Last breath of #Summer on the slopes of Mount Segla, Senja Island, Norway.

#landscape #landscapephotography #BlueSkyArtShow
#wideangle #viltrox #nikon
Steep slopes on the right of Mount Segla are illuminated by the light of a setting sun, with mountain itself casting a shadow over a town lying by its base on the left. Red berries in the front make photo more interesting.

Although a repost (I can't seem to understand the logic behind it), it fits nicely this #BlueSkyArtShow Saturday with its #Green hues. A karst spring of a river that flows into the Cerknica Lake. Due to the abundant rains, the springs are overflowing.

I tried to repost this, but managed to get it deleted in the end. Oh well...

Sometimes, a kitchy sunset is just what you need.

A sun, low on the horizon, setting behind the clouds, casting a reflection on the calm sea in the golden hour. A silhouette of a sailboat crossing the sun's reflection in the middle of the photo.

Took this one nearly fourteen years ago. It's still one of my favourites. It was a warm August evening, there wasn't a breeze in the air, the sea was calm and just too inviting not to take a dip.

#summer #evening #sunset #BlueSkyArtShow #Silhouette #reflection #sea
A bather on a pier, back-lit from an after sunset sky, casting a silhouette, walking from right to the left. There are clouds, low on the horizon. The sky and the shadow of the pier are reflected in the calm sea.

Another one in the series of black and white is a long exposure of the seascape at Bridges of Ross, Derrynadivva, Co. Clare. A few minutes after the sunset and just before the rains swept in.

Black and white long exposure monochrome photograph of the sloping seascape of rocks and silky smooth sea. Clouds on the bright horizon on the right stand out in the fading light while on the left rain clouds are coming in the view just above the fence.

It's springtime, and it's time for Corybas orchids to bloom!

#spring #orchids #corybas #plant #photography #nikon
A trio of small and strange flowes of corybas or helmet orchids in various stages of development. On the right in the front is the oldest, completely opened flower. On the left, the flower is in the process of opening. In the back, the flower is still closed and growing. The flower of this Corybas pictus has 4 spurs, though on each side.

A throwback to a late summer afternoon, hiking with a camera and stumbling on this guy, just chilling on a thistle.

A rainbow appeared after the rain. It's always worthwhile to look for the positive aspects of situations.
