

A view across a low-tide beach with blue sea and gentle waves curving over the river outlet, looking across to sunlit snow capped hills, and a stormy sky.

So lucky to be in #Harris when snowstorms arrived last November. Looking across to the Harris hills from Seilebost.

This cockroach of a man was nauseating to watch. 🤮 Weak, servile, smarmy, with no opinions of his own. Weird no real facial expressions, talks from a tiny mouth - botoxed? 😶

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

Excellent as always. It must be exhausting keeping up with such continued farce?

Thank you for non paywall.

The silhouette of a lone walker and dog at sunset strolling along a sandy beach at low tide. The vibrant yellow/orange sunset sky lights up the wet sands into various shades of bright orange, highlighting the patterns and ridges of the sandy beach in the foreground.

One of those winter sunsets reflecting on the wet sands at Woolacombe Bay, North Devon.

Thank you Marjo. Glad you like it.

Thank you Jilly. It's a stunning little island.

A mix of white sand and stones, and sparse long grasses in the foreground. Large dunes stretch to the horizon with calm, blue water either side. The sky is blue with occasional light cloud. There aren't many other places in Orkney like Tresness & Cata Sand. The beach itself is part of a thin peninsula, splitting a sheltered tidal bay, and the North Sea. Backed by huge dunes, the white sand carries on northwards up the coast of the Bay of Newark. Cata Sand is the name given to the tidal lagoon behind the dunes. This flat, sandy plain quickly fills with water when the tide comes in.

If your home is covered in snow, or battered by wind, here's a reminder of warmer days. Taken last August on the island of #Sanday #Orkney #Scotland
The beautiful Tres Ness peninsula, a narrow white sand dune strip separates a tidal lagoon from the North Sea.

So weak, so disappointed in Starmer and current government.

Fantastic achievement. Great community, great fun, and motivational. Many thanks.
