A woman on a stand-up paddleboard at a lake with the sun setting behind a silhouetted tree line with a single electricity pylon at the left. Just some small fluffy clouds in the clear sky.
A brightly lit partyboat is sailing over the river Waal, beneath the railroad bridge in Nijmegen. In the background we see the lights of the festival at the other side of the river. All lights are reflected in the water. The sun has set already, so it's a dusky sky (is that a word 🤣?).
Some small white roses at the end of their blossom period.
The evening sun lights up the tips of some grasses in front of a meadow. Some tree branches in the foreground as well.
A view on the tanneries of Fez, Morocco from above. The tanneries are packed with round stone vessels filled with dye or white liquids for softening the hides. They are surrounded by rooftops.
A dark sunset behind a lake and treeline. Blue sky with some small and large clouds here and there.
A panoramic shot of the turquoise sea with a white boat in the distance at the left and a dock in the foreground at the rigth. Water turns from white to turquoise to dark blue as you look further to the horizon.
The rugged coastline of the Madeira peninsula with rock formation gathering white waves in the sea. A rockformation with a hole in it on top of the cliff where the picture is taken, at the right. The sky is blue with some large, thick clouds.
A small one-room wooden hut with white French doors at the waters edge. A mum is reading a book while her kids play with an inflatable little boat in the water in front of her. The hut is competely surrounded by green. I don't need a villa, I need this. To be alone and recharge. Wouldn't that be the best thing ever?
An abandoned customs house on top of a cliff. We see the shore in the distance beneath a couded sky.
A hilly field with tall grasses at the other side of some water. A gate on top that has green hedges on both sides. The evening sun Illuminates parts of the grasses.
An abandoned customs house on top of a cliff overlooking the sea. The sky is clouded with a stoke of turquoise near the horzion. A footpath runs along the house on the left.
Three Black H'Mong girl in traditional clothes and jewelery are harvesting rice. One girl is slamming a bundle of rice tops against a wooden frame so the rice will fall into the inside. One girl has put a white bag for rice around her skirt against the rain or dirt. There a mist hanging over the hill behind the rice field they are working on. Some trees stand out. A man in the background is cutting the rice.
A delicate rose with dark pink patels at the outer sides and an soft light pink core. A rosebud at its right side.
Sun is setting behind a higway leading into the horizon, with silhouetted trees and electricity pylons at the sides. Sky is clear and getting dark.
A pink flower (still don't know the name, sorry) against green foliage.
Sunbeams bursting thourgh the clouds above the ocean
A brown striped cat with white front paws, chest and snout (?), looking at me calmly, while it sits by the side of the road next to a wooden fence. A dirtroad leading into a distanced forest at the left.
A panoramic shot of the hazy mountains of Vinales, Cuba. Some palmtrees in the foreground. Agricultural fields at the bottom of the steep moutains.
A dark picture at sea. A thick cloud deck hanging above the incoming foamy waves. One wave just started retreating again on the beach in the foreground.
A typical Cuban style row of houses. Two (one yellow, one blue) nicely renovated, one in decay, like so many buildings in Havana are.
A panoramic picture of layered green hills getting more hazy in the back
A dark seascape with a kitesurfer on the far left holding his kite, blowing in the harsh wind, at the far right. The sky has a very dark storm front with just a bright sunny stroke near the horizon.
Blue hour at my favorite lake. The sun has left the clouded sky with a touch of pink. Silhouttetted trees at the horizon. Sky and trees reflected in the almost still water.
Horizontal lightning in a clouded sky with blue tones. At the bottom of the frame we see some roofs and silhouetted plants.
A hazy sunset behind a lake. A boat softly drifting on the rippled water next to a swimmers line. Silhouetted trees at the right.
An old yellow cuban house with light blue wooden windows, doors and balcony. Two older men sit on a doorstep, one is holding up a newspaper in front of his face. A donkey to the left, another man with a straw hat on the right. Four straw bags lined up before them.
A clouded sky above a very dark sea. A fishing boat at the far right on the horizon. The whole scene feels a bit like an old painting by a Dutch painter.
Two green trees againt a clear bluesky viewed from below. They look like the profile of two faces towards each other with open mouths.
A coastal town from a distance tucked in between steep green cliffs on the left and a quiet ocean on the right. Sky is clear with a few clouds.
A sunset at a lake with a swimmersline in the foreground. The sun is a bright orange ball setting behind a treeline, giving the sky a soft orange glow. More blue more up. Some wispy white and darker clouds.
Dark waves coming in. Their white splashes being lit from behind by the setting sun. The sky is gold (actually kind of yellow/orange, but gold sounds much better doesn't it?). Some modern windmills at sea in the background.
