Leeds skyline framed by nature – where urban endeavour meets serene winter nature.

Ali di luce,

tra il mare e il sole nasce

il sogno d’aria.

Algarve, un mattino di fine estate. Pensieri sulle ali dei gabbiani, nel vento, e nel sole.

Buona serata

When the sun fades, even the smallest wildflowers keep a trace of its warmth. Fujifilm X-T10 with Minolta MC Rokkor PF 58mm f1.4.

The light filters through the bare branches, drawing shadows that seem like farewells suspended in the air. In the stillness of the afternoon, two souls meet in a corner of stone and shadow, tangled in a moment that seems to resist time. The scene is tinged with an inevitable contrast: the warmth of the last ray of sunlight and the coldness of what feels like a goodbye. As if the light itself, casting its fleeting shapes upon the wall, knew that some moments are meant to fade away. / La luz se filtra entre las ramas desnudas, dibujando sombras que parecen despedidas suspendidas en el aire. En la quietud de la tarde, dos almas se encuentran en un rincón de piedra y sombra, enredadas en un momento que parece resistirse al tiempo. La escena está teñida de un contraste inevitable: la calidez del último rayo de sol y la frialdad de lo que se intuye como un adiós. Como si la propia luz, al proyectar sus formas efímeras sobre la pared, supiera que algunos instantes están destinados a desvanecerse.

The Sony Alpha 230 is an entry-level DSLR camera featuring a 10.2-megapixel APS-C CCD sensor.

For this image, a 50mm lens was used, which is ideal for portraits and urban scenes due to its natural perspective and ability to isolate subjects with soft background blur at wide apertures. The ISO 100 setting ensures a clean image with minimal noise, while the 1/15s shutter speed suggests careful handheld shooting or tripod use to avoid camera shake, capturing light in a delicate manner.

The black and white processing was done using Adobe Lightroom and Camera Raw, applying fine adjustments to contrast and exposure to enhance the interplay of light and shadow. The tone curve was refined to balance deep blacks and bright highlights, reinforcing the dramatic mood of the scene. Selective adjustments were applied to key areas to emphasize texture and depth, resulting in an evocative and timeless image.

I recently spent an evening in Cabangan, Zambales, right in front of the West Philippine Sea. I watched the sunset paint the sky with dark and light blues, and a striking band of golden-yellow light lit up the horizon. A light drizzle fell gently, cooling the last warmth of the day and making the colors pop even more. With just a few people around, the empty shoreline and the soft, soothing sound of gentle waves made the scene feel truly personal. I paused and simply enjoyed that peaceful, rain-kissed moment.

A bit of planning, a lot of walking, and boom — poppies everywhere, glowing like fire in the evening sun. All that hunting for color? Totally worth it.

A glowing sunset descends over the bay of Kalamata, viewed from the vantage point of Kalathi hill. The golden light spreads across the sea and city, capturing the serene beauty of a summer evening in the Peloponnese.

Photographed with a Canon EOS R100 and the Canon RF-S 18–150mm lens at full zoom, this scene blends natural warmth with urban calm.

Soaking up that Italian sun while watching the boats drift by. There’s nothing like the peaceful vibe of Peschici’s stunning port, especially when the sunset turns the sea into liquid gold. 🌅🌊

Note to self: Sometimes all you need is a good view, a soft breeze, and a moment to just be. 💙

A breathtaking contrast of light and darkness along the crest of a towering sand dune. This minimalist composition captures the stark beauty of the desert, where the golden glow of the sun meets the cool, shadowed side of nature’s grand sculptures.

Capturing the Serene Sunset over Casey Key, Florida

As the sun slowly sank into the horizon,

the sea, the people, and even my thoughts became still.

In silence — and somehow, that was enough.

That evening sun felt unusually warm.

I’ve been holding onto these photos for a while. Tonight felt like the right moment to let them see the light by showing the sunset’s own. City lights shimmer against the fading sky, their glow mirrored and refracted, while branches and wires etch a fragile lace across the horizon. It is twilight caught between reflection and silhouette, a quiet filigree of dusk. 🌆

Shopping, sipping, and sizzling burgers — Maspalomas-style.

