Morning Moon

Sunrise touches the mountain tops with first warmth, while a gibbous moon sets in a cold sky.

November, Hornafjörður, south-eastern #Iceland.

A colour photo of a snow-capped mountain top, its south-facing flanks coloured pink by the rising sun. A veil of cloud is clinging to the peaks, also tinted with pink. Above is a clear cyan sky with a gibbous moon hanging over the mountains.

Stand Of Trees

"And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast
The sun ariseth in his majesty;
Who doth the world so gloriously behold
That cedar-tops and hills seem burnish'd gold."
- #ShakespeareSunday, Venus and Adonis

From my bedroom window in Fife, #Scotland.

A colour photo of a sunrise, seen through the silhouette of a row of trees. At the bottom of the shot behind a rooftop chimney pot the sky is yellowish, by the centre of the photo it has become orange and gold. Towards the top, where the treetops are, it has shades of deep orange-red.

"O, 'twas a din to fright a monster's ear,
To make an earthquake! sure, it was the roar
Of a whole herd of lions"
- #ShakespeareSunday, Tempest

Stratovolcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted in 2010, disrupting air traffic in northern and western Europe for a week.
Now, it's quiet. At its northern foot, many farms are working the fertile land.
Until the next time it roars.

North of Skógar and west of Mýrdalsjökull, southern #Iceland.

A colour photo of a snow-capped volcano under a clear cyan sky. Some low cloud is clinging to the peak of the mountain and its higher slopes are glaciated. Lower down its flanks the rock becomes brown and is covered in irregular lumps which are actually old lava flows. At the base of the mountain are green fields, and farm buildings are scattered there.

Blue Sky Thinking

February has frozen the lake solid, but visitors are still walking along the tops of the rootless cones.

Mývatn¹ in Skútustaðahreppur, north-eastern #Iceland is a shallow lake situated in an area of active volcanism, near Krafla volcano.

A colour photo of a snow scene beneath an almost clear cyan sky. A frozen lake stretches away from the viewpoint, and on the horizon is a row of small black hills formed by ancient steam explosions. Tiny figures of people are visible walking along the rims. The shiny ice is reflecting the colour of the sky.

"Full many a glorious morning have I seen
Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy"
- #ShakespeareSunday, Sonnet 33

Queen's View on Loch Tummel in the Tay Forest Park, Highland Perthshire, #Scotland.

In the distance is Schiehallion, the "Fairy Mountain."
This shot was taken in early Autumn, as the foliage was beginning to change.

A colour photo of a landscape dominated by a body of water and green grassy banks dipping towards its shores. The foreground is a bank of trees, conifers and deciduous in a natural mix. The sky is mostly clear, some small clouds are adding shadows across the scene. In the centre is a distant, conical mountain, recoloured by tonal perspective. It's very beautiful.

"Lawn as white as driven snow;
Cyprus black as e'er was crow;
Gloves as sweet as damask roses;
Masks for faces and for noses"
- #ShakespeareSunday, Winter's Tale

Mid-March and Reynisfjara¹, the famous black beach in southern #Iceland, is completely deserted apart from ourselves.
Fiercely cold but exceptionally beautiful. Only the wailing of sea-birds and soft lapping of the waves disturbed the peace.

A colour photo of a beach, reduced almost to monochrome. The sands stretching before the viewer are black and the waves provide a white foam contrast. A line of ice clutter has been left across the volcanic sands by tidal action, and the distant mountain is snow-capped. At the end of that promontory are sea stacks standing in the ocean. The sky is grey and overcast, heavy with snow. In the middle foreground is a single stack of rock, standing alone on the strand like a stump.

"Timon hath made his everlasting mansion
Upon the beached verge of the salt flood;
Who once a day with his embossed froth
The turbulent surge shall cover"
- #ShakespeareSunday, Timon of Athens

For #SilentSunday, this is the salt marsh near Leverburgh on Harris in the Outer Hebrides of #Scotland on a beautiful summer's day.

#StillerSonntag #LandscapePhotography

A colour photo of a landscape of green hills and a blue sky with thin clouds. The foreground is of an unusual marsh, the water surrounding odd-shaped rounded hummocks of grass, standing like miniature islands in the clear water. On the horizon, in front of the hills, are houses and cottages. The land is a lush deep green, and the wetland reflects the colour of the sky.
