Today, rain pours down;
For a moment, we escape
To bright memories

#BlueskyArtShow #Bright #SoCal #California #WestCoast #SkyPalms

#SouthernCalifornia, two weeks ago
The sky's golden sphere makes its final descent in the sky while the earth turns and three palms and a streetlight stand firm. Dark ribbons of clouds decorate the sky around the sun against an ochre backdrop. Ocean water and islands mark the horizon. Our graceful sun fast disappears from sight As Earth rotates in spinning cosmic flight; Before we bid farewell to light of day, Embrace this time, this fleeting moment bright

The bright morning light after snowfall.

#EastCoastKin #Snow #LandscapePhotography #CarsonValley
The morning sun is brightly illuminating the valley covered with snow, and accentuates the tire tracks leading to a farmhouse. There is a white fence to the right and barbed wire to the left with a couple of trees. The sky is blue except for long rows of clouds. This is the Carson Valley in Nevada.

A just risen yellow sun, it's yellow and orange corona, and a sun flare shining diagonally to the right sits low on the horizon in a orange and gray sky over the charcoal and orange Atlantic Ocean. Small puffy black clouds spread horizontally just above where the ocean meets the sky. A morning walker is highlighted at the end of the vertical sun reflection on the brown shore.

a bit of you
mustachioed & bearded
between earth & heaven

transported in dreams
resting in a world made of breath
does the sky only yield to the heart?

mine tries, believing —
a little more love adds to what exists in you
it whispers in beats, ascending

i listen for the echo
of my heart in yours
11/14 do you see what I see? a profile of a man's face resting in the clouds...

On an October morning, sunlight filters through tall trees in a forest, casting sunbeams and lighting up green and yellow leaves. The sky is bright blue with a few fluffy white clouds. ☀️🍂 Bright blue lifts the mood, Forest bathing in sunbeams, Autumnal magic 🍃🍂🍁

Unfiltered beauty of the aurora borealis. The night sky with some stars visible, is illuminated in a bright pink nearly all over the photo. The left upper corner is dark, from there the pink is getting brighter till the mid of the photo, then it’s getting softer with blue hues and bright green on the bottom. In the foreground there are silhouettes of leafy trees visible, more prominent in the left lower corner, smaller on the left, beautifully mirroring the dark sky in the left upper corner. Some light pillars / rays are shining in the same direction. One of the best events in my life was watching the natural phenomenon Aurora Borrealis in May 2024 that left me both mesmerized and mystified. I went out on a field to look for the dazzling dancing lights and eventually I was lying on said field in the dirt, looking up and watching the breathtakingly beautiful spectacle above me with tears in my eyes. The aurora was fluidly dancing over me in all shades of purple, pink, green, dark red, in round shapes and in pillars under some sparkling stars. Rare pink auroras are typically associated with a high solar activity. Red auroras occur only during strong electromagnetic storms. Auroras are caused by energized particles from the sun that are slamming into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph / 72 million kmh. The magnetic field of the Earth then redirects the particles towards the north and south poles. The different colors are caused by the level of the solar activity, strength of the storm, density in the atmosphere, and the gases in the atmosphere that are excited by the incoming particles, eg oxygen and nitrogen, emit different colors. Also the altitude at which the aurora occurs plays a role, eg. oxygen emits green light, which is the most common color of the aurora, but it can also emit red light at higher altitudes. Nitrogen emits blue light, and can also produce purple and pink colors when mixed with oxygen. Truly amazing and fascinating!

A small, round stone structure partially hidden among tall trees in a forest during autumn. The ground is carpeted with fallen leaves in warm shades of orange, yellow, and brown. The building’s roof is blanketed with a layer of autumn leaves, blending gently with the earthy tones around it. Dark wooden doors and slatted windows add rustic character. Ivy climbs a nearby tree trunk, and green plants and ferns peek through the leaf litter, adding life and texture. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, bathing the scene in a peaceful, golden glow. — A circle of stone, Where secrets are sown.

Shades and shadows shape our world. Caressing the contours, circling curls. In the fractal forest, in black and white. The color is drained, but the beauty is bright. Monochrome mood of melancholy, steeped in the soul of this forest scene. Follow the path, through the muck and the mire. In a color blind world, be the color of fire!

A moody September sunset over a lake with golden and orange sunlight peeking through dark clouds and casting a radiant glow throughout part of the cloud. Blue sky can be seen above. The entire horizon is silhouetted with trees. A bird flies high at the top of the frame, adding a sense of calm and freedom.

A lone tree casts a shadow in a field. A pathway, patches of brown grasses, and deciduous trees with leaves in shades of orange and red can be seen in the distance. The sky is blue with a few wispy clouds.
