"Rest and be thankful" spot in #Scotland,
Before and after the snow (2 days ago vs today)

Photo of a hilly landscape with a road curving downwards surrounded by mossy and rocky green- yellow land, green coniferous trees on the right and several mountains on each side, also green - brown but with snowy tops. This is all below a bright blue sky with only one small cloud on the right.

Photo of the same landscape from almost the same point of view, but it looks like it's in black and white because it is entirely covered in snow, only the trees that were on the right remain dark, the sky is now fully cloudy, hiding most of the snowy peaks in the distance

The sunflower field stretches into the background, where a line of trees can be seen.

Then there are the Blue Ridge Mountains, always gorgeous. Will return to Skyline Trail later this summer, as it’s an official International Dark Sky viewing location. Perhaps in August for the Perseid meteor shower season.

Looking through an arched window two hours after sunrise the sky fades from orange at the horizon to light blue up above. Most of the sky is full of finely textured clouds that look almost like flocks of birds. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones are silhouetted across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance. The window is grimy on the bottom.

In this extract from the film Celestial Knowledge Credo Mutwa speaks about aliens or greys beings known as Mantindane in Africa.

Stories of alien sightings and landings of mysterious aircraft have emerged from Iino as far back as the 1970s. Tsugio Kinoshita, a researcher of unidentified flying objects, said he first saw such an UFO in 1972 at the age of 25.

Kinoshita was hiking a mountain in Fukushima prefecture with four friends when suddenly a saucer-like shape appeared in front of them. “This thing stuck out in front of me. Starting and stopping in the blue sky. Then all of a sudden, it was gone,” he told VICE World …

The Banqueting Palace, 2026
A looming building in a dark grey, rain soaked painting, with figures in the middle ground, on a bike, one riding on the handlebars, reflected in the wet pavement. Bare winter trees are in either side in front of a blue sky.

Anderson explains: 'This is the painting of a memory. I wanted to recapture a walk home from school. The canvas is dominated by a dark sky. Devoid of people, it evokes the twilight of a suburban winter afternoon in England. A lot of the time th…

A huge panelled work featuring verdant scenes on the right and urban on the left. Subjects included slavery - lines of slaves in irons on the right, and family and community on the left. The colours are vibrant acrylic. At the bottom are images of departure, arrival and farewells.

Miss Sylvia, 2011
A striking, simple blue and yellow beach scene, with a single black woman in the middle, in a bikini, with her sun on her head and shoulders. The foliage behind her is portrayed by the absence of the blue background so the yellow wash shows through.

Untitled (Red Flags), 2004
The epic scale of the dark green jungle foliage behind this beach, stretching high above to fill the frame, dwarfs the crowd of people on the beach. There are red dangers flags in front of a red and white parasol. In the distance on the right, a line of fierce surf can be seen. For something so colourful and innocent, this picture of a busy beach gives me a surprising sense of ominous dread.

Hey friends of the #mountains - I almost didn't make it away from my couch today morning. But as you can see, I did!
I spent a couple of hours hiking into the snow. During the ascent I was happy that I left my snow shoes at home. Yet for half an hour or an hour, I really missed them when I sometimes sank in deeper than my knees.
But it was all well manageable and I regained so …

A stunning winter alpine landscape unfolds under a brilliant blue sky, where the sun shines brightly, casting a radiant glow over the snow-covered slopes. The pristine white snow blankets the undulating terrain, creating a breathtaking contrast with the deep blue of the sky. The snow's surface is smooth and untouched, save for a few tracks left by adventurous hikers or skiers.

Scattered across the slope are clusters of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, adding texture and depth t…

A moment of joy and adventure is captured in this vibrant winter scene. A hiker stands atop a snow-covered mountain slope, their face lit up with a warm smile as they take a selfie. Dressed in outdoor gear, including a bright green beanie, blue jacket, and a backpack equipped with a hydration pack, the hiker exudes a sense of preparedness and enthusiasm for the journey.

After He's Gone.
(Chosen for #TextureTuesday, but also as addendum for the recent #WorldDayOfGlaciers...)
"He" is referring here to the Gepatschferner (masculine in German), one of the once largest glaciers in the central Alps (and still Austria's 2nd …

View of a high alpine section of a glacial valley approx. 1 km from the current glacier tongue (a fragment of it is visible in the background). Rocks of many different colors and traces of glacial activity and heavy erosion are forming an chaotic looking landscape. Harsh shadows are emphasizing the various features. The plain blue sky gives this alien looking landscape an extra abstract element.

In The Garden Of Eden.
(From one of my favorite hikes last year, October 2025... a place of absolute solitude, harmony, peace and positive vibes, a feast for the eyes)

The upper part of a high alpine glacial valley in the most beautiful autumn colors with golden yellow grasses, small bushes with orange leaves, red patches of heather and blueberries, and small swiss pines dotted here and there. A small waterfall emerges between some of the rock cliffs. The snow capped peaks of large mountain in the hazy background. Clear blue sky with a single small white cloud

An old classic.

A kindergarten teacher is trying to explain to her class the definition of the word 'definitely.' To make sure the students have a good understanding of the word, she asks them to use it in a sentence.
A student in the front raises her hand and says, 'The sky is definitely blue.' The teacher says, 'Well, that isn't entirely correct because sometimes it's gray and cloudy.'
Another student says, 'Grass is definitely green.' The teacher again replies, 'If grass doesn't get enough water, it turns…

First weekend of spring, but dreaming of autumn...
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A mountain lake with deep green water in front of a steep talus slope and vertical rock face going up hundreds of meters directly behind. The lower parts near the lake are covered in dense bushes of dwarf mountain pines and some larches, all faintly reflected on the lake surface. The beautiful sunny day brings out the autumn colors with some of the larches in bright orange. Semi-overcast blue sky.

'Schnee und Eis nah dran' #FotoVorschlag ' Snow and Ice closeup'
Oh I have to post this photo again. Sorry if you've seen it in the past already.
But lying on the ground on top of a summit, waiting for the next gust of wind blowing the snow into my direction... this day will stay in my memories! - To me it is my absolute closeup of snow and ice.
(up to …

A dynamic winter scene unfolds in this close-up shot, capturing the raw energy of a sudden snowfall. Snowflakes swirl and dance in the air, creating a flurry of activity against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The snowflakes, caught in mid-fall, add a sense of movement and liveliness to the scene.

In the foreground, a patch of snow-covered ground is visible, with hints of frozen grass and small rocks peeking through the white blanket. The snow appears freshly fallen, its surface smooth and u…

Historic Glacial Confluence
This is the site of confluence of the former glaciers Vernagtferner and Hintereisferner, two of the most (and longest) studied glaciers in the world. It is the site (at ~2200m) where several times over the past thousand years the ice of the Vernagtferner would pile up to form a massive dam, 150-200m tall, which caused a semi-permanent ice lake to form in the Rofen/Hintereis valley above (the one visible from ~7 seconds). Many times this lake would get up to …

300 degree video panorama/pan of a high alpine landscape showing the confluence of two former glaciers, now reduced to rocky river beds cutting through canyons in a vast tree-less landscape shaped by glacial activity. Snow capped mountains in the distance. Sunny day with semi-overcast blue sky.
