Hi, and welcome!
I have two BlueSky accounts.
This one is for my photos (and others') and other nice things.

The other account, @infinite8horizon2.bsky.social, is for politics and not-so-nice things. Choose wisely, and check the auto-complete.

Bio is the same (it's me!), link in profile.
Enjoy.

Good Morning!
Not long ago, in Mt. Gravatt...

A blazing sun has just risen, orange, in a clear, slightly misty morning, throwing the skyline of trees and roofs on a ridge into sharp silhouette. A Torresian crow is flying free, also in silhouette.

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, or what's left of it ☺️.

A rocky path leading to a cliff with a little puddle with gathered rainwater. On the left an almost bare tree, her roots leading towards the path. Fallen leaves scattered everywhere. In the distance tree filled hills with some mist hanging above. The sky is grey.

Male Nomia bees clustering

A group of male Nomia bees clustering. This behaviour is reportedly common before night, however these bees were observed at 11:30, so maybe they slept in...

Afternoon, with lorikeet

#BlueSkyMonday
#scape #birds #lorikeet #gift #EastCoastKin
A bright blue sky with ragged white cumulus, framed on the left by a nearby tree, and on the bottom by the tip of a hill, while flying almost out of frame is a rainbow lorikeet, wings spread in flight. (If you've ever seen them flying you'll know their wingbeat is very fast, as is the bird, for its size, so this shot is good luck not good management)

Day fades into night...
Bald Knob

I have just moved house, so taking and posting pictures is not top priority, perforce.

#landscape #sunset #blue #silhouette #BaldKnob #gift #EastCoastKin
Faint echoes of Escher. The dark silhouettes of multiple mature eucalypts frame the sky as it fades from soft pink on the left to deepening blue on the right, as the last light of sunset fades from the sky and the blue gloom of dusk intransitively gathers for language nerds across the plains below.

Spathe and spadix of Monstera deliciosa

Not sure which I prefer...

The protective sheath (spathe) of the currently flowering fruiting body (spadix) of the edible Monstera deliciosa plant. Once it has flowered the spathe closes around the growing fruit, which can take up to a year to ripen.

The river Ourthe flowing freely between trees at both sides which have yellow autumn colored leaves. The sky is blue with some clouds. The sun is behind the trees on the left.

A very wide panorama of suburban Brisbane bordering the Brisbane river at night. Multiple cloud systems are marching across the sky, lit up by the city's lights, particularly bright to one side from the unseen lights of Brisbane airport. Last night on the New Farm peninsula.

A little white chapel surrounded by trees on top of a hill next to a road on the left. You can see through both windows. A car is parked between the road and the chapel. A meadow stretches in front of the chruch downwards. The sky is filled with clouds. The sun is hazy behind them.

You just have to love the Ardennes in autumn 🍂🍃♥️

#photography #nature #landscape #autumn #stunday #EastCoastKin #Ardennes #Belgium #Ourthe #Herou #Nadrin
A valley with the Ourthe river flowing between the hills covered with a mix of all kinds of autumn colored trees and dark green pinetrees. A diffuse layer of mist hangs over the valley. In the foreground some branches with a light colored moss in contrast with the surroundings. The sky is not clear. A tree with a dark stems and some branches with bright yellow leaves in a forest with a carpet of fallen trees surrounding it. A road with rocks and trees on the left and trees that drop down on the right. Predominately yellow autumn colored. A low wall covered with green moss at the right side of the road. The sky is clear blue with some wispy clouds. A hill covered with dark green pinetrees and yellow colored trees. A tree with still some brown and yellow leaves on the left. The sky is heavily clouded.

A promise. A little path surrounded by autumn colored bushes and covered with fallen leaves leading towards a viewpoint on the river Ourthe you can see slightly in the background. A ridge of dark green pine trees on the hill on the left of the Ourthe. Some fog hanging over the trees near the horizon.

Brown fallen leaves in the immedeate foreground, in front of a still water rainpool with the sun reflecting in it. At its sides green grass and behind a wooden fence and a large tree lit by the sun on the left of the fence.

Sunset rainbow

Sun+rain=magic
#photography #landscape #rainbow #cloudscape #sunset #gift #EastCoastKin
Looking east, the pink light from the setting sun lights up rain clouds drifting across the sky, turning soft blankets of rain into diffuse clouds of pink, and sketching the outlines of a rainbow, marking in glowing colour where the rain is heavier.

Possibilities...

A new day, the river, a ferry...
#photography #ColorADay #BlueTue #dawn #landscape #gift #EastCoastKin
A deep orange-red dawn is growing on the distantly clouded horizon, while above the blue vault of the clear sky shades down from deep blue to saffron. The land below is in darkness, punctuated by pinpoint streetlights, while on the river bank a ferry terminal is lit up in an oasis of light, drawing the eye, already open for travellers. It is a picture of promise and possibilities.

A wonderful autumn walk with a little bit of history in Alt (last picture) 🍂🍃

#photography #nature #landscape #scape #EastCoastKin #ForestFriday
Two wooden fences to keep the mountainbikers out in front of a little sand hill with a fen behind. On both sides are bushes with red leaves. The shot is taken from underneath a canopy of oak leaves. A dog is swimming towards its owner wearing a bright red jacket standing on the right side of the fen, camouflaged a bit by tall grasses and berch trees in front of her. The leaves of the berch trees are autumn yellow. A dead trunk on the sand in front of a fen backlit by the sun. A branch with autumn yellow leaves on the top left. The sky is blue with white clouds. The ruins of a little chapel in the middle of the forest against a blue sky. A large oak tree directly on its right with autumn green and yellow leaves. Small strokes of cloth are hanging on the lower branches. This trees is called the 'fever tree' or 'tree of patches'. People used to take a piece of the clothes of someone who was sick and hang it in the tree for them to get better. Would be wonderful, right? - St. Walrick
