Happy #Stunday!

My Christmas Eve sunset photo from this year.

The Christmas Eve sunset had a crescent moon in the sky along with beautiful colors.

As a kid, I always had a fascination for trains, so as a supersized kid, I went and found some today.
I also want to wish everyone a Happy & HEALTHY New Year🍻

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

I looked for an hour for a quote tonight
none were right
either too dark or too light
for today
I want to encourage
to quote of beauty and hope
of freedom and sanity
and these are the only words
I can find

A house, a barn and other roofs with snow covering them. There is a wood fence in front with a large tree to the right with a light shining through the foggy snow.

Early morning workers in a flurry of snow make our street look like a Christmas card.

Hope my #Bluesky friends have had a lovely week so far!

This photograph captures a serene, yet cold, early winter morning scene in a residential area during a snowfall. The dominant colour palette is a cool blue, illuminated by the stark, white light of modern street lamps that punctuate the darkness. The air is thick with falling snow, which is in focus, creating a sense of dynamic motion and depth across the frame.
The foreground is dominated by a snow-covered, curving road, its surface marked by the dark, wet tracks of a vehicle's tires. To the left, a row of bare trees lines the road, their branches dusted with snow, forming a dark silhouette against the brighter background. A single figure, clad in dark clothing, is visible walking on the road towards the middle distance, providing a sense of scale and human presence in the otherwise quiet landscape.
In the background, more snow-laden trees and a few figures can be seen near some houses. The buildings, made of red brick, are softly illuminated by the ambient light, their shapes slightly blurred by the falling flakes. The overall atmosphere is one of peaceful isolation, the bright streetlights creating pools of warmth and visibility in the wintry gloom. The scene is a vivid depiction of a quiet neighbourhood street transformed by the beauty and intensity of a winter storm. The contrast between the natural elements of snow and trees and the artificial elements of streetlights and buildings creates a visually striking and evocative image of a cold, snowy evening.

On New Year's Eve we had freezing fog all day, then suddenly at sunset it turned the most glorious pink and purple, a magical end to what had been a challenging 2025 for me.
Bring on brighter times for all! 💜 📷 🌿

A landscape photograph showing trees as silhouettes in the foreground with a soft blanket of mist behind that hangs in the valley. The mist is taking on a lilac glow and the horizon is glowing red. The whole background is glowing in shades of purples as the setting sun lights up the sky. Taken on 31 December 2025.

This photograph captures a serene river landscape bathed in warm, natural sunlight, during a winter early afternoon.

The primary feature is the tranquil, dark surface of the river, which acts as a near-perfect mirror, reflecting the vibrant blue sky and dramatic cloud formations above.

The water is almost perfectly still, blurring the line between the physical riverbank and its mirrored image.
In the foreground and to the left, a lush green grassy bank slopes down to the water's edge. The earth of the bank is visibly exposed in a small, sharp cutaway section, highlighting the rich soil beneath the verdant grass. The banks are lined with an array of vegetation, including dense bushes and scattered trees.

A prominent, starkly bare tree, possibly a winter or dormant tree, stands near the centre of the image, its intricate branch structure reflected with fidelity in the calm water below. Other trees with sparse or no foliage are also present, suggestive of late autumn/winter.

Beyond the immediate banks, the landscape extends into gentle, rolling hills that fade into the distance, contributing to a sense of depth and tranquility. The hills are covered in a mix of green fields and some forested areas, appearing soft and hazy under the bright sun.

The sky is a spectacular canvas of deep and pale blues, filled with dynamic, wispy cirrus and puffier cumulus clouds streaked across the frame. The sun is a bright presence in the upper right corner, casting a brilliant, warm light across the entire scene and creating long shadows that enhance the three-dimensionality of the landscape.

The strong sunlight and the vivid blue sky contribute to the peaceful and picturesque atmosphere of the scene. The overall composition uses light and reflection to create a balanced and very still moment in nature.

2026 is the year of macro photography for me! I hope to share more this year of my journey with it as I'm sure it'll be trial and error at first.

I'll also be allowing myself the ability to post whenever & not feel the need to post everyday! We'll see how it goes!

Cheers 🥂
