If you look closely, the last bit of sun is peeking above the horizon, through the marine layer in the distance.
The shallow waters over the rocky shoals create interesting wave patterns and textures here. The last stragglers of surfers are hanging on until last light, though one can be seen on the far left, paddling off from the crowd.
The ocean's waves, not exactly pounding, drown out (unintended pun) all other sounds here, and the breezes pick up as the cooler air, no longer heated by direct sunlight begins to move in. There is a certain balance in a Pacific sunset that can only be shown visually or experienced firsthand, words are inadequate.
Garden Liles 2..
There is something so visually pleasing about a lily, it is the mixture of complimentary colours that draw you in. the contrast of yellow and red. I am sure this is as intoxicating to humans as it is to bees and other pollen gatherers.
I am sure there is a solid science behind the reasoning for the many varied colours of lilies; but suffice to say they make my garden look amazing while they are in bloom and i thank God for eyes to see them with.

Chasing light is ever the photographers endeavor. Weather it be on bright blue days, looking for visually interesting contrast, or on storm ridden moody days such as this one. Light, shadow, clouds, nature, all building to a moment of blissful peace. You’ve found the light against the darkened skies, now your job is yet to begin. Finding the perfect position for your equipment, and the consideration that this light is yet fleeting, you wont have long to capture the moment, to freeze time. Yet you carry on dutifully to create. Doubtlessly, it is assumed we capture these scenes as is without any real work, but the truth, most people will never have the patience for. This image, from the same time as the previous is giving you a glimpse just beyond the veil.

Open star cluster NGC 6939 (bottom center) is visually located close to the star Eta Cephei inside our galaxy, but in reality it lies more than 4,000 light-years away from us (this value is a bit uncertain). Its apparent magnitude is 7.8, meaning it can only be seen with binoculars or with a telescope.
By pure coincidence, less than one degree away lies the face-on galaxy NGC 6946 (center of image), an entirely separate galactic system outside our own Milky Way, at an estimated distance of about 25 million light-years (according to recent measurements). Because many supernova explosions were recorded at the last 100 years in this galaxy, it got the nickname of "Fireworks galaxy".
Both objects were discovered by William Herschel in 1798.
Thanks to everyone and clear skies!

Metal railings that visually create a sense of flow…
Observing the dense railings from the outside seems to be safe and sturdy. Standing in the building, so many iron railings, the vision should be very different. You know…XD
Many buildings in Taiwan,
Must rely on metal railings,
Let the residents feel safe.
金屬的欄桿,在視覺上產生流動感…
從外面觀察密集的欄杆,似乎是安全堅固。站在建築物裡面,這麼多鐵欄杆,視覺應該很不一樣。你知道的…XD
台灣許多建築物,

Cut by the Colorado River over the past six million years, Grand Canyon is a colossal labyrinth of towering buttes and deep side canyons. Visually, there is so much to see - so many colors, textures, and shadows - that your sense of perspective often melts away.
Thank you for your comments.

I watched for almost an hour as this Green Heron repeatedly sent clouds of gulf menhaden into the air on Horsepen Bayou, each time diverting one down the gullet. This was one of the smaller explosions, but visually pleasing to my eye. I have no idea where he stuffed them all. Number two in the "Birds Eating Menhaden" series.

And what a view. No matter the time of day, a truly stunning experience. Visually overwhelming and almost unreal in its sublime beauty to wake up and see this vista.

Fascinating is the plant that can visually hook gardeners, not with fancy foliage nor flashy flowers, but rather dried seed pods—those faded leftovers of a glorious growing season. Well, welcome to the strangely fascinating world of lunaria (Lunaria annua) also known as silver dollar plant or money plant because of the round, parchment-like seed casings it produces in late summer that have the shimmer of freshly minted silver coins.
ON/OFF - Thank you very much for visiting and commenting! Really appreciated!
You won't hear his call on the Audubon phone app. Back East and Midwest birders may not recognize this song.
About a year ago we watched this almost handsome fellow ( no pants. He had molted his pants off. ) fly to a branch and sing his heart out.
I have been haunted by his aria.
If that link opens it is a recording made by Lance Benner, a local bird expert and asteroid physicist.
"How many species of White-breasted Nuthatch are there? Genetic studies suggest at least three in the U.S., and maybe four. Vocalizations, which show remarkable differences among subspecies, strongly suggest three. ...If these subspecies ARE elevated to full species status, telling them apart visually is going to be a real challenge ..."

