Red and yellow sunset with subtle dark striations in the clouds giving definitions to the layers of clouds. Silhouettes of tree branches frame the picture and a silhouette of a sand dune is at the far side of the lake. The colors are reflected off the lake with checkerboard ripples.

Sun-bleached wooden fencing around a deck forms a lattice work of posts, joints and joists dominating the frame. Tightly cropped, a lone kingfisher sits on a support in the upper left corner, its plump outline and extravagant plumage emphasised by the plain post behind it-

Went to the Palace of Fine Arts on Friday night to celebrate my son’s 14th birthday with a candy-themed, combination mini-golf escape room event. (I know… it was quite a ‘thing’.) After we were finished, we thirsty golfers went in search of some water fountains way back inside the building ...and happened upon the bones of the old Exploratorium(!) Long-time San Franciscans probably remember when it was out by that beautiful structure originally built for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition? Well, the Exploratorium occupied the large warehouse structure that curves behind the monument—and this photo is taken from deep within the bowels of that building. Alongside towering sculptures of figures originally featured outside (and a giant fireplace for some reason?) this photo is of one of the remaining bathrooms left over from the Exploratorium days. Warm yellowish light emanating from a small square opening in a deep midnight-blue wall, with a glowing men/women sign guiding the way. Above the bathroom is a towering metal structure and geometric concrete support pillars reaching far, far up to the roof out-of-frame. In the foreground the shiny black concrete reflects the very moody warm orange light of the bathroom towards the camera, almost beckoning us to enter and do our business. Anyhow, the water fountain is to the right of this if you’re interested. San Francisco’s delicious Hetch Hetchy water on tap for pure refreshment. Enjoy!

Macro photograph of a water droplet freezing at the tip of a spruce shoot, clinging to the green needles and brown buds. Crystals are beginning to form inside the droplet.

Film photo taken with my Nikon F3 HP using CineStill 400D film - a single bloom of small yellow beauty blossoms on a stem promising many more blossoms of this delicate yellow wildflower; the small green leaves are a deep hunter green with a hint of blue, as the bokeh in the background boasts as well, lush yet simple nature.

A quiet and shady cobblestone alley in Venice, Italy lined with old brick buildings and greenery. A person pulling a fuchsia-coloured roller suitcase behind them is walking in the background. Sunlight illuminates the background scene, highlighting the colorful facades of nearby buildings.

This is my attempt at astrophotography. A nighttime scene taken at about 5 o’clock on a December morning featuring the Matterhorn mountain in Zermatt, Switzerland, surrounded by snow and illuminated by a star-filled sky. Coniferous trees are visible in the foreground.

1. The Blue Ridge Parkway gate near us has reopened after a year long paving project was finished.
2. Beautiful autumn day today with a temp of 60F/15.5C.
3. An immediate sense of peace as soon as I got out of the car and felt the wind on my face and the smell of autumn out here on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.

Looking over #Oakland to San Francisco from the top of Mountain View Cemetery for #SilentSunday.

View this large if you can, it’s very subtle but this is still a #cinemagraph as usual 😊

Looking down onto a brook that is quite low due to lack of rain. The left ¼ is in shadow with small dark rocks in the sandy bottom. The right ¾ is in sun and green leaves, blue sky, and white clouds are reflected on the shallow surface. There are also dozens of newly fallen, golden yellow birch leaves floating. Much of the brook bottom is covered with rocks and boulders that are higher than the water surface, making it easier to step out into the middle of the brook… even in one’s slippers.

#PletzfeldNature #photography #nature #NaturePhotography #seascape #SeascapePhotography #sea #ocean #darktable #mywork #myphoto

This is a tranquil and atmospheric seascape photograph taken at sunset. The lower half of the image shows a wide, calm ocean that stretches all the way to the horizon. The water is dark blue with gentle ripples and catches a warm, glowing reflection of the setting sun — a bright orange-gold path of light that leads from the horizon directly toward the viewer across the surface of the sea. On the horizon line, slightly to the right of center, sits a small, bright white-orange sun just above the water. Around the sun, the sky glows with warm colors: vivid orange and golden yellow that gradually fade upward into soft pink, lavender, and finally into deep indigo and dark blue at the top of the image. The sky is filled with dramatic, layered clouds. Some clouds are dark and heavy, especially in the upper part of the frame, creating strong contrast. Others are illuminated from below by the sunset, showing softer edges with shades of purple, gray, and orange. The clouds give the sky a rich, textured, and moody feeling. Overall, the photograph has a peaceful yet dramatic mood — the vastness of the ocean meeting a colorful, cloudy sky at the moment of sunset.

Clearing out all the past-their-prime zinnias from the front garden bed yesterday and this giant swallowtail showed up and hung around the lantana long enough for me to go grab my camera.

Photograph of three spruce trees of roughly the same size, standing side by side, covered in snow and in the middle of a white, snow-covered field. Behind them is a hill covered in forest and snow, under a very pale blue sky.

Photographie de trois épinettes à peu près de la même grosseur, l'une à côté de l'autre, couvertes de neige et en plein milieu d'un champ enneigé blanc. Derrière se trouve une colline couverte de forêt et de neige, sous un ciel bleu très pâle.

The majestic Mount Hood of Oregon towers above the serene Trillium Lake, which perfectly mirrors the surrounding evergreen forest, clear sky, along with the mountain.
A wooden pier extends over the calm water, where small groups are gathered to take in the breathtaking landscape or fishing.
