Letchworth State Park in NY earlier this week. You can see some of the smog from the Canadian fires starting to arrive. #forestfriday #scape #landscape #photography #eck

View of the geneseo river from above the gorge. On the left, the bank is covered with green trees and the ground on the right has more amber mid summer dry grass. The sky is multi colored and filled with particulates from Canadian forest fires.

The Empire State building rotated so that it’s on its side pointing left and the image has been colored abstractly.

My late pup, Pookie up on the Gunks early morning. #mountainmonday #DogsOfBluesky #Photography

Photo of my dog, a black and brown Bora door. She’s sitting on a rock on top of a mountain. In the background, you can see green vegetation in the distance. You can see the Berkshire Mountains with an orange glow of sunrise and the sky is very cloudy

Art deco ornament on the hood of a vintage auto with a #wide reflection of the sky. #blueskyartshow #photography #eck

The photo is of a black hood on an old car with a chrome art, deco hood, ornament, pointing forward. The black hood is very shiny, and you can see a reflection of the sky with clouds, some dark blue, and in the lower left-hand corner of palm tree. The curve of the hood distort the view viewing of the sky that it’s reflecting.

Late afternoon view of Lady Liberty. #urbangaze #nyc #photography #eck

View across New York Harbour from the Brooklyn Bridge Park. In the bottom of this picture and close, you’ll see some green weeds a little beyond that there are assorted pilings. New York Harbor fans out at an angle above that and in the left-hand side of the foto is the Statue of Liberty the sky is partly cloudy and the color makes a really cool transition from the right moving to the left of blue to golden as you get closer to the sun.

Close-up shot of wind chimes hanging in the greenhouse. #BlueskyArtShowHashtagMacro #Photography #ECK.

Looking up at a set of windchimes, there are five aluminum cylinders, which are the chimes. There is a wooden disc between them that strikes the chimes. It is set in the greenhouse in the downstairs area of my house.. This was shot with a lens that has a .95 aperture so the background is incredibly blurred out.

Black and white photo of the Big Sur coastline in California. This picture was taken 10 years ago today when I visited there. #TidesOutTuesday #rockintuesday #ClassicMono #Photography #LandscapePhotography #California #ECK

Looking south along the California coast line at Big Sur. The photo is in black-and-white and on the left you can see the coastline with Palisades like slopes leading up to the land and on the right you can see the Pacific Ocean. There is a small beach towards the center bottom of the photo

Mendocino beano… #blueskymonday #blue #ocean #mountainmonday #photography #eck

View of the Pacific Ocean from Mendocino, California. There are ocher wildflowers at the bottom of the photo. There is a turquoise lagoon surrounded by very large rock outcroppings with an opening between them. There is a small archway on under one of the rock formations on the left. The ocean is blue as is the sky.

10 years ago today. Phone photo of the Columbia River Gorge taken during a 10 week road trip cross country and back. The road curves in one direction, the river in the other.. #blueskyartshow #curve #photography #landscape #eck

The road is on the right with an asphalt pavement. There is a guard rail that curves to the right. To the left of that is an ocher colored shoreline. The river cuts from the left and curves to the right.. You can see mountains on the left and right shore and in the distance. The sky is deep blue with pale white clouds that let some of the blue through. You can see streaks across the sky from airplanes.

Got my swag. NYC was buzzing yesterday. The lines at MSG Store were insane. Sports is stupid but I played organized ball from 6th grade till after Hi School. The early 70s Knicks were beloved. This team has wiped out 53 years of frustration. #urbangaze #humansofbluesky #knicks
