Cosmic Photo Challenge: Here’s Some Cool Stuff I Found

Dale offers the prompt “here’s some cool stuff I found” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

One of the places I walk to in order to take pictures of the sunset is a small park.

The photos show my walk to and from that park as the sun set recently.

______

As I crossed this bridge I could see the sun setting and reflecting in the clouds.
Here is a view of the park, but I was attracted to the shadow of the bike on the wall.
Looking away from the sun the cloudy skies stood out on the water.
On the way back it was dark enough for the bridge lights to be on.

Fun In The Sun

Dale offers the prompt “fun in the sun” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

The first photo could also viewed as fun in the wind. Since I can’t swim, this is not something I plan on trying to do.

When the sun rises the birds are there to greet it. Sunrises are more fun with a few clouds to color the sky and many birds.

I imagine whoever is in the boat in the last photo is trying to get home before it’s dark.

______

Some people call whatever they’re doing out there fun.
When the sun rises the birds come out to start the new day.
There’s not much sun left in the day, but people are still out there on their boats

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.

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
