A jet glides beneath the glowing moon in the early evening sky—a fleeting moment where earth and space meet. The emptiness of the deep blue backdrop draws more attention to the moon’s surface texture.

Fall foliage. Oak leaves shine a brilliant red. The last few leaves cling to the tree branch. The red contrasts strongly against the blue sky. The cool Fall air has turned the fern fronds a pale yellow. The back drop is a ground covered in fallen leaves. A brilliant yellow maple leaf clings to the branch. The background shows some trees still holding onto their green, with some of the blue sky peeking through. Peach colored maple leaves contrast against a deep blue sky. The sun lights through the leaves turning them into stained glass.

Winding through rugged cliffs and golden autumn leaves, Hawk’s Nest Road curves like a ribbon above the Delaware River. The season paints every turn with quiet beauty and adventure—perfect for a scenic drive or a reflective moment in nature. #Autumn #BlueSkyArtShow #Foliage #RoadTrip #Wanderlust
An upward angle view of a twisty road that zig zags like a snake along a jagged rock cilff. On one side of the road is a sheer rock wall straight up. On the other side is a precariously short man-made stone guardrail to keep cars from plunging into the river that flows at the bottom of the sheer cliff, a hundred feet below.

Wandering a wooded area, tall trees with dark trunks stand with brightly colored leaves of yellow, gold and orange. The sun pours in from behind, spilling through the leaves making them glow. The light coming in from behind makes the tree trunks look almost black. The trail ahead is completely covered with leaves that have fallen frmo the trees. A brilliant blue sky sets a contrasty background to the yellow and gold leaves. Wandering a wooded area, tall trees with dark trunks stand with brightly colored leaves of yellow, gold and orange.

Inside the tulip’s deep violet heart, its inner world unfolds—velvet textures, pollen-dusted filaments, and a pale core rising like a quiet flame. A study in softness and color.

Engineering with a side of artistry is revealed when taking a closer look inside a mechanical watch. Small, precise gears and springs come together in form and function. #Inside #BlueSkyArtShow #Time #MacroPhotography #Gears #Details #Mechanical #Engineering #Teeth #Horology #Clockwork #Precision
A macro photo of a mechanical pocket watch that shows the inner workings of the timepiece. The photo has a shallow depth of field. The point of focus is a clutch of gears that form the mechanics of the watch. The inner workings of the watch are gold in color, the numbers on the watch are in roman numerals. The hands of the timepiece are black and fade from sharp focus at the center to soft bokeh at the outer radius of the watch.

Was visiting a winery in the south of France. Their Grand Cru Classé was delicious. Their tasting room lighting caught my eye. Fifty or so old style filament bulbs cast a warm sensual glow across the room. #BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #SouthOfFrance #Bulbs #Incandescent #TravelPhotography #WineTasting
Old style filament bulbs cast a warm sensual glow across the room. Looking up at single light bulbs strung from the ceiling. Each bulb dimly lit by the twirled or spiraled tungsten filament within.