CC Varadero catches the evening light like it knows it’s being watched. Whether you’re after a pair of sunnies, a dry-aged Escoburger, or just an excuse to people-watch from the balcony, this open-air plaza delivers casual indulgence with a subtropical wink.

The image beautifully captures the essence of the San Francisco Bay area, offering a tantalizing glimpse of the majestic Golden Gate Bridge as it gracefully spans the waters. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in brilliant hues, a lone sailing boat glides serenely across the bay. This picturesque scene epitomizes the harmonious coexistence of nature and urban marvels, making it a testament to the mesmerizing beauty of the Golden Gate City

breathtaking view of a serene countryside landscape captured just before dusk. The sky is painted in soft shades of blue and grey, with dramatic cloud formations stretching across the horizon. Nestled beneath the hills, a peaceful village rests amid lush greenery and scattered fields. The calm atmosphere and expansive sky create a perfect moment of stillness and natural beauty.

This photograph captures a stunning sunset scene over a beach with the sky lit up in beautiful hues of orange, yellow, and pink. The sun is low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the landscape. On the right side of the image, there is a distinctive tall, metal structure with a circular top, which is the iconic Parachute Jump in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York.

In the foreground, you can see part of the beach, silhouettes of a few people walking, and some structures, including buildings and parts of the boardwalk area. The overall mood of the photo is calm and serene, with a nostalgic feel, typical of Coney Island at sunset.

🌅 Sunsets at Ambleside Beach are pure West Coast magic — where the sky turns into a canvas of fiery oranges, soft purples, and shimmering golds as the sun dips behind the mountains and ocean.

✨ Why It’s a Sunset Hotspot

- Unobstructed Views: The beach faces west across Burrard Inlet, offering clear sightlines to the horizon — perfect for catching every last ray.

- Pier Vibes: The Ambleside Pier adds a romantic touch, with reflections dancing on the water and silhouettes of people soaking in the moment.

- Peaceful Atmosphere: Whether you're lounging on the sand or strolling the seawall, the calm setting makes it ideal for unwinding after a long day.

- Wildlife Cameos: Harbor seals and seabirds often make appearances, adding a splash of nature to the evening show.

Sunset Tips

- Best Time: Arrive about 30 minutes before sunset to grab a good spot and watch the colors evolve.

- Bring a Blanket: It can get breezy — cozy up and stay a while.

- Camera Ready: The changing light is perfect for photography, especially with the Lions Gate Bridge in the distance.

Ambleside sunsets are the kind that linger in your memory.

Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

নদী ও জীবন: সন্ধ্যায় নদীর রূপ

সন্ধ্যার নরম আলোয় নদী যেন নতুন রূপে সেজে ওঠে। ঢেউয়ের মৃদু দোলায় সূর্যের শেষ রশ্মিগুলো পানিকে রঙিন করে তোলে। জীবন ও প্রকৃতি একসঙ্গে মিলেমিশে তৈরি করে এক অপূর্ব দৃশ্য। পারাপারের নৌকা আর জেলেরা ফিরছে দিনের শেষ ধীরে ধীরে তীরে ভিড়ছে। দূরের হালকা কুয়াশা, আকাশে উড়তে থাকা পাখির দল—সব মিলিয়ে এক শান্ত, মনোমুগ্ধকর মুহূর্ত।

Sometimes it's only afterwards

I find that I'm not there

In the dream dusk..."

A perfectly circular grove of bare winter trees stands majestically on a small island, creating an extraordinary natural sculpture silhouetted against the golden sunset sky. The sun's brilliant rays pierce through the dense collection of slender tree trunks like a celestial spotlight, casting dramatic vertical lines across the composition. The glass-like lake surface provides a flawless mirror reflection, doubling the visual impact and creating perfect symmetry that transforms this scene into nature's own mandala. The warm golden light contrasts beautifully with the cool blue water, while the bare branches create intricate patterns against the glowing sky. This enchanting winter landscape captures the serene beauty of dormant trees awaiting spring's return, standing as sentinels in their watery sanctuary during the magical golden hour.
