photographySep 19, 20262787,969

Today's Blue Sky Art Show theme is "Golden", a prompt for images and artworks that emphasize golden light, color, and tones. The gallery centers on golden-hour landscapes and sunsets, macro nature shots, and wildlife rendered in warm light. Standout entries name specific subjects: a Painted Lady and a Julia butterfly caught in golden light, a fuzzily golden bumblebee on a blue Ceratostigma, and a bison posed in golden grasslands. Also featured are reflective swan scenes, seaside goldenrod in East Hampton, and a comet photograph titled "Comet of Commemoration"; browse posts under #Golden and #BlueSkyArtShow to see them.

When the low sun transforms nature into pure gold. ✨ These little 'helicopter' seeds look absolutely magical in the backlight. #BlueSkyArtShow #golden #Stunday #MacroMonday #thelittlethings #photography #nature #ECK

A close-up of dried, light-brown maple seeds hanging from thin twigs. The photograph was taken against strong backlight, causing the seeds’ delicate, wing-like structures to glow golden and appear almost transparent. In the background, the surface of a river reflects the sunlight, creating a heavily blurred, sparkling bokeh of bright circles of light.

This is stunning, dear Rina! 😍 Have a great day 🤗🫶

Mother Nature's gorgeous chandeliers, all set against beautiful back light. Beautiful light (and Bokeh)! The neutral palette really brings out the light, the gold, & the background, imo. It's subtle brown high & low tones make the indescribable (counterbalancing) difference, I'm guessing.

Good morning all, have a fine Saturday and weekend ✨️ Here is a golden sunset on a winterday back in 2025 for the #BlueSkyArtShow #Golden #ECK #mobilephonephotography Not everything that glitters is gold It is you who brings light to life.

A lovely golden sunset and beautiful sky that is reflected in the water. So as the naked trees and both side from the canal. Even in the winter the grass is still green and full with golden leaves.

Strong photograph of Big Ben....

Windy B.1

Outstanding, Bill. I’ve viewed many shots of Ben, but your (what I like to call “off-center, center) angle is superb, and you’ve caught the light just right. 👩‍🍳💋

Kafka1

Is this one of the 3 most beautiful golden buildings in the world, tied with the original Notre Dame & the Louvre? I'd argue, Yes. And your photo shows why. 💛❤️‍🔥

What’s Next Photography1

It’s splendid to finally see Parlament and Big Ben without scaffolding.

Today's #BlueskyArtShow theme is #golden. What better way to celebrate it than with a post of my favorite snag. Golden hour along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico on the Florida Panhandle. I love this spot. #photography #landscape #ECK #sunrise #ocean #GulfOfMexico #nature #GoldenHour

Good morning Material riches many seek Harden elements of celestial supernovas from our earth dug Useful elements assigned to adorn the body as to not feel weak Real wealth free to the vulnerable self in a simple natures hug #BlueSkyArtShow #golden #bloomscrolling #imageandverse #photography #ECK

Beautiful flower. Beams the colour. Have a great day. It's good night from downunder.

When I visit Winkworth Arboretum I always go either up or down these steep Azalea Steps. In May the azaleas surrounding the steps are stunning and in autumn a great variety of trees incl. many acers/maples provide the colour. #BlueSkyArtShow #Golden #Trees #SurreyHills #Landscape #Photography

There is no avoiding a long steep slope when getting down to the lake at Winkworth which is just behind where I took this photo. The effort is always rewarded with beautiful colours of nature.

A flock of Canada geese 🍁 passes in front of the rising sun at the morning #golden hour as a new dawn rises over California’s Central Valley. #BlueSkyArtShow #sunrise #hope #birds #nature #photography #ECK

A flock of 11 geese fly in front of a blood red sun, which appears striped because of low clouds. Underneath a dark band of clouds the sky is lighter orange with more clouds and foothills. Irrigation water spouts are white against a line of trees in the distance.

Red-shouldered hawk #rouse AB posted today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #Elegant, & for contrast the alt. is #Scruffy. Mine’s a twofer from 9/12. That scruffy look isn't the wind—it's "rousing," a behavior where they fluff up, & shake to reset their feathers. #birds #ECK #threewordgenre #blueskyartshow