Both visually and audibly, the action of a swan rising from the water and stretching out those 2m wings is a sight to behold.

Palm Grove of Marrakech
This place is a typical touristic attraction in Marrakech. Visually, it's a very nice place with the possibility to ride a camel.
For some reason I just absolutely love the pictures of my flowerbed this time of year especially after the snow added just a touch of winter to the mix. I don't know if it is the textures or the colors or what, I just really love the way they look together!
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Please be sure to view large if you have the time because it is truly better in large:

Out of Pan Am's twenty SD40-2s of various heritages, my favorites of them are the three former Santa Fe / Trona SD45-2s. When they arrived on the property they were wearing Trona's bright red and silver scheme, although they quickly got repainted into Pan Am's blue dip, but nonetheless, the massive SD45-2 carbodies are still visually appealing. Currently the 616 is the only one of the three in service, and it's seen here, leading POWA as they hustle east under the cover of darkness. Unfortunately, the demise of Pan Am's fleet of old EMDs seems to be drawing ever closer, and given the rough shape of most of them, there probably isn't much of a future for them.
The green bee-eater (Merops orientalis), also known as little green bee-eater, is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family.Like other bee-eaters, this species is a richly coloured, slender bird. It is about 9 inches (16–18 cm) long with about 2 inches made up by the elongated central tail-feathers. The sexes are not visually distinguishable. The entire plumage is bright green and tinged with blue especially on the chin and throat. The crown and upper back are tinged with golden rufous. The flight feathers are rufous washed with green and tipped with blackish. A fine black line runs in front of and behind the eye.
I was waiting to catch its flying shot!! :-))
The most visually striking building in the 200 block of E. Front St. is this Victorian Romanesque-style structure designed by Bloomington architect George Miller and completed in 1886. For seventy years the building was the home of the Higgins, Jung and Kleinau Monument Co.
Designed by Bloomington architect George H. Miller in Victorian Romanesque-style, the building was constructed for Civil War veteran Hamer J. Higgins. The name "H. J. Higgins & Co. Marble Works" is clearly visible above the center bay of second-story windows. The building's appearance attests to the stone curlers skill and medium with dealing detailing Bedford Limestone, Indiana Marble, and St. Cloud Granite. Miller orchestrated these materials taking full advantage of the craftsmen's talent.
After monument and headstone production came to an end in 1956, the next long-term tenant was Nybakke Vacuum who had offices in the building from 1960 until 1992. That same year, the building was restored by Mike Temple to include apartments on the second floor. Presently Pars Rug Warehouse occupies on the first floor, with apartments on the upper floors.
The Higgins, Jung and Kleinau Monument Co. Building is contributing architectural property in the Bloomington Central Business District listed in 1985 in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The district includes roughly twelve square blocks of the city and encompasses 140 buildings, 118 of which are contributing buildings to the district's historic character.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
Don't panic, the basement of Tate Britain hasn't flooded....... I've just flipped the shot as I thought it would be visually interesting to complete the circle.

Warbling Vireos can be distinguished visually from Red-eyed Vireos by the lack of a dark border between the crown and supercilium, which is a prominent mark of the Red-eyed Vireo.
They also lack the dark lores between the eye and the base of the bill. This feature gives their face a pale and washed out look. They are more gray on the cape and wing coverts than the bright olive of the Red-eyed Vireo. Warbling Vireos have a dark iris compared to the red iris of the Red-eyed Vireo. The red iris of the Red-eyed Vireo doesn't always show in a photo though.
A bright Warbling Vireo can look similar to a drab Philadelphia Vireo due to a pale yellow wash along the breast, throat, and flanks. The bill of a Philadelphia Vireo is obviously shorter in comparison. The Philadelphia Vireo has a dark lore area compared to the pale lore of the Warbling Vireo.
The songs of the Vireo species are very distinct, but they are not singing much at this time of year.

