Blue Sky Art Show

photographyOct 3, 20261715,180

The Blue Sky Art Show is a weekly community event and today’s theme is #3rdPlace. Entries focus on personal go-to spots and scenes that are neither home nor work, shown through landscapes, nature, street photography, woodland walks, and intimate wildlife shots. Standout gallery pieces include a two-minute long exposure of clouds over Colpoy's Bay just before sunrise, a close-up macro of a bee captured in a garden, and an early-morning view of the Rottemeren near Rotterdam. Look for riverside and reservoir views such as the Ashokan Rail Trail, woodland scenes and waterfalls, and quiet interiors like the Hourglass pub under the same theme.

Ha - they look so much like the (made up) "noori" mushrooms in the Korean show "Sold Out On You" 😄

Three dapperlings all vying for first is exactly right, and those delicate ribbed caps make it impossible to pick a winner. 💚

#BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace My 3rd place is the Rottemeren near Rotterdam. Especially in the early morning.

A serene sunrise scene over a calm body of water featuring two traditional Dutch windmills in silhouette on the left shoreline. A thin layer of morning mist hovers over the water and distant trees. The sky is filled with soft pink, orange, and blue hues, crisscrossed by bright airplane vapor trails, with the warm pastel colors reflecting on the water's surface.

My third place has no address. It’s wherever wandering streets takes me with a camera in hand. #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace #StreetPhotography #ClassicMono #Mono #ECK #WhatsNext #UrbanGaze

Black-and-white photograph of a quiet, narrow street in Annecy, France. Old stone and stucco buildings with shuttered windows and ornate hanging lanterns frame the passage. Bands of sunlight cross the shadowed pavement, and a rocky mountain rises beyond the rooftops.

You go here to interrelate with nature #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdplace #waterfall #mountains #SensoryArt #roads

A photo of a vast mountain view in autumn colors with clouds covering mountain peaks in the distance, three waterfalls coming over a cliff into a creek and a tiny person walking across the frame to give a sense of scale.

In Norway, we don't care about American sociology as much as we care about sports, so 3rd place refers to the waterfall in 3rd place! 🥉😜😁 We (mostly) don't go to the mountains to socialize 😄

Have a great day Bluesky…🌞 *The view from the dock at my family’s place in Ontario…🇨🇦 #BlueskyArtShow #3rdPlace #Ontario #Canada #home #sunset

Pink, orange, and yellow clouds fill the sky and are reflected on the surface of a lake at sunset. The tip of a weathered dock, an island, and the dark shoreline of the lake can be seen in the distance.

During the winter months, this is the place where I spend many early mornings. Sunrises over Lake Ontario are my #3rdPlace (not home or work). #BlueSkyArtShow #Sunrise #Photography #ECK

The sun has not yet risen above the horizon but it has spread swaths of colours across the sky, ranging from gold, orange, lilac and grey. A lone man is standing on rocks on the shore, watching the beautiful changes across the sky.

#BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace A beautiful autumn day at Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria in the English Lake District. A place where we regularly walk the terriers 🐾 #keswick #lakedistrict #cumbria #lakes #mountains #nature #autumn #photography #eastcoastkin

A landscape view of Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria, England on a sunny September afternoon.
The lake is calm, steel grey in colour, but in places it reflects the blue sky and white fluffy clouds.
In the foreground are two thin trees on the left, their leaves beginning the autumnal change from green to brown.
A wooden gate and wire fence are in the shallows of the lake due to high water. The wooden fence posts run further into the distance.
In the background is the outline of some of the North Western Fells including Catbells and Causey Pike.
The colours of the trees and fells also just starting to change from green to autumnal hues of brown.

Wonderful capture Mick 😍 So calm and inviting scenery.

Aj d'Wit (Audrey)1

Wonderful photo. 😍 Is the water always this height? Just wondering about the gate and the fence.
