The colours didn't last long but today's sunset over the River Alde was a treat. Very glad I made the effort to go out with my camera.

One Tree Hill Greenwich, looking north over the City of London, Nov 2024. Autumn colours of yellows, reddish browns and some remaining greens in the trees. Above the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf right, Greenwich Royal Naval College centre and the skyscrapers of the City, left, the clouds in the blue sky of late afternoon are being lit with a pale pink glow

Today’s theme for #November_Kiek / Thema van vandaag is ‘Vergaande Glorie’ (faded glory)

The Saxon sundial in Corhampton Church, dating from around 1020. It tells the time in 8 canonical ‘tides’ so a tide dial, same origin as Dutch ‘tijd’ (time) #connections #sundial #Hampshire #photography
The sundial or tide dial in Corhampton Church, set in the south wall. Stone circle set in a square stone block, with decorative 3-leaved pointers on the diagonals, in between plain lobed pointers, with a hole in the middle for the (missing) gnomon which would have been a stick or similar perpendicular to the stone church wall

A hopeful chick with parent #GreatTit, the alt theme from @robcrank68.bsky.social for today’s #BirdOfTheDay

(Sorry, issues with earlier post)
The large old apple tree and wisteria gave them a perfect nest hole and perch, a joy to see out of the dining room windows.

The never less than extraordinary Harpa in Reykjavik #Iceland #photography
Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, Reykjavik. Light is streaming through the geometrical facade above the stairs, projecting hexagonal shadows and some coloured shapes on to the concrete wall, above people climbing and sitting on the stairs. Remarkable space
