A softly toned, muted sunrise with multiple cloud layers in dusky pink and charcoal. Below, the silhouettes of trees and shrubs.

A pre-dawn clear sky over the ocean horizon draws a straight line across the image, divided into light and dark. Below, dim features on the plains below are only hinted at in the darkness, while the sky runs the gamut from deep burnt orange through to mid blue. A single tree in silhouette fills the frame on the right, while a few hanging leaves alternate the focus above from infinity to here. An infinite horizon.

Sun is setting behind a treeline behind a still fen with lots of grasses in it. The sun is bright yellow as is the sky, gradually turning into darkness higher up.

One photo per day from my archive. Completely random in subject, time, location. Photos that make me happy. And hopefully you too 😊

Two ibis perched one each side of a narrow pedestrian bridge. Luckily I had no self-doubt.

A still fen at a dark dusk at the right. Two large silhouetted pinetrees at the left. The sun is just touching the treeline at the horizon.

Long view out to sea over timbered hills and valleys filled with morning mist. The just-risen sun in casting long, sepia shadows through the mist, which is shining brightly and diffusing the sunlight, contrasting with the tree silhouettes and shadows.

The sky is covered in broad, unstructured sweeps of pink and yellow cloud alternating with blue sky. Below, the plains are still dark with the notable exception of a large lake which reflects the sky, forming a bright patch in the darkness. Eucalypt silhouettes frame the picture across the top and to the left and below.

Thanks Alan ❤️🙏. It was using that spot on the trunk for regular out-and-back insect catching flights, and I caught a few more poses (not much processed)

A restless flycatcher launching itself from a tree trunk, its wings spread wide. The bird is strongly lit from above and behind, casting a sharp shadow onto the tree trunk immediately in front of it.

@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay is #PerfectLighting a bird capture in good lighting

The good lighting for this flycatcher wasn't the bird itself, but the beautiful shadow cast on the tree trunk at Bald Knob

The sun has just cleared the distant ocean horizon, but has not climbed clear of a low cloud bank clinging to the horizon. Its golden light illuminates and backlights the tops of the clouds, the base remaining dark. The wooded plains running down to the shore are still dark, and the scene is framed left and right by the sharply silhouetted branches of two eucalypts.

The beautiful blue of low clouds just as dawn is breaking pink, gold and yellow on the horizon. The scene is framed top left and bottom right by large tree silhouettes.
