Art For Art’s Sake

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

Whatever motivated the creators of what is displayed in these images, as images I imagine them as art for its own sake.

In the Evening

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

These are views of sunsets over Biscayne Bay from Normandy Isles in Miami Beach.

We were staying in a place about five floors up which gave us a nice view of the bay.

Out in the Country

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

These are from three different places and even different years.

I love the peaceful silence of walks in the country, alone, although always with the Holy Spirit as company.

Distortion

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

All of these are distortions due to water which is nicely wavy.

It also allows one to see through it as well as see reflections of what is above it.
