One of the most photographed structures in the U.S. -- Glade Creek Mill in West Virginia's Babcock State Park. With today's theme of #Autumn, I always remember this stunning day in Almost Heaven.... #BlueSkyArtShow #westvirginia #gladecreekmill #babcockstatepark #autumnglory #almostheaven

The dramatic interior of the Peabody Library in Baltimore, Maryland. Stunning space, free access. #BlueSkyArtShow #inside #baltimore #peabodylibrary #architecturalphotography #wideangle #fisheye #library #skylight #readingroom #lookingup

The sky was glowing on this breathtaking evening -- exploring the driftwood along Quileute Beach in the Pacific Northwest. #BlueSkyArtShow #glow #quileute #pnw #washingtonstate #driftwood #beachcombing #explorers #seastacks #sunsetglow

#Relax is today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme. Makes me think of this early morning in the Willamette Valley of Oregon -- enjoying the beautiful vista while the fog slowly lifts. “I will meditate on your wonderful works.” Psalms 145:5 #willamettevalley #foggymorning #praisethelord #flowersandfog

These "Lexus Lines" are pretty #Shiny. I'm a fool for chrome, colors, lines and reflections. #BlueskyArtShow #abstractphotography #lexus #reflections #frontgrill #headlight #chrome

One of the most peaceful and scenic places on the planet: Sylvan Lake in the Black Hills of Custer State Park, South Dakota. The entire park is a "must see". #Stunday #SkySunday #photography #infrared #sylvanlake #custerstatepark #southdakota #monochrome #reflections

Theme for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow is #Jagged. Titled "Forward Thinking", I created it with an inexpensive FujiInstax mirror-effect lens. Subject is a mobile sculpture at the Baltimore Museum of Art (which, by the way, is a gem). #BMA #Fujifilm #Instax #abstractphotography #followyourarrow

Grateful for summer carnivals, soft winds, and curious snacks. #gratitude #BlueSkyArtShow #friedtwinkies #corndogs #carnivals #fairgrounds #photography #fujifilm #nostalgia

A study in pastels: Choptank Sunset with #alternating lines and colors. #BlueSkyArtShow #bridges #easternshore #pastels #sunset #choptankriver #maryland

#SummerDaze means Carnival Days. Hot summer nights, sparkling colors, whirl of machinery, smells of cotton candy. #BlueSkyArtShow #carnival #fairgrounds #timeexposure #summernights

A different take on the beautiful tones and textures of palm leaves. #BlueSkyArtShow #Sideways

Biking on the Burgundy Canal near Dijon is a wonderful way to #GetOutside and celebrate this week's #BlueskyArtShow. #photography #infrared #biking #CanaldeBourgogne #burgundy #dijon #canal #bikers

#WaterfallWednesday on BlueSky is an opportunity to show the awesome size and power of #IguazuFalls on the #Argentina and #Brazil border. The extent of the overall falls is likely 5 times what you see in this #infrared image. #wondersoftheworld #PhotographersofBluesky #rainforest #ArtInNature

‪ Today's theme for the #BlueSkyArtShow is #Vibrant. The American Heritage Dictionary defines vibrant as "pulsing or throbbing with energy or activity". I think this image fits the bill. #57chevy #grill #bumper #lightshow #vintageauto #reflections #linesandcolors #canon #chromedreams #chrome

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow is #Texture. Every time I look at this photo, I want to run my fingers over the peeling paint. I call the image "Topography of a Truck", and it was captured in my happy place, the great State of Maine.

This week's theme for #Blueskyartshow: #lines. These lines, from a DC museum, really grabbed my attention. #goingup

Time for a little eye candy. #blueskyartshow #green #abstractart #nature #spiderplant

"And the desert will rejoice, and flowers will bloom in the wilderness." Isaiah 35:1 #BlueSkyArtShow #Earth #Badlands

I #Dream of crossings, both good and bad. The journey...the mystery of what's on the other side. #BlueSkyArtShow

Need some of these quiet moments after all the turmoil and outrage of this past week...#BlueSkyArtShow #Peaceful

‪ It's #arch Saturday on the #BlueSkyArtShow. #Venice is full of some of the most beautiful arches I've seen.

It's been a blessing -- #thejourney. And this was one of the highlights: barging along the Canal Bourgogne near Dijon. #BlueSkyArtShow

I didn't realize how often windows caught my eye as a photographer -- until I saw that today is #windows day on #BlueSkyArtShow. This one I call "WV Van Gogh".

2/From Pete Hamill's liner notes for Dylan's classic "Blood on the Tracks" LP in 1974 -- 50 years ago! Where are today's artists? #bloodonthetracks #dylan #petehamill

1/"There is no politician anywhere who can move anyone to hope...the statesmen are as irrelevant as the tarnished statues in the public parks. We live with a callous on the heart. Only the artists can remove it. Only the artists can help the poor land again to feel." #dylan #petehamill

‪ Photographers: Today's theme on #BlueSkyArtShow is #Abandoned. For some skewered reason deep in my psyche, now you're talking my wheelhouse: #freedom #wyoming #garage #sepia

In honor of this weekend's Super Bowl in New Orleans, here's my salute to the marvelous music coming out of that city....

Where I need to escape to get away from this past week's insanity....

One of my retirement goals was to spend more time pouring over liner notes from LPs in my vinyl collection. Today I discovered Stephen Stills (!) plays percussion on the Bee Gee's "You Should Be Dancing" on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Strange bedfellows.

One of two images juried into the annual photography exhibit at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in Hagerstown, Maryland. This one I call "Pond Poetry". Show runs March 29-July 27, 2025.

New to BlueSky. I like to photograph all kinds of subjects, but I'll Introduce myself with the kind of image I enjoy capturing the most -- something a bit different.
