Do you need a bit of light and #sunshine? Please, hereby, even if it's through the screen! But something is better than nothing. 😉 Thanks to the (unknown) artist who painted the sun in Old Samos on a wall.

#Photography #thewildimages #PhotoHour #Samos #Greece #sun #smiley
The photo shows a concrete wall with a sun painted on it. The sun is surrounded by sunbeams and has a smiley-like expression with two eyes and a wide, smiling mouth. The mural is located on a wall in the old part of the city of Samos on the Greek island of the same name.

Eine Gruppe kleiner, orangefarbener Pilze wächst am Boden eines Waldes neben einem alten, verwitterten Baumstumpf. Die Pilze sind dicht beieinander und haben runde, glatte Hüte. Im Hintergrund ist unscharfes Grün zu sehen. Neben den Pilzen steht ein dünner, brauner Zweig mit einigen vertrockneten Blättern.

'Graffiti'

D - Wie kan man hässliche grosse Steine von einem Seedeich aufhellen? Genau, so.

E - How do you brighten up ugly large Stones on a sea wall? Like this, then.

A photo of a large stone which is part of a lowe sea wall. The stone has been brightened up with colorful paintings, probably by children. Among other things, birds, a boot with a red keel, a mermaid with a red tail, house, and the blue of the see. Photographed in Agios Konstantinos on the norah coaster of Samos (Greece).

#beautifulviews #schöneAussichten

🇬🇧 It's a common thread throughout our vacations: the photo theme 'beautiful views'. We took this one near Ambelos.

🇩🇪 Es ist ein roter Faden durch unsere Urlaube: das Fotothema 'schöne Aussichten'. Dieses Bild entstand auf Samos.

#Photography #PhotoHour #Greece
A photo of a small plateau with a bench, surrounded by trees on the left and right that provide shade. From this bench, there is a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea and the coast of Turkey. The plateau is not far from the large parking lot at Ambelos on the north coast of the Greek island of Samos. We have included this place in our ongoing series "beautiful views".

"Dance the Night Away". This is my favourite pour painting so far. Can you see the figures dancing on without a care in the world?

He waited until dusk, only to find the tree had already arrived before the sun went down.

Captured from Dutch heathlands 🇳🇱 — where the sun swelled into a blazing, perfect sphere and aligned exactly behind this lone winter tree, turning every branch into a silhouette of molten fire.
He waited until dusk, only to find the tree had already arrived before the sun went down. Captured from Dutch heathlands 🇳🇱 — where the sun swelled into a blazing, perfect sphere and aligned exactly behind this lone winter tree, turning every branch into a silhouette of molten fire. A rare natural spectacle that looks like pure fantasy, yet it’s entirely real — timing, angle, and atmosphere all coming together for a fleeting few seconds.

🇬🇧 Not just any tree. It survived a fire. Its bark is black. But its branches are bearing pine cones...

🇩🇪 Nicht einfach nur ein Baum. Er hat einen Brand überlebt. Seine Rinde ist schwarz. Aber seine Äste tragen wieder Früchte...

#Photography #thewildimages #PhotoHour #Samos #Greece
A standing photo of a fir tree. She has clearly suffered from a fire. The trunk is blackened, only a few branches stick out. However, the crown is green, and there are visible pine cones. The tree stands out against a blue sky. The tree stands next to a wide path on the hills above the seaside resort of Kokkari on Samos (Greece).

'Texturen'

🇩🇪 „Für eine Mauer wie diese“, sagte der Guide, „werden verschiedene Steinarten verwendet, die hier auf Samos zu finden sind.“

🇬🇧 "For a wall like this," the guide said, "different types of stone are used that can be found here on Samos."

#FotoVorschlag #Photography #PhotoHour #Greece
A photo of a wall with rough stones carved. Both size (from a few centimeters to a few decimeters), color (gray, gray-blue to beige) and type of stone vary greatly. The photo was taken in the north of the Greek island of Samos.

Boom!

A good deal of my time spent on the beach at Jökulsárlón is trying to capture waves hitting icebergs, without the iceberg moving (and being blurred). Occasionally it all comes together :)

#Iceland
A stripy turquoise iceberg sits on a black sand beach in the surf and a massive wave crashes over it, giving white spray into the air. The wave is green below. The sky is steely blue with some white patches.

A horizontal photograph of a sunset on the north coast of Samos, in the village of Agios Konstantinos. Just above the waterline, the sky is still orange. There are lights above a patio, and people are sitting on a patio under a tent roof at the edge of a beach. Some trees are on the left.
