Bench decked with flowers, and surrounded by trees and fog. Norwich VT, September 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Landscape #ColorADay #BWFri #ClassicMono

This monochrome image shows a bench on a grassy field at the intersection of two dirt roads. The bench appears in the foreground of the image, angling upward from the lower right corner to the left edge of the frame about one third of the way from the bottom edge. It is surrounded and partially covered by small, climbing white flowers and their greenery. Behind the bench in the midground is a stone wall on the left, ending at a tree that rises about one third of the way from the left edge of the frame. Behind this large tree are the dirt roads, then other more distant trees that become progressively more obscured by fog in the distance. The image is finished by a blanket of fog that fills the upper right corner.

Crimson waxcap among the humus and fallen leaves. Upper Ballard Trail, Norwich VT, August 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Nature #ForestFriday #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

This image shows a crimson waxcap mushroom in the woods. The stalk of the mushroom rises about one third of the way from the bottom of the frame and slightly left of center. Its cap occupies the upper left corner and upper middle of the frame. Both the stalk and cap are a bright orangish red, which contrasts sharply with the brown and black humus from which it rises, and which slopes downward from right to left. Immediately to the right of the mushroom is a fallen, decaying, yelow-brown and black leaf. The image is finished by a splash of green from are few stalks of moss at the base of the mushroom, and two much smaller bright red mushrooms below it at the bottom of the frame.

Sunset in Henningsvær, as seen from my hotel window. Lofoten, Norway, August 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Landscape #ColorADay #PinkMon #MountainMonday

This image shows sunset over Henningsvær as seen from my hotel window. Part of the village appears in the central third of the screen, with craggy mountains above it and the multicolored waters of the harbor below. A small outcropping of rock appears in the lower left corner. Above the mountains is the sky, filled with numerous puffy clouds. The sun is setting, and light streams in from the left, finishing the image with hints of pink and orange on the clouds, mountains, village, and waters.

Scarlet tanager examining some berries. Norwich VT, August 2026 As per @alan678.bsky.social's theme of #LightAndShadow for #BirdOfTheDay #ECK #Photography #Nature #Birds #Wildlife

This image shows a non-breeding male scarlet tanager (I think!) perched on a branch and examining some berries. The bird appears a little left and up from the center of the frame, facing toward the viewer with its head down and tail up so that we have an excellent view of its back and tail feathers. The light comes from the left, so its tail is in sunlight and its head in shadow. The branch it's perched on angles down slightly from right to left, and has multiple secondary branches coming off from it. All the branches are covered with leaves and numerous small green berries tinged with red and with red spots at their center. The image is finished with a pleasing green bokeh from distant foliage.

Charles Brown Brook at the changing of the seasons, monochrome version. Thought it was just as nice! Upper Ballard Trail, Norwich VT, August 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Landscape #Nature #ForestFriday #ColorADay #BWFri

This monochrome image shows a view of Charles Brown Brook from above, as summer draws to a close and autumn is just making its arrival. The shallow brook appears in the lower left corner and winds its way to the center of the image before disappearing in the woods. The brook is filled with stones, most noticeably in the foreground, where it is choked with rocks that are themselves decorated with early fallen leaves. In the middle distance, trees rise on both sides of the brook, which vanishes in the distance as a canopy of leaves closes above it at the top of the frame.

Bergen Havn (Port of Bergen) during the Fjordsteam 2026 Festival. Bergen, Norway, August 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #UrbanGaze #AOFoto #SensoryArt #Wheel #ColorADay #YellowThu

This image shows the Bergen Harbor during the midst of the Fjordsteam 2026 Festival, a celebration of Norwegian maritime culture. In the foreground, we see a corner of a dock, including a rusty chain and part of a rubber tire used as a bumper. In the midground is the water of the harbor filled with reflections of a few of the many boats visiting Bergen for the festival. In the background we see the boats themselves along with another dock and rubber tire bumpers. Beyond that are the multicolored buildings of downtown Bergen, which continue up into the surrounding green hills. The image is finished by the appearance of the cloudy summer sky above the entire scene.

#RockinTuesday #ClassicMono Rocks at the base of Morro Rock, California #ECK #MorroRock #Rocks #WestCoastKin #Photography #LandscapePhotography

A stack of smaller rocks (a cairn) sits on top of a bigger rock that is at the base of a really big rock...Morro Rock. Morro Rock is in its own shade as are most of the rocks at the base, but the sun is highlighting the cairn, creating quite a contrast with Morro Rock. A sliver of the ocean is behind Morro Rock, and the sky is clear.

