Foreground and sky blended in photoshop and it was as fastidious as it can be...
The building in the right foreground struck me as a probable man cave. I shall keep an eye on this situation and report back if necessary.

156-366/2016: A Leap of Faith
This is a shot taken just before sunrise in Brazil's Pantanal. All the little black dots in the foreground are Capybaras grazing on the grass.
Former German ferry built in 1958 in Canada Dock Liverpool, originally named 'Alte Liebe' but is now known as 'Endeavour' and is Liverpools 'Ghost Ship' since 1994. Great plans were made for her to be restored and used to take passengers from the Mersey to North Wales (Llandudno) but came to nothing, she reportedly started to sink in the dock in 2019 but now looking very much afloat. I took this pic while on a tour of the Royal Liver Building my best opportunity so far. In the foreground is the construction site of the new stadium for Everton FC, maybe once completed I can get a closer image of the ship in the future.
In the foreground, a couple of bronze cranes underline the perspective of the temple which leads the eye towards the Yangtze River. In Asia, the cranes are the symbol of fidelity in the couple.

This past weekend I made a trip out to Bellevue Beach to photograph the shorebirds out on the mussel bed.
Here is a shot of a Semipalmated Plover where I positioned the camera at a very low angle to blur out the foreground mussels to create a more pleasing image.

In the foreground is a former Baltimore & Ohio branch line in Warren, Ohio. Just beyond it is the former right of way of the passenger main of the Erie Railroad, later the Erie Lackawanna. At the time this image was made, made the ex-B&O route was lightly used. It came off the New Castle Subdivision in Newton Falls. The branch has since been abandoned.
Starting April 5th it's International Dark Sky Week.
To help raise awareness of the #IDSWeek goals I'm proud to be a partner photographer of the International Dark Sky Association.
IDSA has some great bullet-point content with some really easy actions to contribute to dark skies right here on its website.
Meanwhile, back to the pics, and my personal take on dark skies. It was the coldest night of December as I walked around this neighbourhood on the south coast of the UK which follows a council policy of switching off its streetlights after midnight. The night sky views are incredible, even whilst still surrounded by suburban housing but the composition is functional, designed to make a feature of the unlit streetlamp.
I don't know how well the message comes across about darkness but dead-centre of the foreground there's a caravan... despite standing, what, 100ft from it, I had no idea it was there until I got home and started processing this image.
Yet it doesn't take measures as drastic as a universal switch-off in order to begin reclaiming the night. Simply ensure that any lights within your control at night are necessary, and that they're correctly installed to shine downwards.
Scientists are starting to link all kinds of health risks with perpetual lighting and its associated culture, so if the lights aren't necessary, turn them off. You'll save energy and help reduce localised risks to human health and that of wildlife.
It's really the lack of dark you should be most concerned about.

Shizandra, the loveliest flower in the garden!
I thought doing this in black and white with the flowers in the foreground would make a nice photo for today's challenge. I know I've said it many times, but I really should do more black and white photography!
Directly flashing on the falls was a pair of high wattage fluorescent lamps which imparted cold blue white light. Contrastingly, by the river were incandescent lamps that cast warm orange hues in the foreground... The varying colors gave a hint of surrealism. The scenes were miles different from the photos I took of the falls during midday four years earlier. Different is not bad. Sometimes I can get lucky.

This was one memorable morning; air very cold (-3C) and totally still. In fact my breath was actually getting in my way , as I had to keep looking around it to see where I was going! I must admit I was a little disappointed here initially, as after 2 hours or so I reckon I had about 1 usable image…The background/foreground was continually frustrating me… too much of it, or the wrong sort. I like photos of bluebells to look clean and simple…no distractions So I slumped off back to the car a little depressed.

Luckily for me a lady had stopped in the parking area and was in the process of getting her dogs out of her car. To cut a long story short she directed me to the other side of the wood, across the road…cue the Hallelujah chorus. A couple of hundred yards latter the bluebells were amazing (along with the background and foreground).

Patricia Doornbos holding a pumpkin in front of her face, with a tree in the background and a pile of pumpkins in the foreground.
One of a series of photographs of the Doornbos children of Foxboro, Ontario taken by Harry Mulhall.
The story appeared in the Intelligencer newspaper of 16 October 1971.
This is Garn Ddyrys, site of the first significant ironworks of the industrial revolution. The pool in the foreground is made-made, being the reservoir of water used to cool the molten iron when it was poured out of the furnace into the molds as 'pig iron'. There is no longer a pool here normally, but the recent rain has partially refilled it.
Where the two sheep are you may be able to make out a gap in the wall. This is the outflow for the pool, where water was drained off into the ironworks which sat immediately downslope from this pool. The pool was then maintained by a series of feeder ponds higher on the hill, including Keepers Pond, which is visible in several of my other photos.
As such, this is a very significant industrial heritage site, and is part of the Blaenavon World Heritage site.
In the background can be seen the peak known as Sugar Loaf, which 10 minutes previously had not been visible at all because of the hailstorm that preceded this photo.

The foreground is part of the former Royal Ordnance Factory at Birtley, Co. Durham. I’m not sure what the premises at the rear is, looks like a fuel depot or similar. The Backdrop is the Silverhills, behind which are Sunniside and Whickham.
I found a location where you can see the skylines of St.. Paul (foreground) and Minneapolis (background) at the same time.
In the foreground, the western side of octagonal courtyard viewed from the west terrace; in the background, behind the column remains, entrance and the apse of Eastern basilica.

Technical ability aside, the difference is commitment. Some people look at whatever they do as a job and then they want to be good craftsmen. Then there are people who do it as a passion. They really care about it., and it shows in their photographs.

The Cades series (foreground) consists of very deep, well drained soils on old stream terraces and alluvial fans in the lower coves in the Southern Blue Ridge (MLRA 130B). They formed in alluvium derived from materials weathered from metasedimentary rocks such as phylite and metasandstone. Slope ranges from 2 to 8 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, mesic Typic Hapludults
TYPE LOCATION: Blount County, Tennessee; Great Smoky Mountains National Park; Cades Cove; 2000 feet west of the the entry gate of the Cades Cove Loop Road, 400 feet north of road in pasture field; USGS Cades Cove topographic quadrangle; latitude 35 degrees, 36 minutes, 26.49 seconds, North; longitude 83 degrees, 47 minutes, 5.53 seconds, West, NAD27.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Depth to bedrock is greater than 72 inches. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to strongly acid. Rock fragments range from 0 to 25 percent above the lithologic discontinuity and 35 to greater than 80 percent below the discontinuity. The depth to the lithologic discontinuity ranges from 24 to 48 inches. Average rock fragment content in the particle-size control section is less than 35 percent. They range from channers to flagstones with size increasing with depth.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most of this soil is cleared and used as pasture and hayland. Originally, all areas of this soil were forested.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southern Blue Ridge (MLRA 130B) in Tennessee and North Carolina. This series is of small extent.
SERIES ESTABLISHED: Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 2007
