Walking back from a gig tonight, I noticed lots of people in Castle Street taking pictures. So I turned around to see what they were photographing.

And this is what I saw.

#Edinburgh #castle #moon #photography #clouds

A colour photograph of the moon coming out from behind thick cloud, behind Edinburgh Castle. The castle, in the centre of the picture, is illuminated and appears bathed in orange-red light. The moon is just above the castle, and is the brightest thing in the picture. The moon is a white disc, with no detail visible. It is the clouds which make the picture. There are two dark circles of cloud, one on each side of the moon, which is lighting up their edges so they look like eyes or spectacles. The rest of the sky is very dark, and the cliffs of Castle Hill are also dark. In the bottom right corner the top of a tree can be seen, lit up by a street lamp. The leaves are bright green.

A dramatic, high-angle landscape photograph of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi's upper terrace, taken on an overcast day. In the foreground, a diagonal stone balustrade with a partial view of a large, striped courtyard with a long arched cloister on the right. A few tourists are visible. To the left, a stone building with "HOTEL SUBASIO" written on its side. Beyond the courtyard, the misty, sprawling Umbrian countryside unfolds with cultivated fields and distant towns. A flock of birds flies in a loose formation against the heavily clouded, grey sky, which has a patch of faint sunlight breaking through. The distant Apennine mountains are silhouetted against the horizon, shrouded in mist.

I love dry stone walls 💚 And a pretty #sunset isn't too bad either

A vibrant landscape photograph taken at sunset, with a low-angle perspective. In the foreground, a rugged, dry stone wall runs horizontally across the frame, covered with moss and small plants. Behind the wall, tall, thin stalks of dead grass and weeds rise against the horizon. The sun is a brilliant golden disc on the right, casting a warm glow and producing strong sunbeams that radiate upwards into the sky. The sky is a mix of deep orange, yellow, and red near the horizon, fading into soft blue and covered with dramatic, streaky grey and white clouds. The overall mood is serene and peaceful.

#FotoVorschlag: Oben und unten // Up and down, top and bottom, above and below

Das Oben spiegelt sich im Unten. Das Unten spiegelt sich im Oben. Äh, was spiegelt sich jetzt wo? 😵‍💫🤪
// The above is reflected in the below. The below is reflected in the above. Huh? What is reflected where now??

Spoiler: The picture is upside down
#Photography#Landscape#Sky#Clouds#Reflection #Spiegelung

Blauer Himmel mit weißen Wolken und einem Kondensationsstreifen spiegelt sich in ruhigem Wasser. Ein Streifen Wald in der Bildmitte ist zugleich die Spiegelachse. Das Foto steht auf dem Kopf, was nur an den leichten Verzerrungen in der oberen Bildhälfte erkennbar ist, die durch die feinen Wasserrippel verursacht wurden. // A blue sky with white clouds and a con trail is reflected in calm water. A strip of forest in the centre of the picture marks also the mirror axis. The photo is upside down, which can only be recognised by the slight distortions in the upper half of the picture caused by the fine water ripples.
