🪬🧿 Kelpies, Falkirk, Scotland

#kelpies #falkirk #scotland #sculpture #kelpies #canal #landscape #travel #art #photography #alttext
The Kelpies in Falkirk, Scotland, stand majestically on the horizon, captured in a wide shot under a partly cloudy sky. A serene river flows in the foreground, flanked by grassy banks; canal boats are moored along the bank. The Kelpies, towering horse head sculptures, dominate the midground with their intricate, segmented design. In the distance, the silhouettes of mountains are visible, adding depth to the landscape. A helicopter is flying in the sky.

Elegant orange sunburst #lichen, Rusavskia elegans. This photo was taken at around -40C/F…amazing how they thrive in pretty extreme environments. Northwest Territories, Canada. #fungi #fungifriends.
A very round, orange, crustose lichen is growing flat on light coloured rock. The centre is filled with small round, orange discs…the apothecia.

#Day17

A solitary drake
Rises upright
On the water
And flaps his wings.
He settles back
Into the water
With a tail wag.

Perhaps he too
Has seen the silver
Starshine
Among the grey
And also feels glad
To be alive.

A crooked hawthorn branch stretches out across the towpath. It's berries drip with mist-wet. Cobwebs jeweled silver with dew drape like necklaces. In the background, the canal lies silent, the metallic sheen of first dawn glimmering on its surface.

‘Winter Pastoral’
Artist: SR Badmin
Finally detailed mixed media illustration of a country scene under the light snow. The scene looks down beyond a gate towards a lightly wooded Valley. In the mid ground herd of deer run past watched in the foreground by a cock pheasant

Light all but
fleeting
Raining late
Shining radiance
Upon her gathering
shadows.
I See blooms
The colour of
sunshine.
Radiant
Basking now
Faces turned
Twards the last
of her rays.
A shower of
gold
Hues so blinding
That I recall
summer days
And a life
Spent with you
