Happy Tuesday! It was overcast today so here is another photo from yesterday's stellar sunrise, this one taken about 10 minutes before the sun broke the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Bubbles #BlueSkyMonday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin
Abstract macro image of translucent bubbles made by mixing oil with water suspended in deep blue liquid, with varying sizes forming an organic cluster; highlights and reflections create a glowing, almost cosmic effect.

You can see two bare winter trees on the shore. The sky above the lake is coloured blue and orange, and the water glows golden. In the background, you can see the Swiss Alps still glowing in the sun.

Happy Monday! It's a new week! We had one of our top 10 sunrises of the year, reasonably easy to achieve given that we are only five days in 😄. But in all seriousness it was a major stunner on every front. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Trees on the rim of Bryce Canyon face some challenges. Young and old exist on the edge of the precipice. #JanuArty #tree #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #clouds #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #NewYear
Monochrome image of trees at the rim of Bryce Canyon, Utah, USA. Pines on the left appear pretty healthy. A bare trunked and branched tree on the right still hanging on. There are sunny rock cliffs to the left, hazy distant hills and a sky full of large, puffy clouds.

Looking Over The Pond The year turns softly, breath held still, As light finds courage in the cold. Reflections whisper: start again - New stories waiting to be told. #StunDay #ImageAndVerse #ColorADay #OrangeSun #AlphabetChallenge #ThemesWeek (C for Colourful or S for Sky) #EastCoastKin
A tranquil waterside at dusk, with bare winter trees silhouetted against a pastel sky of soft blues, pinks and gold. Houses glow with warm lights along the far bank, reflected in the calm pond, creating a peaceful scene suggestive of renewal and quiet beginnings.

Framed 3. #nature #forest #photography #wander #Teutoburgerwald
A forest scene with tall tree trunks standing close together, viewed through a soft, dark foreground formed by out-of-focus moss or vegetation. Diffused light filters through light fog or haze, creating a bright background behind the trees. A small cluster of remaining autumn leaves is visible between the trunks. The forest floor is covered with fallen leaves, and muted tones of green, brown, and pale white dominate the scene, emphasizing depth, vertical lines, and a quiet, atmospheric woodland setting.

Golden sunrise over an Irish landscape, with dramatic dark-blue clouds edged in warm orange light. Sunbeams stream through gaps in the clouds, illuminating distant rolling hills and casting shimmering gold reflections across calm water in the foreground.

Always a delightful sighting, the elusive tiger of the Rissne forest. It´s a lucky day when our paths meet. This is my version of purr-adise. 🧡 #Januarty #Matching #FelineFriday #ForestFriday #Photography #cat #EastCoastKin
An orange cat walks down a snowy cliff, following tracks in the snow. The orange light from the sun perfectly highlights its fur. In the background, the edge of the forest also glows orange. In the sky, a contrail left by an airplane is visible

A photo of Heaton Park on boxing day.
Looking through a copse of trees as the golden sun was setting in the distance. 
The sun's rays shining through the branches.
Mist from a nearby smoke machine folks the air.( from a recent light festival) 
People can be seen walking along a path in the distance.

Good morning, Bluesky☀️ It's been a while, but I'm happy to be back and contributing to #BirdoftheDay #GoodLight with this photo of some #Sandpipers taken yesterday at sunrise. Wishing you a lovely Friday. #FlyDay #EastCoastKin #birds #photography #photographersofbluesky #AtlanticOcean #Florida
5 Sandpipers in various flight positions fly just over the light blue, sunlit, Atlantic Ocean. Small swells and white foam make up the foreground, and more blurred small swells and ocean make up the background.
