#BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace Tres Cime - 3 peaks so there must be a 3rd plus the refuge which is just the place to grab a drink, and some food and observe the view before heading on further. I know it's a bit of a stretch but hopefully counts. But what a hike that was.
A view across rocks and grass to a large climbers refuge highlighted in the sun and sitting in front of the 3 mountain rock peaks of the Tres Cime.

#AlphabetChallenge Man and machine for #WeekMforMachinery. A busker in St Jean-de-Luz France combining playing the accordion with blowing bubbles, foot tapping shoes and others all via an assortment of cogs.

Many thanks - the setting of the statue enhanced the calm and tranquility - while the light coming through just completed the whole view.

A 2 for 1 deal this photo hopefully meets both the #Alphabetchallenge #WeekLForLookingIn as well as #BlueSkyArtShow #Lights. A view looking in Copenhagen Glyptotek at Todesfigur caught by the light.
White Marble draped figure statue at the top of a corridor with steps leading up to it. Sunlight is coming in diagonally behind the statue.

A different perspective but one for #BlueSkyArtShow #golden. A wee dram of the golden nectar. A nice 25 yr Islay malt whiskey from Bunnahabhain.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekHForHearts just managed to sneak a couple of photos in to finish the week. First one a large neon heart with an indiscrete question?, second one just tickled my sense of humour wandering around a cycling shop.

This must be my over-arching photo for today’s #BlueskyArtShow theme to remember this #summer. A complied photo montage of both the solar eclipse and the drought conditions on display for #Bedfordshire. Added bonus of the Cardington Sheds in the distance.
A Panoramic view at sunset over the golden wheat fields with the odd tree  and the Cardington Sheds silhouetted in the distance. Across the sky is the sun as multiple images as it appears during the eclipse and moves towards the horizon.

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekFForFilms The Boys in the Boat. I've spent too many hours watching from the riverside to not include one from this.
Trees edge river bank as a late summer sunrise emerges on the right side catching the mist lying over the water. A rowing boat emerges from the mist.

Early one to kick off #AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFilms Dune - the most literal one I could find but with part 3 released later this year it had to be, and a windy day at Lytham was pretty close.

Many thanks - but I am going to say there was more luck involved than judgement as both camera and I were getting soaked

A last couple of shots from the archive for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds. Going with my preference of trying to catch the light breaking through. The first from Croatia looking across fields to the mountains. The second off the coast of Netherlands.
Haystacks in field with light breaking through clouds over the hills
