Join us today (Thursday 1 Oct) for #PalacesandGardens theme of #ItsAJungleOutThere Celebrate glorious abundance of greenery, architecture, interior decor and decorative features. Remember more is more! Bring on your maximalism! More ideas in Queen Sabine's fabulous poster below. #EastCoastKin

Poster for the #PalacesandGardens
photography challenge on Thursday, 1 October 2026, with the theme #ItsAJungleOutThere.

The poster uses a softly faded photograph of the richly decorated organ in St Catherine's Church in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany, as its background. The view looks upward into the lofty church interior. An enormous Baroque organ case rises through the centre and left of the picture, densely ornamented with dark wood, gilded carvings, sculpted figures and ranks of silver-grey organ pipes. Pale vaulted ceilings and reddish architectural arches surround it. The extravagant profusion of pipes, sculpture and gilded decoration visually echoes the week's theme of abundance and "more is more."

Large dark-blue lettering at the top reads:

#PalacesandGardens
Thursday, 1 October 2026

Theme: #ItsAJungleOutThere

The challenge invitation reads:
"Find your perfect jungle:"
Three suggested photographic subtopics follow:
*Into the Thicket
*Crowded at the Top
*The Jungle Within

Across the bottom, in very large blue lettering, the poster says:
"Everyone is welcome."

The hashtag #ECK appears in the lower-right corner.

The overall effect is warm, ornate and deliberately abundant: the elaborate historic organ itself serves as an example of the challenge's central idea-finding scenes where nature, architecture, collections or decoration become wonderfully crowded and exuberant.

Superior has a mind all her own. Sometimes her waters are so turquoise blue you'd swear you were in the Caribbean. Other times she looks like this. Brooding, dangerous and cold. Taken at Carden Cove, Marathon, Ont #EastCoastKin #photography #CanadianPhotographer #CanadianRoadTrip #ICM

🪶 Good Morning Everybody, Happy Wednesday Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Raptors; any bird of prey Alt. is #Corvids; any member of the crow family. - A Buzzard on a dead tree in the rain - A curious Eurasian Jay in close up #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography #birdsofbluesky

A Common Buzzard perched on a dead tree in the pouring rain. The bird is right of centre of the shot, with its back turned to the camera but its head turned around to stare at it.
The bird has a brown head, paler around the bill, which is black and hooked. It has a yellow cere above the beak. Its back is a lightly mottled brown, darker as it gets to the tail.
The tree is fully dead with patches of bark missing along the trunk and branches. The trunk travels up along the right hand side of the frame and a horizontal branch, with multiple side branches, holds the buzzard. Another, smaller branch is jutting out above it.
The rain is heavy and large drops can be seen throughout the shot. It gives the shot a hazy appearance. The background is an out of focus wall of trees leaves.

A Eurasian Jay in close up perched at the top of a small bush. The bird is centre of the shot, facing left so that it’s left side is visible.
It has its head raised in an alert pose and is glancing at the camera slightly. It has a thick black bill, white throat and crown, which is streaked with black and a prominent black steak from its beak to its shoulder. Its plumage is pinkish, with bright blue and white barring on the wing coverts, turning to black and white behind it.
Some barely visible, out of focus vegetation in the foreground gives a hazy effect to the birds feet and tail. It is perched on a bare branch, just visible at the bottom of the shot, which has a spur travelling upwards behind the bird to the right. A bush with small, oval green leaves is in the bottom left and the background is a white sky with some out of focus branches visible throughout.

Cape Cod National Seashore from the archives; I’ve posted other photos from this shoot before -it was a gorgeous sunset 🌅 #TidesOutTuesday #EastCoastKin #CapeCod #NationalSeashore #nature #naturephotography #sunset #beach #clouds #CloudSky #goldenhour

The sun sets with an orange glow over a close-up of wavy sand. The sky behind the clouds is blue with thin orange clouds and everything above is reflected below in the low-tide tidal flats

Rooms within rooms - A MassMOCA exhibit from Sam Fresquez - info in alt #AlphabetChallenge #weeklforlooking #art #EastCoastKin #rooms

Sam Frésquez: *
Curated by Ninabah Winton
In ” * “, Sam Frésquez invites viewers into a dreamlike exploration of nested realities — a literal and metaphorical journey through time, memory, and intergenerational knowledge. Beginning with a life-sized kitchen that visitors can physically enter, the installation unfolds as a sequence of six increasingly miniaturized versions of the same space. Each contains meticulously crafted furnishings that shrink proportionally, until reaching the smallest room, which is merely inches tall. This recursive architectural experience creates a visual tunnel that allows viewers to contemplate the compression and expansion of lived histories.
