The image shows a great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus) swimming on greenish water.
The water surface is slightly wavy and reflects the bird, which is looking to the left.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about #Grebes and the alternative Bird Finches.

I have a great crested grebe for you 🪶

The image is a black-and-white photograph showing a branch with dried, curled leaves. The branch is sharply focused in the foreground, while the background is blurred and consists of other branches and twigs. The leaves are spiralled around the branch.

The picture shows a tree-lined avenue with broad trunks and autumn foliage. The leaves are coloured in various shades of yellow, green and brown. A few fallen leaves lie scattered on the ground.
The path runs through the middle of the picture and leads into the distance. Light falls from above through the trees and illuminates the path.
At the end of the path, a single person can be seen moving away from the viewer. The end of the avenue is brightly lit, creating a stark contrast to the shadier foreground.

The image shows two people in elaborate Venetian carnival costumes and masks standing on a wooden walkway. The photo is in black and white and captures a mysterious atmosphere. 
The two people are the focus of the image. The person on the left is wearing a dark, floor-length costume with a cape and a crown decorated with feathers. The person on the right is also dressed in a dark, detailed dress adorned with chains and pearls. Both wear elaborate masks covering their entire faces with dramatic eye areas and feather decorations.
In the background, the waters of Venice can be seen with several gondolas moored to wooden posts. The silhouette of the city of Venice is recognisable, including a church and the Campanile di San Giorgio Maggiore.

This week, #SensoryArt is all about #masks
Venetian masks are particularly beautiful.

It's #Scape Friday, enjoy!

The image shows Voidokilia Bay, a crescent-shaped bay on the Ionian Sea in the Messinia region of the Peloponnese in Greece.
 Green bushes and plants growing on a hill can be seen in the lower part of the image.
The main part of the image is taken up by the bay. Voidokilia Bay is surrounded by a golden sandy beach that forms a perfect semicircle. The water is light blue near the shore and turns turquoise further out. A few people can be seen on the strip of sand that separates the bay from the water behind it.
Behind the strip of sand lies the Gialova Lagoon, a nature reserve. Behind it stretches a hilly landscape, and in the distance, mountains are visible under a blue sky with a few white clouds.

The image shows a person wearing an elaborate, elegant costume from the Venetian carnival. The person is wearing a mask that covers their face and a large hat decorated with feathers. The costume is in bold shades of purple and pink.
The figure is standing on a wooden walkway by the water, surrounded by the typical wooden posts to which gondolas are moored. In the background, you can see the Grand Canal and Venice's characteristic architecture, including historic buildings and a church with a dome.

The picture shows a young, sand-coloured kitten sitting on rocky ground at the edge of a body of water. The kitten has large, pointed ears and is looking down with its eyes closed. The blue surface of the water can be seen in the background.

Two mute swans can be seen in a body of water. Both are preening their feathers and have twisted their long necks. Rocks lie on the left side of the picture.

A paved promenade runs along the edge of the picture. On the right-hand side, there is a row of red chairs and tables with beige parasols. Several people are sitting at the tables in the sun, enjoying the view. The left-hand side of the picture is in shadow.
The turquoise sea is calm and clear. A small boat can be seen on the shore.
A large mountain range stretches across the entire width of the picture. The sky is cloudless and bright blue.

The picture shows a sunset at the sea. The sun bathes the sky in a warm, golden light that is reflected on the surface of the water. A woman with a dog can be seen as silhouettes on the beach. A dark hilly landscape can be seen in the background.

Several seagulls are sitting in a row on a perch. They are all looking in the same direction as if they are waiting for something.

The picture shows two light pink to violet-pink flowers of the musk mallow (Malva moschata). The petals are delicate and slightly indented. The leaves of the plant are deeply cut and appear filigree. In the background, purple inflorescences of lavender or a similar plant can be seen blurred.

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of the sea, in which the reflection of the sun on the water's surface is strongly emphasised.
A rocky breakwater protrudes from the water.
Two small birds can be seen on the rocks.
The image is high-contrast, which emphasises the glittering surface of the water.

The picture shows a picturesque bay with clear, turquoise water that deepens to a darker blue. On the shore of the bay is a small village with white and ochre-coloured houses nestled against a wooded hill. Several small boats are anchored in the water. On the right-hand side of the picture, you can see a promenade with a few parked cars.

The image shows the ancient theatre of Epidaurus in Greece, which is considered one of the best-preserved Greek theatres. The theatre was built in the 4th century BC and is part of the archaeological site of the Asklepieion of Epidaurus, an ancient sanctuary. 
It is famous for its exceptional acoustics, which make it possible to hear a coin dropped on the stage even from the top rows. 
The theatre could seat up to 14,000 spectators and was used for theatrical performances and religious festivals.
