Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Earth'

Blue Sky Art ShowAug 15, 202636816,403

An expansive meadow, forest, mountain and sky along Bowman Creek gave the literal, panoramic reading of #Earth. Others went microscopic, a sea urchin shell that rested on black volcanic rock, and some grounded the theme in everyday life, a doe and her fawn framed through a kitchen window.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

A wide view across a barren geothermal landscape in Iceland, where the raw earth is exposed in layers of rust-red, ochre, pale beige and sulphurous yellow. A narrow, milky-grey stream winds through a deeply eroded channel from the foreground towards the distant hills, drawing the eye into a terrain shaped by water, heat and geological forces. Almost no vegetation softens the ground, giving the scene a primordial, otherworldly quality. Above it, a vast blue-grey sky is filled with heavy, turbulent clouds, touched unexpectedly by small patches of soft pink light. The contrast between the fragile colour in the sky and the scarred, mineral-rich ground below creates a dramatic yet strangely beautiful sense of Earth as something ancient, restless and still being shaped.

Our photograph captures the dramatic partial solar eclipse seen over Ireland on Wednesday, 12 August 2026. During this rare event, the Moon passed in front of the Sun, leaving only a brilliant crescent of sunlight visible. Ireland experienced one of the deepest partial phases of the eclipse, with roughly 94% or more of the Sun obscured in many locations. At the centre of the image, the remaining crescent of the Sun glows intensely through a bank of thick, turbulent clouds. Its brilliant white light is surrounded by a soft golden halo, creating the impression of a glowing celestial sliver emerging from the darkness. The sky is filled with layers of heavy, textured clouds, ranging from pale grey and silver to almost black. Some cloud edges are brightly illuminated by the hidden Sun, while deeper layers appear brooding and shadowy. Dark, silhouetted branches and leaves frame the scene in the foreground, their delicate shapes contrasting strongly with the luminous clouds behind them. Several leaves appear almost black against the brightness of the eclipse.The overall effect is atmospheric and otherworldly. A fleeting moment when daylight seems subdued and the familiar Irish sky takes on an almost nocturnal character. Our photograph beautifully captures the sense of rarity and mystery surrounding this exceptional eclipse, which was the most significant visible from Ireland since 1999. Finally, today picture is finished with a simple white border frame.
