#ForestFriday #Scape This morning's hike in San Luis Obispo. Don't take this trail if you're afraid of heights. 😁 #ECK #Hiking #LandscapePhotography #Photography #WestCoastKin

A shady, very narrow trail cuts into the steep side of Cerro San Luis mountain. Rocks line the downward slope side, other rocks are in the middle of the trail, and finally, some are above the trail. There are some shrubs and other vegetation illuminated by the sun growing on the mountainside. Below are the city of San Luis Obispo, morning fog burning off, and more mountains in the far distance. The sky is blue.

A wee bumblebee clings to the golden centre of a vivid pink flower, with pollen scattered across its fuzzy black-and-yellow body and legs. A glint catches its dark eye, and a delicate brown wing extends behind it. Softly blurred pink blooms and green foliage fill the background.

The Hertford Bridge (or Bridge of Sighs) joins the old and new quadrangles of Hertford College at Oxford University. #UrbanGaze #Photography #ECK #Oxford

Resembling the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, this bridge was built in 1914, to connect the college's administration offices with a student accommodation building. It is built of cotswold stone and straddles New College Lane.

Beaux-Arts grandeur Documenting the European architectural legacy in Buenos Aires The striking dome and ornate balconies capture the historic elegance of the city urban design #architecture #buenosaires #travel #urban #history #luiscordobapharchive #bas #argentina #streetphotography #europeandesign

Low-angle street photograph of a grand Beaux-Arts style corner building in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The cream-colored facade features multi-story stone construction with ornate iron balconies, large rectangular windows, and a massive, detailed grey slate mansard dome with a central cupola at the zenith. The ground floor shows a large arched entryway and granite stone textures. Pedestrians walk on the cobblestone street below. Overcast, diffused natural light emphasizes the architectural details and structural mass. Optimized for Beaux-Arts architecture, Buenos Aires historic buildings, French neoclassical influence in Argentina, urban design, and historic cityscapes indexing.

A staggering volcanic skeleton dominating the desert! This towering formation known as Ship Rock, located in northwestern New Mexico, is the petrified remnant of an explosive volcanic eruption that occurred around 30 million years ago.

The sun kisses one ocean goodbye, and another hello. Every end is a beginning somewhere.

Photo by Travis Rupert. The sun hovers just above the horizon, casting molten gold across the surface of gently rolling waves. The sea breathes in slow pulses, washing over the shore with a shimmer that stretches toward the camera like a path of light. Sky and water melt into each other, shifting from deep blue to soft amber, as if the world is holding its breath at the edge of day.

Every Day Should Be Earth Day!! The Ribbon Eel is a striking Eel found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. About 51 inches long, they have high dorsal fins, flared nostrils used to sense movement, breathing through an open & closed mouth to pump water over their body. Diet of small fish, shellfish. See Alt 👇

The Ribbon Eel, or Moray Eel with its striking colors is known for its vibrant color changes and unique reproductive biology. It has a long slender body, high dorsal fins that run the length of the body, flared nostrils to sense movement and breathe with their mouth open in an open and close manner to pump water over their body. Start life as males and transform to females as they age with colors changing with their transformation. Found in Sandy burrows or along coral reefs they will be under the sand with only their head sticking up to hunt and ambush its prey. Diet includes small fish and shellfish. They swim in a slow undulating motion . Listed as least concerned that status is rapidly changing with the climate change. Lives 20 years in the wild. Does not adapt to aquarium conditions and usually only lives a month in captivity.

I find photographing flowers very uplifting. When I was younger, doing creative work helped me cope. These days it feels much lighter. (I guess it worked?) Passiflora 'Susan Brigham' under UV light.
