The 18th century Pulteney Bridge across the river Avon in Bath. One of only a handful of bridges to feature shops across its full span. In the foreground, a V-shaped weir across the river, white water cascading to the lower section of the river. Blue sky with wispy white clouds above

A photo of Nuptse at sunset, its steep icy face glowing orange as wind sweeps a plume of illuminated spindrift from the summit, turning the mountain into a towering flame against the deepening sky.

This striking landscape photograph captures a dramatic moment during sunrise dominated by a vibrant, colour-saturated sky and stark silhouettes. The horizon is ablaze with an intense burst of light, a brilliant yellow and orange glow emanating from the unseen sun just below the ridge line. This light source creates a powerful contrast with the surrounding atmosphere, which transitions from warm, fiery hues near the horizon to deep, brooding shades of purple, indigo, and cobalt blue in the upper left portion of the frame. Wispy clouds are illuminated from below, catching the light and adding texture to the dynamic sky, while heavier, darker cloud masses hang above, contributing to the dramatic and almost ethereal atmosphere. The entire foreground and middle ground of the image are rendered in complete silhouette, a consequence of shooting directly into the bright light source. A rugged, dark terrain of a mountain slope, dominates the lower half of the photograph. The texture of the ground is hinted at by subtle variations in the dark mass, showing loose earth, rocks, and uneven surfaces. Two human figures are positioned on a ridge in the middle ground, perfectly silhouetted against the bright sky. They appear to be walking or standing, perhaps pausing to observe the natural spectacle. The figure on the left is slightly taller and broader, while the figure on the right is marginally smaller, possibly a second adult or a younger person. Their forms are defined only by their outlines, adding a sense of mystery and scale to the vast landscape. The composition effectively uses the strong horizontal line of the ridge to separate the dark earth from the luminous sky, drawing the viewer's eye towards the light source and the small human elements within the expansive natural setting. The overall effect is one of awe-inspiring natural beauty and the quiet contemplation of the moment.

Palladian Bridge, Prior Park, Bath #stunday #photography #EastCoastKin
One of four remaining Palladian architecture bridges consisting of steps with balustrade to the central part of the bridge which has arches over the water below of varying heights and widths. The archers and base of the bridge are reflected in the water below. The top part of the bridge features tall columns and arches, with a triangular gabled roof structure. Green hillside and trees can be seen on the far side of the bridge. A blue sky with a couple of small wispy white clouds completes the picture

Pretty successful week of first watches - an early Spielberg that had so far escaped me, a fun Weta Workshop gore-fest, a film that absolutely lived up to the hype and a fun "one-shot" Hitchcock. #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky #moviesky

Royal Palace, Oslo #palacesandgardens theme: #people #photography #EastCoastKin
Approaching the royal palace in Oslo on foot from Karl Johan's gate. In the foreground, a number of people are walking up and down the road leading to the palace. The road is mainly in shade from the trees alongside the road. Further in the distance, in the sunshine, the yellow painted palace building is framed on either side by the trees, its central part with 6 columns and arches beneath stand behind a statue of King Karl Johan on horseback. A blue sky with fluffy white and grey clouds can be seen above the palace

A black and white photo capturing the Oculus’s sweeping ribs converging toward a dramatic V-shaped corridor of light, with small figures below adding scale to the towering, cathedral-like structure. A black and white photo showing the Oculus’s curved ribs stacking rhythmically upward, creating a flowing, wave-like architectural pattern beside the vertical glass panels.

A fierce orange dawn breaks across the horizon,softening into a pale yellow. A cold surrender.
The rising warmth and the remnants of winter captures the fragile balance,a quiet emblem of endurance, where the promise of morning meets yesterday’s memories. #photography #sunrise

Tokyo Tower #ColorADay #RedWed #photography #EastCoastKin
A photo of the red and white Tokyo Tower taken very close to the base, looking up. The latticed red metal structure, similar in structure to the Eiffel Tower, ascends to a point at the top. There is a large white viewing platform with a red base about two thirds of the way up, and a smaller round viewing platform much closer to the top. Through the middle of the structure, two tall pillars in red and white. Blue sky

Trollstigen, Norway - U shaped valley #AlphabetChallenge
#WeekVforVowel #photography #EastCoastKin
The Trollstigen (troll steps) mountain road snakes its way down the mountain from left to right through hairpin bends, until it finally levels out on the valley floor alongside the river that flows down from the mountaintop as a waterfall. The road can be seen crossing above the waterfall in the bottom right of frame. Either side of the valley, tall rocky mountains give way to green shrubbery , stretching far into the distance. Deep blue sky tops the frame.

#Bloomscrolling
A monochrome photograph focusing on a delicate Geranium flower, captured in high-contrast. The composition is dominated by a single, fully bloomed flower positioned slightly to the right of the vertical center in the lower half of the frame. The flower's five petals are the main focal point, appearing translucent due to strong backlighting. This lighting technique emphasises the intricate network of fine veins that radiate across each petal, creating a luminous and ethereal quality. The petals seem to glow against the darker elements of the scene. Beneath the petals, the sepals and the central reproductive parts of the flower are visible as darker, more opaque shapes. A slender stem supports the bloom, extending downwards into a cluster of other elements. In the very bottom portion of the image, several other buds and seed pods of the plant are present. Some of these are in focus, while others are softly blurred, adding depth to the foreground. The background is characterised by a shallow depth of field, resulting in a smooth, abstract bokeh effect. It consists of a gradient of deep grays and blacks, completely devoid of discernible details. This dark, soft background effectively isolates the main subject, drawing the viewer's eye directly to the brightly lit flower and enhancing its delicate structure. The overall mood of the photograph is quiet, intimate, and dramatic, showcasing the fragile beauty of the natural subject through the monochromatic lens. The grayscale palette removes the distraction of colour, forcing an appreciation for form, texture, light, and shadow. The contrast between the sharp, bright subject and the soft, dark background creates a powerful visual impact. The flower appears almost suspended in darkness, a beacon of natural detail and form. The various stages of growth, from tight buds to the open bloom, suggest a natural cycle captured in a single, evocative frame.
