Today I saw an incredible number of lovely #flowers , but I think this one was the most stunning. 😊💗 Tänään näin uskomattoman määrän aivan ihastuttavia kukkia, tämä taisi olla kaikkein upein... #valokuvataivas #kukat #Helsinki #Annala #photography #flowers #summer

It's #Stunday. I've never seen a better cloud day over the St. Marks Lighthouse than on this day. This is an #infrared image at 720nm. This image was part of a solo exhibition of infrared images in the summer of 2019 in Tallahassee FL. #photography #landscape #ECK #bnw #monochrome #Kolari #Nikon

These lion brothers are two of the most beautiful I’ve ever encountered anywhere in Africa. The dark, flowing manes complement their powerful bodies, making them an intimidating wildlife encounter. Okavango Delta, Botswana

The most famous scheese factory in The Netherlands. But even after having been here for so many times, the flowers on the foreground on this day were special. I never saw them again.

A dirt road that turns to the left with Vietnames woman and men in traditional clothing walking towards a market around the corner (that's inside information for you, because you can't acutally see the market, but I know, because I was there ;-)).

The scene 🔜 The shot. Slowly motoring in the fjord on a still morning. The majority of icebergs had congregated near the head of the fjord. All but one berg. Getting closer I could foresee the shot I wanted and finally with everything looking about right I shot the second image. One of my favs...

Anemone It’s week P for Purple In the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPForPurple #Photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #ECK #Macro #Anemone
An anemone in a small, vintage, glass bottle. Flower and bottle are stood on a reflective surface with the flower hanging down towards it. All is reflected with the clearest view of the flower head being the reflection of it.
The image is a square crop with the bottle in the top right and the flower reaching over to the left.

Theme #background, #BlueSkyArtShow Backgrounds of photos are always very important for me like in this photo of a grasshopper I took some years ago. Kuvan tausta on mulle aina hyvin tärkeä, kuten tässä joitakin vuosia sitten ottamassani kesäisessä heinäsirkkakuvassa. #photography #valokuvataivas
A grasshopper on the edge of a fishing dock by the river Vantaanjoki in Helsinki, Finland. Taken on a warm, sunny summer day. 
Aurinkoisen, lämpimän ja tyynen kesäpäivän kuva heinäsirkasta laiturin reunalla, taustalla Vantaanjokea.

It is apparently impossible for an Instagrammer to refrain from having their picture taken while standing on this particular prominence. #WhitePocket #Arizona #VermillionCliffs #wilderness #rockformation #HumansOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #landscape #photography #geology #dunescape #geology
A person, rendered tiny by the vast landscape around them, stands atop a knuckle of white brain rock at the edge of a chasm. The geology of the terrain is astonishingly complex and artistic, as if swirled in a blender. A few puffy clouds hover in a pale blue sky.

As promised, I owe the rhinos a little love. Here's a fun moment from last year, when a young white rhinoceros decided a southern giraffe wasn't welcome at the watering hole.

“For everyone is pained by the thought of disappearing, unheard and unseen, into an indifferent universe.” ~ Milan Kundera ~ #BlueSkyArtShow #sunshine #sunlight #eastcoastkin #birdoftheday #lowkey #naturephotography #onthewing #photographingmood
Photo: Two birds are photographed in flight, both shown from the back showing full wingspan.  Wings are backlit from the sun, shining brilliantly against a black background.  Reeds and grasses appear in the foreground, sparkling in the sun.  A distant tree is out of focus, to the right side in the background.

The definition of #cold is relative here in Finland. While -11°C with wind might be freezing for some, others see it as a nice, easy-going winter weather. #BlueSkyArtShow #winter #valokuvataivas #talvi #Finland Suomeksi ALT:ssa
Trees covered in frost and snow.
Kuuran/lumen peittämiä puita.
#cold (kylmä) on suhteellinen asia täällä Suomessa. :) Esim. -11 asteen pakkanen voi yhdelle olla hyvin kylmä etenkin tuulen kera, toinen taas pitää leppoisana talvikelinä.

Close Up #Photography #AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCloseUp #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A close-up, high-contrast black and white photograph of an adult and an infant. The adult's face is positioned on the left side of the frame, partially obscured, with a focused gaze. The infant is in the foreground on the right, resting it's chin on it's hand, looking directly toward the camera with large, bright eyes. The lighting is dramatic, casting deep shadows and highlighting the textures of the skin and the subtle patterns on the adult's clothing. The composition is tight and intimate, emphasizing the features of both subjects against a dark, underexposed background.
