Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Earth'

photographyAug 15, 202637516,622

The Blue Sky Art Show theme today is Earth, a community gallery centered on landscapes, nature, and everyday scenes tied to the planet. Work on view emphasizes wide-open places and close-up life, with sunsets and silhouettes over shorelines, volcanic and mountain panoramas, woodland paths and meadows, and small wildlife and plant studies. Concrete examples include a Bryce Canyon National Park landscape, an Irish summer meadow photo with a butterfly, and a Dunnock spotted in a south Cheshire orchard. Look for posts tagged #Earth to explore the full set.

#Blueskyartshow #Earth #Nationalparks #scape It is the sort of country that makes a person stop walking for a while—not because the trail has ended, but because for a few moments there seems nowhere better to go.

Along Bowman Creek, the country opens into a grand assembly of meadow, forest, mountain, and sky. Late-summer grasses have ripened to gold, spreading across the foreground, while a quiet reach of water catches a narrow strip of blue beyond them. Then comes the dark-green forest, dense and unbroken, climbing steadily toward the stone.

Above it rise the mountains—great layered ramparts of gray and brown rock, their sedimentary bands laid bare by frost, water, and ancient ice. The broad summit at left stands massive and almost architectural, while sharper peaks toward the center and right break the skyline into crags, notches, and shadowed gullies. Forest climbs high upon their lower slopes before surrendering to naked stone.

Over this rugged company sails a wonderfully blue Montana sky scattered with brilliant white clouds. One great cloud gathers above the eastern ridge like a luminous mountain of its own, changing shape while the stone beneath seems immovable.

I’ll always cherish this picture, as it’s one of my last memories of driving through Montana. I had to stop and soak it all in—the golden fields, the trees, the mountains, and that incredible sky. No photo can truly capture it, but this one comes very close. Have a wonderful Saturday.😍❤️❤️

Tell your congresspeople to stop trump selling our public land, including our national parks. National parks are so much more than mining sites or profit centers Tell your congresspeople this, weekly

Been in places like this many times…always the same reaction, pure Awe.

Yes! Been in country like that and it makes you want to find a place to sit and just soak it all in.

Reminds me of this old ditty: When the sun goes down, the tide goes out,The people gather 'round and they all begin to shout,“Hey! Hey! Uncle Dud,It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi Mud!”

A blush of sky in subtle hues o're a thin-veiled wash of sun-warmed waters.... as day bows down 'fore dusk's approach. Light streams the line 'tween one and the other, as lips of air and clouds and sea press together as evening arrives.

Just passing through folks. Forgot about the #BlueSkyArtShow Took this a couple of days ago and it just made me think of the true beauty Mother #Earth gives us. Hope you all have the best of weekends. An Irish Summer Meadow #photography #Butterfly #BloomScrolling #Ireland #ECK

A Cabbage White butterfly rests with its delicate white wings spread wide on a bright yellow wildflower. Its pale wings are marked with small dark spots, while slender green stems and scattered yellow and pink wildflowers fill the meadow around it. A bee can also be seen foraging among the flowers below, adding to this lovely snapshot of summer meadow life.

Ah, the flavour chemistry of freshly ground salt and pepper on sliced tomatoes...

OkieYank5

I grew up in South Jersey and there was always an abundance of produce stands. When we would visit my cousins in the Philly suburbs, their nickname for us was "Jersey Tomatoes". It's definitely a thing.

rsleonard73.bsky.social3

People who've never had a good Jersey tomato don't understand that it is entirely different from what you can buy at even the best grocery stores elsewhere. Sad!

normal person3

That is the absolutely perfect sandwich! I'd kill for one of those Jersey tomatoes right now.

purplegnu.bsky.social2

Had a cream cheese with tomato and basil sandwich earlier. :)

JERSEY tomatoes are the best...I miss that farm stand near my house on Rt.18 in Hopewell

A photograph of a striking sunset over the sea. A bright orange, round sun hangs low on the horizon, streaked by thin, dark veils of cloud. The sky is bathed in warm shades of deep orange, red and brown. The calm sea gently reflects the fading light. In the foreground, stretching along the bottom edge of the image, is the dark silhouette of a coastline with scattered leaves on the left-hand side.

I gotta say that with the way things are now, if man had somehow established a colony on Mars & travel there was safe, I'd still stay here. why tf would anyone want to live on a barren planet w/ no O2 or H2O. #Earth is my home & here's why in only 4 pics. #BlueSkyArtShow

No place like it and I’d stay, too. But anyone who wants to go should probably get on it, chop chop, don’t let the door hit them, etc.

#BlueskyArtShow #Earth To me, this image represents how we are mere specks on this earth. (Note people on the beach) #ECK #Australia #LandscapePhotography #Photography #PaintByWords #Cliff

The perspective is from a higher ground, looking out at the flat land of Australia. However, there are high cliffs lining an ocean inlet that culminates in a sandy beach spotted with people that look like specks. The tops of the cliffs are covered with dark green vegetation, the cliffs are red rock and soil, while the inlet/cove water is a soft foam green. The sky is a light blue with white clouds, rather hazy. The entire image gives a sense of how vast the earth's geography is, and when you see the specks of people, it's humbling how insignificant we are.

Reminds me of standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Tourist next to me asks his companion: "but why is it so hazy? I can hardly see the other side." Me, butting in: "That is just because the other side is, like, 25 miles away." Tourist: *looks totally baffled*

#10minutesfromhome #BlueskyArtShow #Earth Holcombe Moor last week at dusk

A photo looking across Holcombe Moor last Saturday evening just before sunset.
In the foreground wass a large expanse of wild grasses singed by the hot summer weather.
Beyond the grasses are hills and vales that stretch out into the distance. The hills were softly out of focus as I focused on the foreground.
The sky above had a thin layer of cloud with a hazy sun shining through

...on pourrait dire aussi que la Nature à elle seule est une poétesse unique et éternelle.Poésie de ses êtres infinis et tellement attendrissants.Poésie qui adoucit nos vies tumultueuses.Poésie qui nous fait rêver à d'autres mondes, à d'autres paysages.Poésie de la Nature avec notre propre âme...
