On a dark December evening, you never know what #lights you may encounter driving through the Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, MD, where thousand of luminarias bear witness to the bloodiest day in American history. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #ECK #Antietam #BlueSkyArtsShow
The skies and water were #golden during this glorious sunset at Black Hill Regional Park in Maryland. It was a blessing to witness it. #BlueSkyArtShow #BlueSkyArtsShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #ECK #sunsetphotography #lakereflections
I try to carry my camera everywhere I go, including into museums when allowed. This close-up image of #undulating glass sculptures, called "Color Dance", is one of my favorites -- from the Corning Glass Museum. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #ECK #fujifilm #corningglass #linesandcolors
Simplicity is often under-rated by photographers who spend their time seeking a knock-out composition. So I was glad to see today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #minimal. I call this image "Nature's Calligraphy". #BlueSkyArtsShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #ECK #simplicity #calligraphy #fujifilm #fujilove
#Summer is the time for long road trips and quiet evenings at old-time motor courts (that is, when rooms are available). #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #ECK #BlueSkyArtsShow #motorcourt #LincolnHighway #NoVacancy #fujifilm
Out of the #chaos of an ordinary grocery bin of onions, sometimes you may get a glimpse of another world watching you closely. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #aliensinvade #ECK #fujifilm #onionsandaliens #photography #looktwice #producebin
One of the most stunning places on #earth: Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil. Literally hundreds of high and thunderous waterfalls, including ones where you can stand at their brink to marvel at nature. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #Fujifilm #iguazu #waterfalls #ECK
Bass Harbor at dusk is my idea for savoring a beautiful evening and the #water of Maine. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #photography #bassharbor #maine #lobsterbuoys #dusk #MDI
#Big and small: Momma elephant and her baby in South Africa were a highlight of our safari trip. Amazing, playful, souful, and a bit intimidating members of our natural world. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #ECK #elephants #momandbaby #southafrica #safari

The #wide open spaces of America's midwest and west are just a few of the things to cherish on our nation's 250th birthday. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersofBlueSky #ECK #wideopen #ruralroads #lonesomehighway #clouds #midwestbarn #highwaycall #roadgoesonforever
"Mum's the Word" -- Not quite full #macro, but close enough to appreciate their beauty in the morning dew. #BlueSkyArtShow #ECK #flowerphotography #PhotographersofBlueSky #fujilove #morningdew
The architecture of the National Museum of the American Indian looks different -- and beautiful -- from every angle. #BlueSkyArtShow #curve #PhotographersofBlueSky #EastCoastKin #ECK #NMAI #NativeAmericanMuseum #architecturalphotography #washingtondc #organicarchitecture

Looking up at the soaring spires of the Air Force Memorial in Arlington, VA. Stainless steel and over 400 feet high, they dominate the southern skyscape of Washington DC but don't detract from the beauty and scale of other monuments. #BlueSkyArtShow #tall #EastCoastKin #architecture #ECK
Sunrise over the Adirondack Mountains at Lake Placid, New York. Quiet sanctuary, but for the call of the loons. #morning #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #lakeplacid #sunrise #reflections #fujilove

Mysterious abstract I call "Inception". (Actually, just a close-up of some playground equipment in the rain.) #BlueSkyArtShow #Openings #inception #abstractphotography #raindrops #swirls #pastels

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
