After dinner walk with two mourning doves on a snowy brick walkway. I can almost hear the conversation…

A wide angle view of a sunset over a lake as it transitions to night. The lake reflects the sky making the whole picture symmetrical from top to bottom. In the middle of the photo a thin row of black sand dunes are like beads on a string. Dark blue clouds create interesting patterns. A thin orange sunset betrays the last rays of the sun peaking over the horizon. I have been traveling this week so I pulled this photo from September.

A full golden moon rise over pink and purple mountains with a salmon sky behind it. Dark green pinon and juniper trees form the base of the photo.

Overgrown greenhouse with green algae covered water.

Photo of sunset over ocean bay as viewed from beach. Far side of bay is seen on horizon.Sand ripples in foreground. Reflections of red sunset in ripples and water. I took this photo today just after the sun set on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Ground level view looking up two tall trees. Their trunks are very dark against the gray sky. The one that's closer and to the left curves near the ground, and the curve is covered in snow. It's a color photo but it looks black and white.

A black and white and slightly sepia toned image of a grassy field. There's a few trees on the far left and right in the distance. There are two small white buildings at center left. A restored 19th cannon on large wood wheels sits in the lower right pointing toward the right side of the frame.

This image captures a breathtaking winter landscape from a high vantage point. The scene is dominated by a vast, snow-covered mountain range under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. A serene lake lies nestled among the mountains, its icy surface reflecting the surrounding peaks and the sky above. The foreground features a mix of snow-covered ground and patches of green shrubs, adding texture and contrast to the scene. The sunlight casts a soft glow over the landscape, highlighting the pristine beauty of the snow and the ruggedness of the mountains.

View of a gray concrete surface. Yellow metal supports protrude into the image from all sides and end on the concrete surface. At the bottom left, there is a light source outside the image, causing the supports to cast long dark shadows. The same applies to the upper right corner of the image, where a light source shines into the image from the bottom right.

An upright piano in a wintry stand of stand of small trees and dead grass. The piano has been there for some time and savaged by nature, parts broken, peeling, and outright missing. Everything is brown and dusted with snow. Taken this day in 2013 on the family farm in Iowa.

A weathered, white Citroen DS sits abandoned and partially buried in straw, inside an old brick building.

Winter sun on distant hills. Taken near Fairbanks, Alaska on December 1, 2009.

Photo of pink clouds at sunset as seen through bare branches of tree. The branches are in a random pattern, although some seem to frame the clouds. The clouds are patchy with hints of blue sky between the patches. I took this photo at sunset last evening from my house. The view lasted just a matter of minutes before the sky turned dark gray.

A colour photo of a curved U-shaped glacial valley with a river meandering through the middle. The sky is overcast and grey, and in the distance is a body of water joining the sea beyond. The valley floor is carpeted with red, gold, and green vegetation.

A peaceful place of pilgrimage. A natural-looking blue-green fantasy sci-fi scenery with a touch of orange and yellow. From a futuristic city with natural building shapes, we follow the coastline to an island where we can see an active giant turtle statue with a magic staff. This powerful statue has been there for a very long time which we can adumbrate due to all the moss and plants growing on the stony-looking surface. It is a precious guard for these inhabitants and cares for the best climate conditions. Snowy mountains far away are one with the wild, but rather sorted, wind, causing spirals and showing the vitality of this ancient place. Everyone is welcome to stay here and regenerate for future endeavors. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Speedpainting-11122024-1132639590
