We're in a heatwave here so yesterday I went to the forest early in the day to get out of the sun. The shade definitely helped and the trees were lit up in green and gold with a soft early morning haze. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

Early morning light filtered through an overgrown close planted forest of pines.

A black insect with yellow bands on its abdomen clings upside down to a spherical green and white flower cluster on a thin green stem. The insect has a textured black head and thorax with thin yellow lines. Its abdomen features a pattern of alternating black and yellow bands, with some bands appearing as pairs of yellow spots. The insect’s legs are reddish-brown and covered in fine bristles, and its semi-transparent wings are a tawny yellow color, hanging down below its body and the flower. The spherical flower head is composed of many tiny, four-petaled white flowers. A single lance-shaped green leaf extends to the left in the blurred green background.

Guys it’s a beautiful day here so dog and camera time. Please take care of yourselves. I will be back to go through the BOTD entries. Here’s a Ringlet Butterfly framed by Mother Nature. Think she does a better job than us. Taken yesterday. #Butterfly #BloomScrolling #photography #ECK #Ireland

A ringlet butterfly rests on the pale purple flower of a creeping thistle in a summer meadow. Its closed brown wings display a row of distinctive cream-ringed black eyespots, while its long proboscis reaches into the flower for nectar. The butterfly is framed by gently arching meadow grasses and pink-tinged seed heads, with unopened deep purple thistle buds below and a softly blurred green background that draws attention to the delicate textures of the insect and wildflower. The image captures a quiet moment of pollination amid the natural beauty of an Irish grassland.

'Archival Arches' I miss the beautiful Manhattan skyline greeting me with views like this. Sparty 🙏🏼🖤🤍 #ECK #Photography #AltText #Scape #BWFri #ClassicMono #ArtYear #Art #Travel #Architecture #PhotographersOfBlueSky

A photo capturing a striking, high-contrast, mono perspective of the Queensboro Bridge in NYC, travelling into Manhattan.

The composition is intricately framed through the massive, interlocking steel framework of the bridge's upper superstructure. Bold, geometric lattice girders, heavy iron rivets, and crisscrossing metal beams dominate the upper three-quarters of the frame. This industrial framework creates a series of dynamic, layered arches that frame the distant urban landscape below. The repetitive, sharp patterns of the cantilever bridge design draw the eye across the image from left to right. Beneath the dense canopy of steel, a sweeping view of the midtown Manhattan skyline unfolds across the background. The iconic silhouettes of several prominent skyscrapers are clearly visible. The unmistakable, pointed spire of the Chrysler Building and the classic, tiered pinnacle of the Empire State Building stand out distinctly against the sky. Other dense, blocky high-rises and office towers fill out the urban core, creating a jagged, textured horizon line. A subtle, misty haze hangs over the city buildings, softening their details and providing a beautiful atmospheric contrast to the sharp, dark lines of the foreground steel. In the lower portion of the image, the smooth, dark expanse of the bridge's roadway stretches horizontally. A single light-coloured vehicle is visible on the far right, driving along the deck, which emphasises the immense scale of the bridge. The sky above is a uniform, overcast grey, casting a soft, diffused light across the entire scene. The monochromatic editing enhances the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the gritty texture of the weathered metal and the complex architectural engineering of this historic connection between Queens and Manhattan. The incredible complexity of the steel beams draws immediate focus toward the craftsmanship of the structure, echoing an era of monumental urban growth and engineering mastery.

My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said: “ Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Quackers, any Duck will do, the Alt theme is #Swans, any Swan will do.” I’m going with the alt as this Swan gave me so many pics the day I met her. I need to use them all up. 😂 #birds #photography #ECK

A close-up portrait of a mute swan gliding across calm blue water in warm golden light. Its elegant neck curves gracefully downward as it lowers its orange-and-black bill to the surface, creating delicate concentric ripples. Tiny water droplets sparkle on the swan’s white feathers, while its vivid orange bill is mirrored in the still water below. The reflection stretches into soft, abstract shapes, echoing the swan’s curved neck and adding an artistic quality to the tranquil scene. The low-angle light enhances the creamy plumage against the rich blue water, capturing a quiet moment of calm and contemplation.

