#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #3rdPlace I have so many pictures of coffee in my phone. I think coffeehouses are my 3rd Place by default. This one is "Capetto" in Edinburgh 02 Oct 2026.

The café below street level. Red tables and chairs are framed by stone steps leading down into the small courtyard.

A secluded cove opening to the Strait of Juan de Fuca - between the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State and the southern coast Vancouver Island. A pebble beach and Madrona trees frame the narrow aperture under a clear blue sky.

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Big

L'Ange Protecteur,' or 'The Guardian Angel,' is piece by the French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle. This colorful, joyful sculpture, with its signature "Nanas" style – which celebrates the female form with bold, exuberant figures – has been a beloved fixture in Zurich's Hauptbahnhof (main train station) since 1997. It measures 11 meters (36ft) tall and weighs 1.2 tonnes (1.3 short tons), and is a familiar sight to Zurich commuters. (The sculpture’s colorful attire and golden wings are dusted every three months. As Niki de Saint Phalle used watercolors, the angel can only be carefully cleaned with a duster and a compressed air spray, for otherwise the colors would fade.)

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Wide The Hood Canal Bridge spanning the channel separating the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas of Western Washington State. (Or as I like to think of it, the bridge to adventure!) #PNW #PacificNorthwest

Opened in 1961, the Hood Canal Bridge is the world's longest floating bridge in a saltwater tidal basin, notable for its 39 concrete pontoons that allow it to float on deep, tidal waters. The bridge is a vital link for commuters and travelers, but its drawspan must open for marine traffic, including submarines, and it can close for maintenance or high winds.

Key Features:
Length: 7,869 feet total, with a floating section of 6,521 feet.

Structure: Supported by 39 concrete pontoons, designed to handle deep water and tidal forces.

Marine Traffic: The drawspan opens for large vessels, including military submarines.

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Growth

The study of tree rings is called dendrochronology. Each ring you see represents one year of the tree's growth. The wider rings usually indicate good growing conditions, like plenty of rain and sunlight, while thinner rings suggest tougher years, perhaps due to drought or cold.
By looking at the pattern of these rings, scientists can figure out not only how old a tree is, but also reconstruct past climates, like when there were major droughts, heavy rainfall, or even forest fires.
