This was an incredible panel to visit, and so connected to my photographic history as well. #PPortfolioOnBSky 380
A black and white, portrait orientation, photograph of a large rock art panel, apparently mostly on a horizontal panel facing the sky.  A foreshortened set of 4 concentric circles takes a prominent place bottom center, with scores of additional shapes receding to the end of the panel and mountains beyond, as well as some clouds above.

These are usually underwater, lake was lower a few years back. I suspect there's a spring coming out in the center of that middle circle.
A landscape photograph of a lakeshore at dusk, much of the foreground is strange small shapes of rock coming out of the water in an almost fractal pattern, but with a suspuciously round circle without those detailed shapes in the front center.  The sky and its reflection are peach and pink.

@becklovesbooks.bsky.social runs Prideopoly in June and today is the last day. I wanted to share all, the books I’ve read for this challenge. The ones with the 🏳️‍🌈 were for Prideopoly. It’s been so fun and I never read books this quickly. I’ll list the prompts and books in the next post. 1/2
A tiny cover collage summary of the 10 books I read in June via StoryGraph. The covers not mentioned in the original post are Seams Like Murder, and The Tapestry of Fate.

More ice cave goodness. #PPortfolioOnBSky 325
A photograph glacial ice from inside an ice cave, the result is abstract curves and forms in lea and aqua, with streaks of black, some nearly straight, some curved, some quite scribbly.

I've only had one opportunity to experience an ice cave, a second excursion a few years later was cancelled (with good reason) because of unsafe conditions. It was magical, I wish I could experience it one more time. #PPortfolioOnBSky 324
A photograph from inside an ice cave, by appearance very abstract.  curves of shades of blue and black curve approximating an upside-down tee, a small pyramid of snow speckled with black pokes into the bottom image toward the right.  The textures of the ice forms are somewhat mottled, the surfaces shiny.

Winter light at Þingvellir. (DYK? For a couple years I had a laptop with an Icelandic keyboard, it had a dedicated Þ key. That wasn't for an Iceland trip, instead I bought it during a 5-hour layover in Iceland on my way to Greenland after the theft of my previous laptop.) #PPortfolioOnBSky 301
A color landscape photograph, mostly sky, with a thin strip of land at the bottom, mostly in shadow.  A snow-covered peak rises from the right and picks up the low peach-yellow light.  A band of clouds, some peach-yellow, some darker, reaches left about halfway up the image,  another band of clouds reaches across the top of the image.

This isn't perfect, but I love it and it is a single long-exposure shot, not a composite. Rarely for me, this show had a bit of a plan behind it or at least the idea of looking across the bow with a long enough time exposure to render bergy bits in the water with streaks. 1/ #PPortfolioOnBSky 281
A photograph of a passenger ship bow, with 5 figures looking outward, mostly with cameras.  The ship deck has a layer of snow and footprints through it.  Beyond the ship you see grey water with streaks of white, snowy mountains and moody clouds.  The "streaks" of white in the water suggest a great deal of movement.

A photograph of a bird taking flight from having perched on a tripod.  Only the head of the tripod is visible, the bird has wings stretched and is facing right, with the tripod starting to tilt to the right.  Out of focus in the background a bay, some hills, blue sky with some clouds, and a couple of distant human figures (maybe at a green raft) can be made out.  The bird (a caracara) is brown with a yellow/black beak.

Steam. (There's also a whole story digression about the morning I shot this, that I'll branch out in the comments.)
A landscape photograph.  Bottom right, a vent of steam rises from a roughly circular opening in a shining porcelain-like surface, bends up and to the left, and flows into larger clouds of steam that cover much of the left and back of the image.  The colors are pastel, most of the steam lit in warm light but the vent itself slightly bluer.