A small lake with green vegetation and meadows at the other side beneath a clouded spring sky. The water is getting more and more clear nearer to the foreground where a bush of waterplants (kind of in the shape of a heart) is surrounded by soft incoming current. Sun is reflecting these on the sand at the bottom.
A footpath in a softly lit forest. A white flower in the foreground.
A fountain stretching into the distance in a palace garden of Alhambra. A round bowl with water and some pots with boxwood in the foreground. A gallery at the right. The sky is clear blue.
A miixture of white wooden chairs and tables in the sand at a beach club. Some thatched parasols and party lights hanging from poles streching out into the distance. The sky behind is very dark as a storm is approaching. The setting sun illuminates parts of the chairs quite brightly, other parts are dimly lit. Dark sea in the background.
Some red poppies next to a road? Wrong. Two way bicycle lane. This is the Netherlands. We have those.
Dark waves coming on shore and retrieving, with only their white parts softly touched by the light of the setting sun. A very dark stormfront in the background.
A vietnamese boat passing by below. The shipper is pushing some wooden trunks in front of his boat. The hood of the boat is painted blue.
Looking down on a coastal village with predominantly orange tiled roofs. Some small and larger rock formations in the sea near the shore where the waves turn into white and soft turquoise.
A very dark stormcloud above the beach (on the left) and dark sea (on the right). Waves have left a trails of foam at the beach that reach far into the distance and is softly illuminated by the setting sun. The beach is brightly lit by the setting sun as well.
A soft pink flower of a blackberry plant sharp in the foreground. Behind it an inviting footpath leading into the woods
A lone small tree that's a little bit flattened by the harsh seawind coming from the right. Yellow flowers in front. And a blue sky with white cloudes behind.
In this picture we see the fishing boat has made it passed the rainshower we saw it approaching in the picture I posted yesterday. Dark rainstorm above a dark sea. The ship is contrasted against a clearer golden sky.
A very dark sky above a dark sea with rain falling down against a soft orange, clearer sky. A fishing boat is approaching the rain from the left. White waves in the foreground. Will it survive the storm? I'll show you tomorrow.
Water is being pumped up through a round vassel and bursting out over the edge where it plunges in a small lake. It's actually part of a natural infiltration area where water from the IJsselmeer is being cleared through sand of dunes. In the background we see reed, yellow flowers, forest and blue sky with typical Dutch skies.
A dirt road that turns to the left with Vietnames woman and men in traditional clothing walking towards a market around the corner (that's inside information for you, because you can't acutally see the market, but I know, because I was there ;-)).
A dark stormcloud hangs above a stroke of clear sky above the sea. All in soft golden hues. Waves are coming in and the setting sun illuminates the splashes. Some modern windmills in the far distance at sea.
A heavy stormfront on the left of the picture while the setting sun is pushing through some light clouds on the right. Sunlight reflected on the retrieving waves on the right while on the left it's pitch black.
A path through dunes leading down towards the sea. The sea has a soft colour and incoming waves. A dark blue band at the horizon with soft pastel colours in the soft cloudy sky above.
Dusk at sea. A dark cloud bank with some soft apricot beneath hangs over the sea with modern windmills in the far distance. A big wave coming in amidst a turbulent sea.
A dark picture of a sunset at sea. Dark blue clouds with a small soft pink spot. Foamy waves coming in.
Layers of hills behind one and another in the Halong Bay area with some ships sailing through as well. There's a small temple on top of a big one in the foreground.
A rocky cliff with green vegetation higher up that ends in sea. Along side the cliff a metal footpath was created all along and turning the corner. We see the soft silhouette of a small island in the very hazy distance. Wanna know where that path leads to, don't ya?
A lake with a lot of ducks at dusk. It's almost a black and white picture. Silhouetted ducks on the surface that is light coloured from the sky it is reflecting.
Rain clouds of all kinds of gray and blue above the sea. A speck of blue sky on the far left. Sunbeams bursting through a gap in the clouds at the right over the ocean in the distance. Two mountainbikers on the beach passing it by.
A dark picture of silhouetted people in a concerthall holding up their phones with the light on, some white, some green to support the artist during a slow song
Sun has set behind trees behind a nearly still lake. It has left the sky looking like a disco show with bright pink, orange, sotf blues and yellows on strokes of clouds. Some silhouetted trees and the sky are relfected in the water.
Close-up of a plant (sorry, don't know the name, but enlighten me) with drops of rain on its smooth light green leaves. It's not mint, but don't let that ruin the story ;-).
A far view over the coastline of Madeira. In front are green steep cliffs running into the ocean with only a small beach or road seperating sea from cliff. Further in the background we see somewhat hazy villages scattered over lower hills. Some coloration here and there in the calm looking ocean. Blue sky with some near and far clouds. Hope this Alt-text does this picture justice. I tried my best.
