Taking a Break I’m just back from a wonderful trip to the Canary Islands and I feel like I’m in need of continuing my break from screens and social media for a bit. I’ll catch up with you all and your fabulous photos and posts soon. Go well, my friends 🤗🥰 #Scape #EastCoastKin #TakingABreak
A tranquil coastal sunset scene with the sea stretching into the distance. The sky is painted in soft gradients of pastel pink, orange, and purple, with wispy clouds catching the last light. In the foreground, several tall palm trees stand in silhouette, their fronds gently fanned out. To the right, a dark, rugged headland curves into the water, and below it, faint outlines of buildings and terraces suggest a seaside resort.

Flying Towards the Sunshine From my recent flight from the UK to the Canary Islands. #BlueSkyMonday #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin
Bright sunlight bursts into the frame from the upper left, sending long rays across a deep blue sky above a vast blanket of white clouds seen from an airplane window. Below, scattered cotton-like clouds cast soft shadows on the blue ocean, where patches of sunlight shimmer on the water’s surface. Lens flares sparkle across the sky, emphasising the dazzling brightness and the immense, open view above the cloud tops. ☀️✈️

Corridor of Light Puerto Calero, Lanzarote I flew in yesterday and was hoping to get this shot as I’d done something similar here before. Thankfully it worked. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetTechPhoto #LightAndShadow #StunDay #ClassicMono #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin
A dramatic, high-contrast black and white photograph of a long hotel corridor in Lanzarote. On the left, a repetitive line of tall glass doors allows bright sunlight to stream in, casting a series of sharp, parallel horizontal shadows across the dark, tiled floor. The floor tiles are laid in a diamond pattern, and the perspective of the narrow hallway leads the eye toward a dark, shadowed area at the far end. The interplay of light and deep shadow creates a striking, rhythmic geometric effect throughout the interior.

The Colosseum Ancient stones remember the roar, Of crowds that filled this ground before Now quiet arches face the sky, While centuries wander slowly by. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInteriors #StunDay #ImageAndVerse #ColorADay #OrangeSun #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin
Interior view of the Colosseum, showing the vast oval arena and exposed underground hypogeum where gladiators and animals were once kept. Tiered stone arches and weathered walls rise in layers around the amphitheatre, while visitors walk along the upper galleries. The ancient structure glows warm gold beneath a bright blue sky streaked with soft clouds, highlighting the immense scale of Rome’s most famous Roman amphitheatre.

A vibrant, sun-drenched interior view of a bunch of pink and deep purple tulips in a dark jug sitting on a white windowsill. The bright sunlight streams through the glass, making the petals look almost translucent and highlighting the lush green leaves. In the background, a blurred garden with a large tree and a clear blue sky is visible through the window panes.

The Cascade A man-made waterfall built in 1789 at Virginia Water, Windsor Great Park Today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Flowing #ColorADay #GreenSat #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin
The stone cascade at Virginia Water Cascade, where water tumbles down a series of broad, stepped rocks into a dark pool below. The waterfall is surrounded by lush green woodland, with sunlight filtering through the leafy canopy above. Built in the 18th century as part of the landscaped park around Virginia Water Lake in Windsor Great Park, the cascade was designed to look like a natural waterfall and remains one of the park’s most photographed features.

Just after sunrise on the Grand Union Canal at Birdingbury Wharf, Warwickshire on the 4th of March 2026 #Scape #Canal #Warwickshire
Image shows the Grand Union Canal at Birdingbury Wharf as viewed from the A426 bridge over the canal. The canal has a gentle curve to the right and disappears out of view behind some canal side scrub. It was a slightly misty morning and both the sky and the canal were orange/yellow in colour. An orange  un is visible behind some bare tree branches on the left hand side of the canal. The water is still apart from a few ripples towards the bottom left corner of the image that slightly distort the reflected tree branches in this part of the image.

Painting: A mixed media abstract landscape on an unnaturally greenish background; land is arranged in a somewhat circular formation, and a bare tree appears upper left.  The entire painting is covered with random marks, creating visual texture.

#scape on the river just now. #ColorADay #BWFri Have a lovely Friday☕☕☀️
A black and white, minimalist, photograph of two people in a rowing shell on a perfectly still body of water. The rowers and their boat are centered, creating a crisp silhouette that is mirrored in the glass-like surface below.
The horizon line is low and thin, featuring distant, sparse trees and buildings on the far left. The sky and the water blend almost seamlessly into a soft, hazy white and grey gradient, giving the image a serene, ethereal, and timeless quality.

Salisbury Cathedral #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInteriors #ColorADay #BWFri #ClassicMono #architecture #Scape #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin
A high-angle black and white photograph looking down the long nave of Salisbury Cathedral. The interior features a striking perspective with rows of tall, slender columns and repetitive pointed Gothic arches leading the eye toward the distant altar. In the foreground, a modern, dark cruciform-shaped baptismal font sits centrally on the patterned stone floor. Symmetrical rows of chairs are arranged throughout the space, and a few small figures of people provide a sense of the cathedral's immense scale.

Sunbeams stream through tall, closely spaced trees in a quiet forest, illuminating mist and the leaf-covered ground. The scene has a cool blue tone, with long shafts of light breaking through the trunks and creating a dramatic, almost ethereal atmosphere among the shadows.

High-contrast black-and-white photo of a rocky shoreline at low tide, with shallow pools of water reflecting light in the foreground. A narrow ridge of rock leads toward the horizon, while dramatic, textured clouds fill the sky and the sun breaks through near the centre, casting a bright glow across the water and wet rocks. A fence or sea wall runs along the left edge, and dark land stretches across the distant horizon.

An atmospheric black and white photograph of the interior of "The Vaults" theatre and arts space, located within the famous Leake Street Arches (also known as the "Banksy Tunnel") beneath Waterloo station in London. This renowned legal graffiti zone features a deep, arched tunnel entirely covered in intricate street art, including a large, realistic pair of eyes painted on the ceiling. A glowing neon sign in the shape of a blimp, which reads "THE VAULTS," is suspended from the centre of the arched roof. A small group of people stands in the middle of the tunnel, illustrating the immense scale of this unique underground interior.

The foreground features a row of empty, classic barber chairs draped with red and white striped cloths, alongside a line of white porcelain sinks. Reflections on the window pane add depth to the scene, which is lit by glowing overhead lamps.
