#TextureTuesday A 64-ft wall of liquid crystal elegance, glittering in the sunlight, & its watchful 909-ft #skyscraper guardian. (More in Alt-Text.) #BlueSkyMonday #Architecture #UrbanGaze #ECK #ColorADay #BlueTue #WaterfallWednesday #Photography #Photographers #StreetPhotography #Cityscapes

Photo of the famous Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park next to the tall 909-ft tall Williams Tower skyscraper in Houston. The waterfall is 64-foot tall curved fountain that cascades 11,000 gallons of water per minute. Both were built by the Pritzker-award winning architect Philip Johnson w/ John Burgee in the early 1980s.

Visually, this is a vertical, low-angle shot emphasizing the dramatic architectural contrast between a modern, reflective skyscraper and the textured, organic surfaces of an adjacent water wall structure under a bright blue sky. On the left, the towering 909 ft tall, blue glass skyscraper, known as the Williams Tower, rises sharply into the frame, its grid-like facade reflecting soft white clouds and the deep blue sky above. (This is the skyscraper that has a cat design & cat tail secretly built into its design by the cat-loving architect, Johnson.)

To the right, the massive concrete walls of the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park stretch upward at a slight angle, featuring vertical channels covered in cascading sheets of water that create a heavily textured, gray appearance, framed by warm, tan-colored concrete ridges. The composition emphasizes the grand scale of both structures, drawing the eye upward where a few leafy tree branches peek into the upper-left corner against the stark blue sky.

You embarked on a Tuesday morning. No trumpets heralding your leaving. Or fireworks breaking the sky apart,much like my heart. I watched your breath decide it would be your last. There were no vivid blue skies lighting your way. It was as though all the colours had been drained from my day. #vss365

I was driving up the Million Dollar Byway and came across this beautiful bit of color that was too beautiful to pass up. I took about 50 photos there is the light went in and out due to the passing clouds. #EastCoastKin #Scape #Photography #WestCoastKin #fallfiage #LandscapePhotography #Art #Leica

"Oh my god. I forgot to put deodorant on today. DURING MATING SEASON. I'm such a knob." #BirdOfTheDay #CaptionThatBird #Stunday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKForKn #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #birds #photography

A male violet-green swallow perched on a thin branch with his head tucked under his open wing, as if he's sniffing his armpit. He has a white belly and lower face, a dark cap, and iridescent green on the top of his wings leading to a violet color. There are thin, bare branches below him and in the top left corner. The background is blurred lime green leaves with a bit of blue sky.

The Grand Tetons are spectacular any time of the year, but I really enjoy them when the season turns to fall, with the cooler temperatures, #golden colors, and excellent wildlife viewing. #BlueSkyArtShow #GrandTeton #Wyoming #Autumn #CareforCreation #landscapephotography

#BlueskyArtShow #Golden Dew drops hanging from a bent over stalk of decaying wild fennel. #ECK #Macro #Fennel #Photography

A decaying stalk of wild fennel is bent over, all of its blossoms gone with only the skeleton remaining. Dew drops and tiny cobwebs hang from the skeleton, golden due to the blurred background of dried grasses. There are tiny water droplets hanging from the cobwebs. The flower stalks are a light, golden brown.

#BlueskyArtShow #Curve #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforXyloid Morro Bay State Park Boardwalk and estuary. #ECK #hiking #MorroBay #ClassicMono #WestCoastKin #Boardwalk #Estuary #LandscapePhotography

A wooden boardwalk over the estuary is front and center, then it curves to the left out of sight, also blending with small bodies of water in the estuary. It’s a hazy day, so the curves of the hills and mountains in the distance are fainter and layered. The black and white treatment accentuates the contrasts between the light boardwalk and light reflecting on the water versus the dark vegetation growing in the estuary. Morro Bay, California

One of the perks of #travel is encountering different languages and learning how connected they can be to what you already know. Dutch for example can be completely opaque. Or it can be as obvious as "eethuis" = "eating house". #classicmono #bruges #belgium

Vertical black and white picture of a street scene in Bruges Belgium with a restaurant sign reading "DE BRON
VEGETARISCH EETHUIS" which is easily understandable even for readers who don’t know Dutch.
