Sun setting behind distant ridge. It is partially hidden behind bright orange clouds that seem to shimmer and boil.

Sunday #Stunday

Thin black branches flex in unison under the weight of the snow, gently bending to touch their tips into the snowy ground creating a pattern of black and white.

A tree with multiple trunks and long thin branches is weighted down with a heavy snowfall, creating curved lines of black branches and white snow seemingly in unison flexing to touch the snowy ground.

Good morning, Bluesky! I’ve been fortunate enough to spot a couple of different owl nests. This little one was incredibly curious and incredibly adorable!

A sunlit forest path covered in autumn leaves, winding gently uphill between tall, slender trees. Warm orange and brown tones dominate the ground, while soft sunlight filters through the trunks. On the left stands a small wooden stick shelter, blending naturally into the scene.

Sunday #Stunday

Carson Valley, Nevada and the Sierra Nevada mountains.

#EastCoastKin #LandscapePhotography #Snow #SierraNevada #CarsonValley
The ground is covered in snow, and the sky is overcast except for the distance where it is clear and blue with sun shining on the distant Sierra Nevada mountains. In the foreground is a cluster of bare trees. A road heads into the distance, and it has faint tire tracks along it with snow piled to the sides. Gardnerville, Carson Valley, Nevada.

A black and white photo of two silhouetted hikers, dwarfed by Pumori’s immense sunlit icy slopes as swirling clouds drift upward, highlighting the contrast between human fragility and the mountain’s overwhelming power.

Good afternoon, Bluesky! This one tried to hide from me. I heard them calling out, but it took me a minute to locate them. It’s incredible how quietly they fly. Sometimes we just have to take what we get.

Happy #Stunday 😍😍
#Sunrise from Glacier National Park #imageandverse

Night surrenders
Silver mists linger
on the Fire’s reflection
Violet Mountains’ shoulders
Today’s present

#artyear #nationalparks #eastcoastkin #scape #landscape
The scene unfolds in the hush before sunrise. A still lake lies smooth as glass, perfectly mirroring the dark mountain ridges that rise above it. The peaks stand in shadow—deep violet and indigo—while the eastern sky begins to glow with the first light of dawn. Bands of soft gold and rose stretch across the horizon, their reflection forming a glowing triangle of color on the lake’s surface. A faint mist drifts just above the water, blurring the line between earth and sky. Stones in the foreground rest in shallow water, motionless. The world feels suspended in anticipation—the moment when night yields to day, and the mountains wait to be touched by the sun.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel 🍂💛🍂

This message is especially for my American friends ✌️✌️

The picture shows a tree-lined avenue with broad trunks and autumn foliage. The leaves are coloured in various shades of yellow, green and brown. A few fallen leaves lie scattered on the ground. The path runs through the middle of the picture and leads into the distance. Light falls from above through the trees and illuminates the path. At the end of the path, a single person can be seen moving away from the viewer. The end of the avenue is brightly lit, creating a stark contrast to the shadier foreground.

Autumn is also a time for fog. Looking down at the fog in San Luis Obispo from Cerro San Luis.

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #LandscapePhotography
In the foreground is part of the mountain slope which is very dark brown vegetation. Just below is an ocean of fog filling in the valley of San Luis Obispo. The sun is shining on the fog, showing slight variations in the density of the fog. In the distance are more mountains rising above the fog. The sun is shining directly into the camera, and the sky is blue. Cerro San Luis, San Luis Obispo, California.

Here’s a piece I drew for a project that has, rather sadly, been cancelled (nobody involved at fault).
It depicts #RoyalNavy carrier borne aircraft - Sopwith Camel, Supermarine Seafire, Sea Harrier and F35B.
It’s all graphite and is 70cm across. It’s a lovely piece which I spent 90 hours on.
