Mirador de Kari - Piedra del Coyote. The sinking orb may be the star, but it will be upstaged by the light cast on the mountains. #StunDay #Scape

If there's a wall, it's likely someone's canvas. I don't think I have been to a place with more street art. #UrbanGaze #ClassicMono #Scape

Nel greto di un torrente, la scarsità d'acqua fa emergere i sassi levigati dalla corrente. Sulle sponde, la vegetazione è ormai del tutto spoglia e secca. Alcune foglie cadute galleggiano sull'acqua.

Annapolis, Maryland (U.S.)
View from Annapolis harbor docks looking toward Main Street on a clear September afternoon. The foreground shows calm blue-green water with dark navigation cone markers atop wooden pilings. A row of colorful historic buildings lines the waterfront - including structures in turquoise, red, and sage green. A large American flag flies prominently on the left, while the Maryland State House dome is visible in the center background. Fluffy white clouds drift across a brilliant blue sky.

All'imbrunire, gli ultimi raggi del sole colorano il cielo sul porto canale di Cesenatico, lungo le cui banchine i lampioni sono già accesi. In primo piano la cima di una barca ormeggiata è avvolta attorno ad una bitta posizionata nella prua, di cui se ne vede solo una porzione.

Don’t clean your screen! Those specks in the sky are all sea birds. Okay, maybe clean your screen, too. Yeah, you’ve got some schmutz there. #photography #monochrome #Iceland #bird
The sun illuminates the curve of the black sand of ⁨Reynisfjara Beach, while the cliffside to the left remains in shadow. The Reynisdrangar sea stacks stand in silhouette. Overhead, puffins and other sea birds shuttle between mainland and ocean.

The petrified remains of a troll, Hvítserkur rises 15 meters from the sea. Geologists would tell you that it is a sea stack composed of basaltic rock, but what fun is that? #photography #Iceland
A dark rock formation resembling a drinking rhinoceros rises from the sea. Behind it, the clouds catch the light of a sun that is beginning to set at 20:30.

Charming storefront of Old Fox Books, a local independent bookstore with black and white striped awning. The Maryland state flag flies above. White wooden facade with large windows showing the interior. Black awning reads ‘BOOKS COFFEE’ and ‘OLD FOX BOOKS’ with tagline story, coffee, and conversation. An ‘OPEN’ sign hangs vertically by the entrance. Outside, wooden crates display books for browsing, along with a decorative READ sign. Dappled sunlight filters through tree leaves onto the sidewalk where a couple walks in the background.
