A cold day on the beach but a strip of colour along the horizon adds a little warmth to the scene, Two exposures blended together one shot for the sky and one shot for the foreground.
After a dull day we had some very late sunshine which added some colour to the sky and created a strip of light on the cloud line at Blakeney in North Norfolk.
The Neon Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, features signs from old casinos and other businesses displayed outdoors on 2.62 acres. The museum features a restored lobby shell from the defunct La Concha Motel as its visitor center, which officially opened on October 27, 2012. For many years, the Young Electric Sign Company (YESCO) stored many of these old signs in their "boneyard." The signs were slowly being destroyed by exposure to the elements. The signs are considered by Las Vegas locals, business owners and government organizations to be not only artistically, but also historically, significant to the culture of the city. Each of the restored signs in the collection holds a story about who created it and why it is important. The Neon Museum was founded in 1996 as a partnership between the Allied Arts Council of Southern Nevada and the City of Las Vegas. Today, it is an independent non-profit. Located on Las Vegas Boulevard and Bonanza, the Neon Museum includes the new Neon Boneyard Park, which is adjacent to the former YESCO Boneyard. The impetus behind the museum was the loss of the iconic sign from The Sands; after it closed in 1995, there was no place to store the massive sign, and it was scrapped. To mark its official opening in November 1996, the Neon Museum restored and installed the Hacienda Horse & Rider sign at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street. However, access to the collection was provided by appointment only. Annual attendance was approximately 12–20,000 during this time. In 2005, the historic La Concha lobby was donated to the museum, which moved and reassembled the building 4 miles (6.4 km) north along Las Vegas Boulevard after cutting it into eight pieces. It now serves as the museum's visitors' center and headquarters. Although it cost nearly $3 million to move and restore the La Concha, the plans to open a museum became concrete after the donation of the building, drawing a number of public and private grants and donations. In total, approximately $6.5 million was raised for the visitors' center, headquarters, a new park, and restoration of 15 major signs. In November 2009, the Neon Museum restored and installed the famous Silver Slipper sign across from its welcome center, and two more restored vintage signs were installed near the northern end of Las Vegas Boulevard to mark its designation as a National Scenic Byway. Paid public admission commenced on October 27, 2012, replacing the prior appointment-only basis. Attendance during the first year was 60,461, exceeding the early estimate of 45–50,000 visitors. After outgrowing its space in the former La Concha lobby shell, the museum moved its headquarters to old City Hall in 2016 and converted the offices into a museum store. In 2017, the museum purchased land for its first expansion since opening to the public in 2012. For its fifth anniversary, the Neon Museum offered free admission on October 28, 2017. In 2018, the Neon Museum administrative staff moved again to a space on the campus of the Las Vegas-Review Journal and opened a programming space there called Ne10 Studio.

One from earlier in August when this big guy and five others were munching away on the willows and paling around like best friends. Recent reports are that the velvet has already been shed and/or in the process of being shed, and they have been hanging out in the higher elevations because of the heat. Hoping to find a few this weekend to photograph.
The photograph shows several aspects of the lignite (brown coal) mining landscape around Leipzig, Germany:
The brown coal is exploited in open-cast mines, where the covering sediment is removed using huge stripping shovels / rotary excavators like the abandoned SRs 1000/1547 shown at the left. The SRs 1000 has a mass of 1200 tons and was able to move approx. 3'000 m² of sand per hour. It can now be visited in the Bergbau-Technik-Park museum.
On the right there is the lignite-fired Lippendorf Power Station, which produces electricity and heat from 10 Mio. tons of lignite per year (2'000 MW, see also my photo Cloud Factory).
After exploitation of the coal, huge residual holes remain in the landscape that are filled with ground- and surface water, and are renaturated for recreational use, like the Markkleeberger See in the foreground. In this way, the newly emerging Leipzig Lake District (Leipziger Neuseenland) is formed.

Deep in the Arizona Strip at an overlook above Hidden Canyon. Unfortunately, it was a hazy day with smoke from a designated burn.
Spotted an interesting refelction of the overhead striplight on the glass on my phone. Cariad took a shot of it and challenged me to make something of it.

Principal Tower, a 50-storey residential tower on Bishopsgate. Designed by Foster & Partners and opened in 2019.
As part of the building's 2021 Christmas illuminations, the lighting strips along the edges of each floor were animated to create different moving patterns and also words ('LOVE' and '♥︎NHS' for example).
The blue light emanating from one of the apartments made it stand out from the rest so I accentuated the difference a bit more in editing...
The first shot from my recent holiday in America. I have a few photos to post but will limit them to a couple each day.
