Symmetry

Dale offers the prompt “symmetry” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

The first photo shows symmetry in a wooden fence.

The second shows symmetry in tile pavement.

The third shows the symmetry of the horizon.

______

There is symmetry in this wooden fence

There is symmetry in these tiles in many directions except where there’s not

Horizontal symmetry, sort of, but the sun and other stuff got in the way

What’s Flowering Where You Are?

Dale offers the prompt “What’s flowering where you are?” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Some of these I took last year at the same time of year, but the cactus is recent.

______

Up close view of the blossom.

It looks like some kind of cactus in bloom.

Whatever it is, it is nicely red.

I suspect this is a yellow version of the one above.

Lights, Camera, Action

Dale offers the prompt, “lights, camera, action”, for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

My phone is my camera.

The sun rising and setting in the clouds on various days brings both the lights and the action. In these parts the climate changes daily while remaining pretty much the same year after year.

______

Sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, a huge part of the much larger Flood Waters of Noah

Sunset over the Intracostal Waters

Another sunrise with birds providing the action

Another setting sun where you can see it’s position different from the sunset above.

First Hints of Spring

Dale offers the prompt “first hints of spring” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Freshly opened seed

Wild sunsets

Cruise boat for those who aren’t landlubbers like me

Portals

Dale offers the prompt “portals” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge. Also linked to Thursday Doors.

This tunnel leads further into some castle.

An old door in a castle. It was probably not the same castle as the first photo.

This door, wall and railing came from somewhere. Considering that I was a tourist when I took this, I suspect there’s a castle nearby.

At the Shoreline

Dale offers the prompt “at the shoreline” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Some of our friends visited us last week. We took them to the Atlantic Ocean.

Here are a few photos of the beach.

______

Royal Terns facing into the wind which was strong that day

Beach sand with water and footprints

The ocean with a sailboat, swimmers in the distance and stuff that washed in from the sea on the shore

Old Buildings

Dale offers the prompt “old buildings” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

From the Charles Bridge in Prague looking at an old church

At the Prague Castle there is the St. Vitus Cathedral

Here is another view of St. Vitus Cathedral in the distance across from the Vitava River

From Ground Level

Dale offers the prompt “from ground level” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge. The prompt includes views looking down on the ground.

Here are some photos looking down on beach sand.

Tracks in the sand

Even more tracks. Someone must have tossed crumbs to those birds.

A bigger perspective of that beach

Black and White

Dale offers the prompt “black and white” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Decorations on the exterior of a building, naturally black and white (more or less)

Leaves, formerly rather green, but this is what they look like after the computer ate the color.

I just started using Gimp 2.10. I don’t know what I’m doing. This is what happened when I ran “Desaturate” under the “Colors” menu.

Compass Points

Dale offers the prompt “compass points” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I offered two possibly north facing photos, but I am not sure.

Compass Point: East (based on the rising Sun)

Compass Point: West (based on this wild sunset)

Compass Point: South (based on the Mediterranean Sea being to the East of Jaffa, Israel

Royal Terns — Compass Point: North (more or less) because these Royal Terns are facing the Atlantic Ocean and I’m trying to get close enough with my phone from behind

Compas Point: Probably North since this bridge was crossing the Salzach River in Austra