#Minimalism #Architecture The Texas Tower is hardly Houston's tallest #skyscraper, but it looks most like an Inception villain's HQ that'll kill you. #TextureTuesday #UrbanGaze #ECK #StreetPhotography #Photography #Photographers #CityScapes #GeometricShapes #Reflections #ColorADay #BlueTue

A dramatic, ultra-low-angle, upwards-looking, colour, vertical shot of a sleek, modern glass skyscraper in Houston, soaring into a moody sky filled with heavy grey and pockets of blue clouds. It's called the Texas Tower, was designed by Pelli Clarke & Partners (of the famous Pelli), and is only 735-ft tall, so it's far from being the tallest skyscraper in Houston.

Visually, the architectural design, per Google's explanation, "features multiple interlocking vertical geometric blocks wrapped entirely in reflective curtain wall glass, giving the structure a segmented, high-tech appearance. Deep vertical mullions create sharp, contrasting grid lines that accentuate the building's immense height, while a distinct horizontal indentation divides the lower and upper sections."

The building’s dark blue and silver glass facades act like a mirror, dynamically reflecting the swirling clouds and sky, while a neighboring skyscraper is partially visible as a dark reflection on the lower right corner.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ & welcome to your Sunday and one of my poems in the Alt. I call it.. “Navigating Life’s Storm” Please enjoy and have a beautiful day my friends 😌 #ECK #Stunday #ImageAndVerse #Photography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #BlueSkyPoems #BlueSkyPoetry #AltText

After today’s picture description, l have written a poem about my capture.

A tall wooden sailing ship sits moored in a harbour beneath a dramatic, storm-filled sky.

The vessel dominates the foreground, with two towering masts rising towards the clouds, surrounded by a complex web of ropes, rigging and rope ladders.

Its long bowsprit stretches diagonally across the left side of the image, with netting hanging beneath it.

The hull is dark, edged with warm ochre-yellow trim, while a cream-coloured canvas covers part of the deck. The name Jumellen is visible on the side of the ship.

Behind it, other boats rest on choppy, blue-grey water. Along the distant shoreline are dark buildings and trees, silhouetted against the sky.

Heavy charcoal clouds fill most of the scene, but breaks in the clouds allow brilliant shafts of pale light and glowing orange sunlight to reach the horizon.

The contrast between the threatening darkness and the golden light gives the photograph a powerful, cinematic atmosphere, as though the ship is preparing to sail through a storm.

And finally, those picture is for this with a white border frame. And now for my poem..

I call it …Navigating Life’s Storm

When the sea grows wild
and the sky turns black,
keep your hands upon the wheel
and your eyes upon the horizon.

The waves may rise
and the wind may roar,
while darkness hides the distant shore.

But beyond the storm
there is always the possibility
of calmer waters.

Trust your course.
Hold steady.

Let hope be the light
that guides you through the darkness.

For the journey may be difficult,
the waters may be unforgiving,
but you are stronger
than the storm that surrounds you.

One of nature's everyday miracles. Norwich VT, September 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Stunday #Nature #AOFoto

$This image shows a portion of a spiderweb covered with drops of dew and backlit by the morning sun. Part of the center of the web appears in the lower left corner of the frame, and a prominent strand leaves from it there and angles upward to the upper right corner. The background is black, except for some green, yellow and red bokeh mostly in the upper right corner. The droplets of dew can be clearly distinguished; by some trick of the light (refraction of the sun's rays, at a guess) many of them are subtly tinted with the colors of the rainbow. One of nature's many spontaneous decorations that appear where least expected! Nikon Z8 + Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR @ 24 mm, ISO 500, 1/500, f/7.1$

The Monolith in the Vigeland Sculpture Park. Oslo, Norway, August 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #ColorADay #BWFri

This monochrome image shows Vigeland's famous Monolith in the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo. The Monolith is literally carved from a single piece of granite weighing 180 tons (US). It took three sculptors working under Vigeland 14 years to carve, and consists of 121 naked, intertwined, human figures. Vigeland intentionally left its interpretation to individual viewers.

In the image, the sculpture is viewed from its base to emphasize its great height. Its pedestal rises from the base of the image, narrowing sharply as it rises, and occupies the lower half of the image. The sculpture appears above this, rising and narrowing sharply to nearly the top of the image. The image is finished by the appearance of a dramatic, moody cloudscape surrounding the monolith and filling the rest of the frame.
