Abstract.

Abstracted photo looking down on a blue plastic (oil?) drum that has badly corroded & melted in places. A large crack in the plastic reveals the dark interior which looks deep blue. A curving thin branch on the top of the drum frames the photo.

A wide landscape photograph captures a range of snow-capped mountains at dusk, viewed across a body of water from a silhouette-lined shore. The peaks of the mountains are illuminated by a warm, golden sunset glow, while their bases and the foreground remain in deep shadow. Above the mountains, a vast, hazy sky transitions from a soft orange near the horizon to a moody, muted purple and grey. In the lower foreground, the dark outlines of rooftops and a modern, arched building structure are visible against the water. The overall composition is serene and atmospheric, with a strong horizontal focus on the light hitting the mountain ridge.

Did we have sunsets yet?🤔
My last one for this week.
Last night's sunset.
Whatever themes you choose this year, Sheena, I’m fine with all of them.
I’m very easygoing😉
Enjoy your Sunday everyone ☕

A winter landscape at sunset with bare trees silhouetted against a pale golden sky. Long shadows stretch across a frozen, snow-dusted lake, whose icy surface reflects the low sun. Tall dry reeds stand in the foreground along the shoreline, adding texture to the calm, quiet scene.