Sunsets are visually pleasing with their blend of warm and vibrant colors that emerge as the sun dips below the horizon.
A source of inspiration and spiritual insight for people around the world. These daily events offer more than just visual beauty; they provide a gateway to deeper understanding and connection.
Passionate photographers, artists, poets, and philosophers have long been inspired by the hues of a sunset, capturing its essence in their works.

Visually (in terms of shape, size, and color) one of my favorite vegetables. Those pictured are of the honeynut variety.
Mount Cheam visually dominates much of the Fraser Valley near Vancouver, BC., Canada. It is the highest mountain in the valley and is part of the Cascade Range of mountains. Here, despite its distance from the resort community of Harrison Hotsprings, seen in the foreground, it appears to look down upon the 1600-member community. In reality Cheam is not “looking down “on the community at all, in fact it’s a fair distance away. This distortion between the town and the mountain is due to the affect of foreshortening from the telephoto lens. The telephoto lens with its narrow field of view makes the distance between these two objects appear much closer than they actually are. Compounding the foreshortening distortion is the use of a series of these images blended to create the panorama. It was a clear day with a great view and the haze in the valley added depth and layering.

Since it's supposed to be very hot today, I'll at least cool things off visually.
And so I'll take you again to the Erawan Waterfall in Thailand.
A bit of effort is still necessary to get to this wonderfully beautiful place. After all, as you may remember, this is Stage Three.
But after about 30 minutes of sweating we arrived here. In a place that, at least for me, seems truly paradisiacal.
We can sit in the shade of the forest and listen to the sound of the waterfall, accompanied by the songs of many exotic birds, or take off our shoes and wade through the shallow water and let small silver-gray fish care for our feet. But be careful, the rocks are quite slippery in some places. And I don't want anyone to hurt themselves.
Or, if that's not enough to cool you down, just dive into the lagoon right in front of the waterfall. Because here, at almost 2 meters, the water is deep enough to completely submerge.
Yes, that's really bearable, isn't it?
Da es heute sehr heiß werden soll, sorge ich wenigstens optisch für etwas Abkühlung.
Und so nehme ich Euch noch einmal mit zum Erawan Wasserfall nach Thailand.
Ein bisschen Anstrengung ist noch nötig, um bis zu diesem traumhaft schönen Ort zu kommen. Schließlich ist das, vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch noch, die Stufe Drei.
Doch nach etwa 30 Minuten Schwitzen sind wir dann hier angekommen. An einem, zumindest für mich, wahrlich paradiesisch wirkenden Ort.
Wir können im Schatten des Waldes sitzen und dem Rauschen des Wasserfalls lauschen, welches vom Gesang vieler exotischer Vögel untermalt ist, oder die Schuhe ausziehen und durch das flache Wasser waten und uns von kleinen silbergrauen Fischen die Füße pflegen lassen. Doch vorsicht, die Felsen sind an einigen Stellen ziemlich rutschig. Und ich will ja nicht, dass sich jemand weh tut.
Oder, wenn das als Abkühlung alles noch nicht reicht, dann taucht doch einfach in die Lagune direkt vor dem Wasserfall ein. Denn hier ist mit nahezu 2 Metern das Wasser tief genug um komplett unter zu tauchen.
Ja, so lässt es sich echt aushalten oder ?

Mangaweka is a township on the State Highway One (SH1), Manawatū-Whanganui region, in the North Island of New Zealand, with a population of just under 200. It is between Taihape to the north and Hunterville to the south.
The township is interesting not only for the visually interesting historic main street, but also because of its growing artists' community. The main street is preserved in its original state due to SH1 being re-located in the early 1980s. This tore the heart out of the township as the main street became redundant, but this is what makes the township such a tourist attraction today, with many people stopping to take photographs and visit the flourishing art galleries.

