This lady caught my eye as I stood under the shelter of a tent at a running event last weekend.

A figure wearing dark clothing stands seemingly alone in a muddy field, underneath an umbrella. Behind her trees dressed in their brown and rusty autumn foliage cover a hill that rises to the right. Beyond, grey and hazy in the rain are larger Lakeland fells.

At my book group last night we talked about The Fallen Idol by Graham Greene. It's always published with The Third Man - both stories were adapted into excellent films by Carol Reed. I feel The Fallen Idol is if not underrated, certainly under-seen, but it's one of my faves. #booksky #filmsky 📽️🎬

A driver’s view of a bending road at twilight. An overhead pole light casts a golden glow onto an otherwise blue scene with ocean beyond. A small accumulation of snow gathers roadside.

A glass-clad addition to an older building reflects the surrounding trees, giving the illusion of the walls disappearing.

The moon was glowing tonight on my walk with the dog. I missed the supermoon last night because of thick fog, so I was glad to enjoy a late viewing.

Bright moon glowing in a halo of yellow and blue. The halo is surrounded by dark grey clouds smeared with ragged strips of lighter grey. The upper third of the photo is black.

Some pictures from foggy yesterday. It was like this the whole day basically. Fun thing happened though, as Google navigation lead me down the wrong path i found myself ascending so high i was above all the fog, was really neat!
A landscape shot of a foggy day in Galway. The road slowly disappears into the distance as it's diagonal to the frame. A sidewalk on the left interrupted by a yellow rombus shaped sign of a bicycle. The road, cars lost in the distance to the fog. Another side walk and a row of trees sticking out of green grass, all lost to the fog A portrait picture of a row of trees as they slowly disappear into the fog. The short cut bright green grass is their carpet. Everything is enveloped in fog A landscape shot showing some green grass and some trees on the left. The grass is the edge of a piece of land that dips down but we can't see. On the left in the distance is a goal for GAA or American football. On the right, barely visible as they're walking into the fog a person. Most of the image os just a blanket of fog

Incident Light
Late afternoon sunlight hitting a plain wall, with a long, patterned shadow created by a hand-made macrame window shade to the right. The light is warm yellow-orange against a cool, light wall.

“Departing for the Promenade (Will You Go Out with Me, Fido?)” by Alfred-Émile-Léopold Stevens (Belgian) - Oil on canvas / 1859 - Philadelphia Museum of Art (Pennsylvania) #WomenInArt #DogArt #artText #art #AlfredStevens #BlueskyArt #PhiladelphiaMuseumOfArt #19thCenturyArt #BelgianArtist #FashionArt
A young, light-skinned woman stands in a narrow Parisian doorway, paused mid-step as she prepares to go out. She wears a dark, gleaming silk day dress with a fitted bodice and sweeping skirt, its surface catching the light in soft velvety folds. Wrapped around her shoulders is a luxuriant cashmere shawl, densely patterned with curving paisley forms in reds, golds, and cool blues that spill down her front like a second garment. Her brown hair is close to her head, framing a composed, thoughtful face turned slightly toward us, her gaze lowered but aware as she looks back over her right shoulder. One hand rests on a bright metal door handle, holding the threshold between interior and street. At her feet, a small white lapdog, Fido, looks up attentively on the polished floor, its pink ribbon collar echoing the refinement of its mistress. Behind them, pale walls, a framed picture, and the edge of an upholstered seat suggest an elegant yet tightly bounded domestic space. Belgian artist Alfred Stevens turns this moment of departure into a quiet meditation on modern femininity under the French Second Empire. Wealth and status are signaled less by jewelry than by textiles, especially the coveted Kashmiri-style shawl that dominates the composition and speaks to the reach of global trade into Parisian interiors. The woman becomes almost a living mannequin for luxury, yet her slight hesitation and inward-looking expression suggest emotions that cannot be read from fashion alone. Painted in 1859, soon after Stevens settled permanently in Paris, the work marks his shift from earlier social-realist subjects to the intimate genre scenes of elegant women. Trained in the realist tradition and inspired by Dutch and Flemish painters, he brought enamel-smooth precision to scenes of contemporary life, using interiors and clothing to reveal social codes. Here, a bourgeois woman’s movements are carefully staged, even as she stands on the brink walking into an unseen modern city.