This is from a little wooded section of the walk around Howth headland. A marvellous walk when the sun is out. The main section at the old lighthouse gets very busy as it's popular with tourists and locals alike but this is from a more secluded spot further inland from the coast walk.

Steller’s Jay perched on a weathered log, its crest raised and body angled slightly forward as it watches the space ahead. Deep black head and shoulders transition into vivid blue wings and tail, glowing softly against a blurred green forest background. The bird is still, alert, and composed, holding a rare moment of quiet reflection in an otherwise lively corvid presence.

$A dramatic seascape at Cullercoats unfolds beneath a tumultuous, overcast sky dominated by heavy, dark clouds. The sky occupies the upper half of the frame, filled with dense, low-hanging stratocumulus formations in shades of charcoal, slate blue, and deep indigo. Near the centre, a bright, diffuse break in the clouds allows stark, pale white sunlight to pierce through, casting an ethereal, high-contrast glow over the scene. To the far right, a small flock of birds is visible as tiny, dark silhouettes flying against a slightly lighter patch of sky. Below the horizon line, which sits straight and cuts horizontally through the centre of the image, lies a calm, expansive North Sea. The water appears dark and cold, its surface reflecting the moody tones of the sky above. On the left side of the frame, a dark, rugged cliffside juts slightly into the sea. Atop this cliff, a thin, faint silhouette of a railing can be seen against the horizon, indicating a coastal path viewpoint. The foreground is dominated by a wide, rocky shoreline exposed at low tide. This intertidal zone is covered with dark, fractured, and wet rocks that create a complex, textured landscape. Large, shallow rock pools have formed within the depressions of the stone shelf. These pools act as mirrors, perfectly reflecting the bright white light from the break in the clouds and the dark, surrounding cloud shapes. The reflections create a striking visual contrast between the stark white, shimmering water surfaces and the rough, matte black rocks surrounding them. The water in the pools is calm and still, emphasising the glassy quality of the reflections. The light glints off the wet surfaces of individual stones, creating scattered, bright highlights across the foreground. The overall colour palette is slightly desaturated, leaning into cool tones of blue, grey, black, and white, which intensifies the somber, powerful, and isolated atmosphere of this coastal landscape.$

Good morning folks. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #QuietReflection any bird paused in thought. Alt #SunriseSunset bird captures taken during either. Good luck! #birds #photography #ECK

A female blackbird stands quietly on a moss-covered perch, her warm brown plumage glowing in soft natural light. With her head slightly turned and one eye fixed on the distance, she appears lost in thought, as though pausing to consider her next move. Her golden-brown eye and yellow-orange bill are sharply in focus against a smooth green and beige background, while her relaxed posture lends the portrait a calm, reflective feel. The shallow depth of field isolates her beautifully, creating an intimate moment that invites the viewer to imagine the quiet thoughts of one of Ireland’s most familiar garden birds.

I've been trying out some long-exposure photography lately. Shanghai seemed like a good place to start! A brief insight into my shortcomings in the alt text 😆 #coloraday #redwed #Photography #eck #Art #Scape #Landscape #wednesday #BlueSky #nature #longexposure #yellowthur #urbangaze #travel #china

So I showed up to this bridge in Shanghai for light trails and ran into a squad of local Chinese uncles, some sporting "Beijing bras", rocking massive, pro-grade tripods like the veterans they are. Traveling light means I don’t have room for that luxury.

So, I dropped into an Asian squat (nailed it now) right in the middle of them and whipped out my tackle, a mini tripod. Cue a round of laughter at my setup (all in good jest, of course). Kneeling and thoroughly emasculated, I pushed through the peer pressure to get this shot while everyone literally looked down on me! 😂