Visually it matches with Japanese Beetle, but clicked in Bangalore, India. Indian Beetles look little different. So I am not sure about the exact name.
... versteckt sich Bärbel schnell hinter ihrem Rockzipfel, gefällt ihr doch die große Spinne ganz und gar nicht !! 😱 Luis hingegen setzt sich seine Spezialbrille auf um sie besser betrachten zu können ... 😉😃.... Fortsetzung folgt ...
(Vor vielen Jahren, als ich noch keine Puppengeschichten erfand, entwarf und nähte ich diese Tastbilderbücher für Blinde und sehbehinderte Kinder. Die Spinne ist mit einem Klettverschluss im Spinnennetz angebracht und kann herausgenommen werden.)
... Bärbel hides quickly behind her skirt, she doesn't like the big spider at all !! 😱 Luis, on the other hand, puts on his special glasses to be able to look at it better ... !! 😉😃 .... to be continued ...
(Many years ago, when I wasn't making up doll stories, I designed and sewed these tactile storybooks for blind and visually impaired children. The spider is attached to the spider web with a Velcro fastener and can be removed.)
I had a talk with this silly little grasshopper. I specifically recommended a remedial course in camouflage or crypsis, and a beginning course in "Visually Hunting Predators."
This silly grasshopper reminded me of the people who see no need to get a vaccination.
Looking upwards at our multi glitter ball ornament salvaged from an M&S Christmas window display.
It is around 8ft in height. The largest ball is around 1mtr in diameter with additional balls around half that.
I missed the shot of my better half carrying the whole thing in the city centre ... visually bizarre.
Visually appealing piece resting on a shelf with many friends in the distance. I guess it was movie night?
Visually she has strong traits of the Italian, her mix of Carniolan would be a darker honey bee. Some of her sisters show the Carniolan traits. She has a different personality, the Italian Queen is graceful and confident. This hybrid queen is a runner, maybe she will be more confident as time goes by. R.O. premium stock bred. This is the time I'm supposed to leave her alone and let her make brood. They must have let her out of her queen cage quickly. With 60% colony loss worldwide this year, this is a God send.
The coastal fog -- also known as the marine layer -- was so thick one couldn't see the ocean that is just beyond the end of this hillside road. The fog hovers along the Western coast of the U.S. in summer and protects this special ecological niche from the scorching heat that exists inland. All the plants and trees depend on it for moisture during the long rainless summers. Even the mighty redwoods were able to thrive here for millenia along the continent's west coast as a result of the fog that would condense on their branches and drip down to the forest floor below, saturating the earth.
The thick fog develops as the hot summer sun creates condensation over the ocean, then this 'marine layer' rolls in and blankets the coast with its protective, nourishing shield of life-sustaining moisture. I am grateful for this cooling effect, and given climate change, am now calling it "angel mist". I hope indeed that it will protect this beautiful region of California from desertification in the decades ahead.
I also appreciate the marine layer for the wondrous mood it creates: it calms the soul during these difficult times on the planet, and is so visually mysterious and magical.
Visually appealing for a photographer, but a regrettable loss of another small crumbling piece of history.
Thanks for viewing.

Work bij Belgian artist Hans Op De Beeck.
The girl is lying on her back, completely surrendered to sleep, an unfolded book on het stomach. Dotted here and there are butterflies on the blankets, fantasy elements from the dream world she is in.
The artist makes the girl's mattress hover visually above the raft, as the two worlds - that of her bedroom and that of the dream - merge in an unreal way.

Taken at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve. A little noisy visually. Very noisy in the auditory sense.
Seriously, if you like any birds, go here now.
Isopogon is a genus of around 35 species, only occurring here in Australia, found in the southern half of the continent in temperate regions.
Western Australia contains most of the species in a natural habitat. Most are small to medium sized shrubs having flower clusters arranged in globular heads. The fruits are also globular in shape giving rise to the common name of 'drumsticks'.
The foliage is unique and visually interesting I think.
