In dunklen Herbstzeiten
können Worte wärmende Lichter sein:
Denn jeder Gruß
jedes Zeichen,
jeder kleinste Gedanke
an einen anderen,
kann eine Sonne entfachen,
die von innen strahlt
und die Welt erhellt ♥️

Habt einen wunderschönen Abend, mit ganz viel Wärme ✨🔥✨🫶🏼

Six #Ibises #Paddling for #BirdOfTheDay

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday🌊

#WingsWednesday #WaterWednesday #EastCoastKin #TheWildImages #birds #birding #birdphotography #photography #photographersofbluesky #AtlanticOcean #Florida

6 white Ibises with orange beaks and legs walk toward the ocean in shallow blue shore water, their reflections below them. In the mid-ground are several white Seagulls in more blue ocean water. Tide pools relecting (unseen) buildings and the white foam and blue water of small breaking waves make up the background.

This is a macro photograph of a single, delicate white flower of Anthericum or a spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), positioned slightly off-center in the frame. The flower is the main subject, captured with a shallow depth of field that blurs the background and foreground elements, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the blossom itself.
The flower has six narrow, elongated petals, or perianth segments, which are a translucent white and covered in a fine layer of water droplets, catching the light and adding a sparkling texture. These petals are arranged radially around a central point, curving slightly outwards and downwards at their tips. The surface of the petals has a subtle, almost velvety texture visible in the high-resolution detail.
From the centre of the flower, six bright yellow-orange anthers extend on thin, white filaments, creating a star-like pattern. The anthers are plump and vibrant, providing a strong contrast against the pale petals. The central part of the flower also shows a faint green hue at the base of the petals and filaments.
Above the main flower, several other buds and spent blossoms are visible on a thin, green stem. Two of the buds are still tightly closed, appearing as small, pale green or off-white teardrop shapes. Another, higher up, appears to be a faded, withered blossom, its petals shriveled and brownish, indicating the life cycle of the plant.
To the left of the flower, a large, out-of-focus leaf or stem rises vertically through the frame, its surface a smooth, pale green with a visible central vein. The background is a soft, deep blue-grey, completely blurred into a smooth wash of colour that provides a cool, muted backdrop, allowing the bright, detailed flower to stand out prominently. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the delicate features of the plant without casting harsh shadows. The overall mood is one of tranquility and natural beauty, with a focus on the fine details of the botanical subject.

This is a black and white vertical photograph of a multi-lane highway at dusk, captured from an elevated perspective of a bridge. The road stretches into the distance, converging towards a vanishing point. The image is bisected by a prominent central divider, which features a tall, modern streetlamp pole with two bright, glowing lights, one facing each direction of traffic. The lights create a starburst effect and cast a strong glow, illuminating the immediate area.
The sky is dramatic and heavily clouded, with darker storm clouds dominating the upper portion of the frame. There are patches of lighter sky visible, suggesting the last remnants of daylight or a break in the clouds. The overall mood is moody and intense due to the high contrast and dark tones.
Traffic is visible in both directions. The cars in the foreground are slightly blurred, indicating movement and a long exposure time. On the left side of the road, vehicles are traveling away from the viewer, while on the right, they are moving towards the viewer. The motion blur is more pronounced on the cars closer to the camera, giving a sense of speed and dynamism. The headlights and taillights of the vehicles are visible as streaks of light, further emphasising the flow of traffic.
Dense foliage, consisting of trees and bushes, lines both sides of the highway, creating a natural boundary and framing the road. The texture of the asphalt, the painted lane markers, and the guardrails are all sharply rendered, adding to the detailed quality of the image. The composition is symmetrical, with the central divider and streetlamp acting as a strong vertical axis, drawing the eye down the length of the road. The overall effect is a powerful and atmospheric depiction of modern transportation and infrastructure.

Have a splendid #RoseWednesday

After a battering from the rains this lovely rose is coming out of the shadows this morning, encouraged by some sun and blue skies.

Years ago, when there was more snow in the mountains (most of the time). The view is near Oberjoch, German Alps.

#travelphotography #MountainMonday #Alps #Germany #Winter

From a summit cross in the German Alps we are looking southeast over the valley of Oberjoch towards the higher mountains further south. The landscape is covered with snow, the region is offering lots of winter sports.

Standing Mountain

@standingmountain.bsky.social

An ontological radiance that breathes through our finite gestures..

In its depths, strength is not opposed to fragility, for both emerge from the same source.

The rhythm of that eternal vitality adapting itself in circumstance; to sense the infinite from which all worlds were sung into motion.
