Sunday is #Stunday #ShareMondays2026

Smoke from forest fires shroud the Cascades in Washington State. The photo is posted upside down to create an abstract pattern of grays and blues.

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Water

Tons of water tumble over Snoqualmie Falls in Washington State. The 268-foot waterfall is a sacred site for the Snoqualmie Tribe. This black and white photo is taken from below, framing the falls with pine trees and a pebble beach.

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Big

L'Ange Protecteur,' or 'The Guardian Angel,' is piece by the French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle. This colorful, joyful sculpture, with its signature "Nanas" style – which celebrates the female form with bold, exuberant figures – has been a beloved fixture in Zurich's Hauptbahnhof (main train station) since 1997. It measures 11 meters (36ft) tall and weighs 1.2 tonnes (1.3 short tons), and is a familiar sight to Zurich commuters. (The sculpture’s colorful attire and golden wings are dusted every three months. As Niki de Saint Phalle used watercolors, the angel can only be carefully cleaned with a duster and a compressed air spray, for otherwise the colors would fade.)

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: Glass The Boston Logan 9/11 Memorial is a glass cube situated in a quiet grove of trees near the airport's central terminals. It honors the passengers and crews which departed from Boston before being hijacked on September 11, 2001.

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Quiet

A relaxing, indulgent soak in a salt water bath. Lush green tile and a copper edge create a calming effect. A plush pink towel awaits as the entire scene is bathed in natural light from a window.

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #Wide The Hood Canal Bridge spanning the channel separating the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas of Western Washington State. (Or as I like to think of it, the bridge to adventure!) #PNW #PacificNorthwest

Opened in 1961, the Hood Canal Bridge is the world's longest floating bridge in a saltwater tidal basin, notable for its 39 concrete pontoons that allow it to float on deep, tidal waters. The bridge is a vital link for commuters and travelers, but its drawspan must open for marine traffic, including submarines, and it can close for maintenance or high winds.

Key Features:
Length: 7,869 feet total, with a floating section of 6,521 feet.

Structure: Supported by 39 concrete pontoons, designed to handle deep water and tidal forces.

Marine Traffic: The drawspan opens for large vessels, including military submarines.

A mountain stream cuts through lush green forest. The aperture is wide open to smooth the water as it tumbles between moss-covered rocks.
