After sunset an arching cloud catches a pink hue, and reaches from mountain top to Copper Island. The air is still thick with the smoke from distant fires, but rain is on the way.
A deserted High Street, Deritend, Birmingham during lockdown with an empty Class 172 heading towards Moor Street station.
The ornate building on the left was built between the two wars - it appears to have been a church for a short time but maps from the 1950s onwards show it as being used as a warehouse.
Arches National Park, Utah.
In June 2014 I went to Utah for a week specifically to take pictures of the night sky. If you want to see more of those pictures (and my other efforts at night photography) feel free to look at my Night Sky album.
The erosive power of the waves that pound the lava rock has created a number of sea arches and sea stacks along the coast of the Big Island. Holei Sea Arch, at the end of the Chain of Craters Road, is nearly 100 feet tall. It is mesmerizing to watch the ebb and flow of the water under the arch.
Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

This is a photo that goes back to my 2018 post retirement "Big trip" to America. A five week holiday that I managed to cram a huge amount of variety into.
This image typifies the terrain of the national park. Yes, there are many natural arches to be found but rolling arid land surrounded by sandstone cliffs is what visitors will see most of the time.
We visited the Arch on a muggy summer day, and I had just a few minutes to dash around and capture images from different angles. You can't appreciate how huge this thing is until you stand right beneath it ! This is a 7-image handheld vertical panorama (or vertorama).
Mesa Arch, Canyonlands National Park, Utah. The Milky Way is just visible behind dissipating clouds above the arch, which is illuminated by a few low-brightness studio lights.
The Jefferson Memorial Expansion Gateway Arch.
Impressive design and wonderful to stand next to and just gaze up at the beautiful curves in the sky.

Sunset on Arches National Park. The windows section of the park is a favorite for many to watch the sun go down and bring a beautiful ending to another day
HDR. One of the oldest bits of my hometown - remains of the Greyfriars monastic complex, largely hidden from passersby, and largely unrecognised.
The handrail lost all sense of direction....

A Photoshop view of Arches National Park. I just decided to put some of the arches from the park all in one area! As if this area needs help being beautiful.

A snapshot from my recent woodland walk.
Waves have eroded this striking sea arch at Ponta Furada, along the rugged southern coast of Faial near the Freguesia (Civil Parish) of Feteira in the Azores. The coastline is primarily composed of basaltic volcanic rock.
Notably, 'Ponta Furada' translates to 'Pierced Point,' a fitting name for this naturally sculpted arch."
Via Wikipedia: Grosvenor Arch is a unique sandstone double arch located within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Kane County, Utah, United States. It is named to honor Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (1875–1966), a president of the National Geographic Society, publishers of the National Geographic Magazine.
Located in northern Kane County, it is close to and south of Kodachrome Basin State Park and is accessed from the north or south via Road 400, a dirt road that traverses Cottonwood Canyon in the western portion of the national monument.
