Last traces of #sunlight as seen from an airplane window on an evening flight. You can see the reflection of the moon on the wing of the plane.

View from an airplane window. The sky is mostly dark with the moon reflecting on the wing of the plane. Along the horizon are the last traces of golden sunlight blending up into a blue which fades out into the night sky.

#BlueSkyArtShow - #Windows

These ornate windows fill the library at the University of Washington with natural light.

Tall windows with stained glass accents rise above the bookshelves lining the walls, filling the library with natural light. Rows of wooden tables and chairs fill the room. The ceiling has a vaulted cathedral style.

Various flowers in shades of pink, purple, yellow, and orange fill the foreground from the top of a hill overlooking Bellingham Bay. The tops of tall trees partially block the view to the Bay, but the water can be seen in the distance.

Bluebonnets line the highways and fill the fields in Texas during the Spring. People pull over to the side of the road to take pictures in the Bluebonnets. Fun fact: snakes are often in the Bluebonnets too.🐍
