I taught English at a public university for 6 years from 2002. Wonderful place. Also remember watching storms on the coast below me on weekends away up high in the Sierra Madre mountains. I'd just started taking digital images with a Canon Powershot. 😁

Super shot Tommy. Brings back memories of working in Huatulco, Mexico, and being mesmerised by ocean storms.

A late evening sandy beach scene, of pastel pinks and blues, showing a glimmer of pink light in the sky and reflected in the wet sand. Shadowed undulations add depth to the beach, and gentle shadow waves line the sea.

Pink and Blue Hour on a Northumberland beach. A hand held long exposure rather than true ICM late one evening, to portray a soft, painterly mood. Just booked a week back here for next February.

Thank you. It's a cool island!

At low tide, sand ripples spread vertically in the foreground along a long white sand beach, with a left-behind shallow pool adding a blue sky reflection in the centre, with a sliver of water running to the sea.

Where better to #relax than a deserted beach. The stunning Backaskaill Bay on the island of #Sanday, #Orkney this August.

Well done Christopher. Thoroughly deserved. Wonderfully atmospheric image.

A view looking down on the Crinan canal, with a few yachts in the basin, showing the curve of the towpath separating the sea inlet from the canal. The small, local hillsides show the trees starting to turn from green to brown in places, but still mostly green.

Still feels like summer here in Dunoon, but foliage starting to turn.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Looking up at tall, thin stalked, dried winter reeds, against a blue sky. The blackened, fluffy seed heads are blowing in the breeze.

Starting the week with #BlueSkyMonday. Dried winter reeds from St Abbs Head trip earlier this year.

To reflect the theme of angles. A group of light coloured, flat topped rocks, at low tide on a sandy beach, form a 45 degree angle in the middle foreground. Minimal waves stretch out to the horizon where the beach ends, topped by fluffy, white clouds.

Thank you Dan. Glad you enjoyed it. 😁

An intentional camera movement image of a coastal scene of blue grey sky, which blends into a white grey sea, and swirling patterns on a dark gold sand beach.

A moody day at Budle Point on the #Northumberland coast last winter. Perfect for an #ICM image.

Close up shot of a freshly revealed patch of green and yellow seaweed. The long fronds, some tipped with bifurcating yellow pods, spread out from a central point at the top corner.

We're used to seeing the brown, dried remains of #seaweed left behind on beaches, but low tide along a rocky shore reveals the wonderful tones and textures when it's freshly revealed.

Beautifully subtle tones Alan.

Love the tones and textures Charles.

Aiming to visit Donegal next year. 😁🤞

Thank you Tim. I'm inspired to buy waterproof clothing. 😁

Particularly expressive pattern on a glorious beach. Great title too!

A summer scene of tidal ridges on a vast white sand beach, with pools of water reflecting the blue sky and white fluffy clouds. Green grass topped low dunes edge expanse of Backaskaill Bay.

Recently returned from a long trip to #Orkney mainland and the small but beautiful island of #Sanday Glorious #BlueSky weather, perfect for strolling empty, white sand beaches.
First edit for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #summer

Really useful to have an insight into your thoughts. Thank you.

I'm into the second week of three weeks away. In the meantime, do enjoy Armand's stunning image. Worth a follow. 👍

That glorious light! Just superb Armand.

Thanks Chloe.

Thank you Jan. Comment appreciated.

Couldn't agree more. ❤️ mountains. I'm very attached to the coast too though. 🤔

Thank you Kim for adding those beautiful words. So appropriate.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not into NFT's or crypto.

Thanks Jim. Appreciated.

Thanks Neil. Appreciate the comment.

Many thanks Scott.
