A foggy night scene shows three streetlights glowing through dense mist above a grassy area with a small tree. Three orange cones border the grass, and a blue-lit shop window glows in the distance.

A detail of the surface of a suburban road, after a night of rain has brought down all the cherry blossom. The road here is thickly covered in pale pink blossom. There is a kerb (curb) stone to the right, showing that this is the edge of the road. The pavement (sidewalk) is also covered in cherry blossom. A bitter-sweet moment. Until next year.

A sunset beach scene in Nova Scotia's Minas Basin, Bay of Fundy, taken from the sea bed at the point of low tide.The sky has dark blue clouds broken by pink and pale blue patches which are reflected in the wet sand in the foreground. This wet sand has rivulets of water descending from the sandy cliffs on the shore and they wind around towards us from the right of the frame. The drier sand on either side is a warm tone. There are some trees on the top of the cliffs.

#SilentSunday Beautiful Iran

BADAB-E SURT - In this natural site, located in northern part of Iran in Mazandaran province, the stream of two different mineral springs have formed a natural stepped travertine terrace over thousands of years. What makes this natural phenomenon unique among the other similar places on earth is the reddish orange color of these terraces due to the existence of a large amount of iron carbonate in the water of one of the springs.

DASHT-E LUT - Iran’s first and only natural UNESCO World Heritage site is definitely among the most important must-sees of natural attractions in the country. This unique region, which holds the record for the hottest spot on the earth in 2005, offers mesmerizing views caused by wind erosion during summer and autumn. The enormous rock formations beside some of the tallest sand dunes in the world create spectral scenery which is compared to the landscapes of other planets like Mars.

MARGOON WATERFALL - The highest waterfall of Iran, with a height more than 70 meters and 100 meter width, has been compared to the shape of snake in Persian language. True to its name, the white, beautiful streams of water, along with the surrounding wildlife, have created an astonishing scenery which is visited by thousands of travelers each year. Located 3 hours away from Shiraz in Fars province, the temperature of water is less than 10 degrees even in the warmest seasons of the year. It would be better to visit the waterfall during the spring, but the frozen image of Margoon waterfall in some seasons is also appreciable among nature lovers.

LAKE URMIA - One of the most famous lakes of Iran, which unfortunately in the last few years is disappearing rapidly, is located in north-western part of Iran and around 30 years ago was the largest salt-water lake in the Middle East. In the past, the lake was home to many migratory birds like flamingos and pelicans. However, today, it only contains less than 10 percent of its original volume and by evaporating the water, it is now turning to a salty ground. The shores of the lake are now the habitat of a special kind of algae which has caused the changes in the color of the lake from green to wine-red.

This is my fave #bench in Esquimalt Gorge Park. I've enjoyed many books & eaten several lunches, at this spot. It's tucked away, off the main loop around the Japanese gardens & it's a really nice shady resting space. I adore all the ferns & trees that hug this rest stop.

A winding stone path leads deeper into a tranquil, overgrown garden. Lush green ferns and broad-leafed plants line the path, creating a sense of enclosure. Further along the path, a simple wooden bench sits invitingly beneath the dappled sunlight filtering through the dense canopy of mature trees. The scene evokes feelings of peace and serenity.

Enjoyed this delightfully vibrant patch of red poppies on a lavender field stretching across this picturesque and painterly scenery with a wooden fence dividing the foreground from a similarly lush background with French and English lavenders at a farm in Sequim, Washington.

The image presents a panoramic view of a stunning natural landscape. In the foreground, large, rugged rocks with a grayish hue dominate the scene, with one rock precariously balanced on another, creating a striking visual element. The rocks are part of a cliff edge, suggesting a high vantage point overlooking the scene below.

The midground features a vast expanse of deep blue water, likely a fjord, reflecting the sunlight and creating a shimmering effect. The water is bordered by steep, green mountains with some snow-capped peaks, indicating a high-altitude environment. The mountains are layered, with varying shades of green and blue, adding depth to the scene.

The background is filled with more mountains, creating a sense of vastness and grandeur. The sky is clear and blue, with no visible clouds, suggesting a sunny day. The overall composition of the image emphasizes the natural beauty and scale of the landscape, with the interplay of water, rock, and sky creating a harmonious and captivating scene.

The image depicts a serene coastal scene with clear, shallow waters in the foreground, revealing a sandy and pebbly bottom. The water is so transparent that the seabed is visible, with small rocks and patches of seaweed scattered across it. In the midground, a small island with lush green vegetation is visible, surrounded by calm waters. The island is partially covered with trees and shrubs, and its reflection can be seen in the water. In the background, majestic mountains rise, partially shrouded in mist, adding depth to the scene. The sky is clear with a soft gradient from light blue to white, suggesting early morning or late afternoon light. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and untouched, with no visible human activity or structures.

A stunning photo of waterfalls at Yosemite National Park taken from Lower Yosemite Falls Trailhead. We are looking through a grove of tall trees and down a paved walking path at two active stacked waterfalls cascading down the gorgeous granite cliffs at Yosemite. The walking path is lined with short stone walls and the well-kept pathway is inlaid with matching stones around the tree closest to us. It is very picturesque.

A gentle slope climbs to the left of this square image. The ground is carpeted in a light covering of snow. Four wooden boxes are dotted about the floor. It’s unclear what their purpose is as they stand amidst a thick bamboo grove. Where snow has collected on the ribs of the slender trunks, the bamboo has small white triangles like a series of guiding arrow heads. In the distance a gust of wind has dislodged snow from upper branches sending an airy avalanche between the limbs.
