A diptych of two square photos on a black matte. On the left, a photo of the Ullswater shoreline in winter. Not quite monochrome, but leaning that was naturally & desaturated further. A worn down tree has grown in a sharp cornered U shape & has very few smaller branches or twigs remaining. An out of frame tree has healthier branches which trail along the top. The shoreline is covered in smooth, round rocks. Several larger boulders jut above the waterline & have dark reflections. The largest at the right side of the frame is heavily covered in green moss. The cloudy sky is pale grey & the hills on the far shore are snowy. The image on the right is a photographic collage made using 16 copies of the photo on the left. The photo was rotated clockwise 90° & copies were mirrored on all sides. The sky & water alternate in vertical grey lines split by the distant shore. On the paler grey sky, the tree branches form delicate scrollwork. In contrast, the darker water is punctuated with dark spots of rocks and the bracket-like frame of the rundown tree. The rocky shore forms a bit of a mandala, but it is less obvious at this resolution. By William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

This is Ullswater in The Lake District. It was immortalised in gushing Romantic fashion by Wordsworth's poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud". (See #AltText)

Was this #weekDforDrama or #WeekDforDramatic ?

An empty, derelict factory hall. There are many holes in the roof, there is a nonexistent skylight. Everything is covered in a layer of dust, and there's a bit of unidentifiable debris on the floor. On the right of the hall is a large opening, as if there was once a large sliding door there. Sunlight falls straight into the hall, at a 45° angle. The dust in the air makes the sunlight visible. In the sunlight, an empty, cobweb-covered chair is seen, facing the sunlight, suggesting that someone had been waiting there, and has since gone towards the light.

"To those left behind"
This is more post-drama than actual drama.

Floral drama comes as #dahlia 'Encore' which resembles a sunburst.

I'm ordering some of these tubers for this coming summer's garden delights.

Sunrise is creating orange clouds across the sky and orange tint on the ocean bay. View from the concrete, dilapidated pier at Hāna Bay (Maui, Hawai'i).

A favorite cloud picture which I took from the pier at Hāna Bay a year and a half ago, and surely shared at the time.

Mottled clouds are turned peachy orange as they reflect the sunrise on an autumn day in 2024 above the whitewashed pub that is a few yards from my home and next to the village green in Surrey, south-east England. The pub’s sign hangs from a white post in front of the building to the left.Trees stand out in silhouette on the left and right of frame. Camera: iPhone 14 Pro Max

It’s #BlueSkyArtShow Saturday, with the theme #Clouds and most of us have a collection of those. We just pop outside at any time and watch the changing sky. However, some are more memorable and fit the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDForDrama, too,
like this one above the village pub.

#WeekDforDrama Maybe I’m being dramatic, but thank goodness for weekends. Morning coffee from drive through bakery on the way to work on a 42° day vs Saturday coffee with friends as a cool change rolled in.

#WeekDforDrama even.
Just to make sure it gets the right tag too! 😃

A fallen tree, with bits chopped off, lying on a lawn with its top on the border of a pond. The thick trunk, and the barious branches that have been sawed off, makes it look like a fallen dinosaur of sorts.

A fallen dinosaur?

Hmm, "WeedD." What was I thinking?

Color shot of a wave's splash just after it crashed on a rocky shore in Tortola's Carrot Bay. There is a blue sky with wispy. white clouds a couple palm trees and the green, tropical hills in the background. A couple of colorful Caribbean houses can be seen on the shore.

The black silhouette of a Red Kite, wings outstretched and distinctive forked tail pointing back to the left, is caught as it passes above the bare branches of a tree, which creates a kind of filigree pattern to frame the bird as it is flies through the one clear piece of sky.

Nearly overlooked this picture of a Red Kite I spotted next to the village green as it sought its dinner above the trees. (Red and green but in mono. 🙄)

The shell of a white van that had been set on fire sits in the middle of a dirt track in a forest. To the left tall pine trees rise high into a cloudy sky and on the right, bushes hedge the path.police aware tape has been placed around the van as it awaits removal.

Like a war zone. Walking in the forest near our home in Surrey we came across an obviously stolen van that had been set ablaze after being stripped of parts and abandoned on a fire track.

Black and white photo of two statutes in a church courtyard in Napoli against a concrete wall. They both appear to be cherubs with one larger than the other and missing an arm. The other smaller cherub is clinging to the larger one on its left and looking up as if pleading for something.

The text states 'Gild of Freemen of the City of York'; members are performing a scene from the Book of Genesis, the temptation of Eve by the serpent. Edenic flowers decorate the wagon ... as does the Tree of Knowledge. The timber-framed building behind is part of the estate of York Minster

#AlphabetChallenge Taking #WeekDForDrama literally-one of the medieval plays from the York Mystery Cycle here performed (as is traditional) on wagons in June 2022. The York festival returns this summer-would recommend! #MedievalSky #HumansOfBlueSky #UrbanGaze @ninaramirez.bsky.social

At precisely 11:59, a loud, steamy wail from the sawmill whistle high atop the corrugated metal roof proclaimed the Noon hour and mill crew lunch hour. But three have to wait to eat. Noon always equals change-out of the mighty steel band saw blade on the headrig.

A black&white photograph of the Valley building in Amsterdam -- seemingly haphazardly stacked blocks of concrete, each containing an apartment. The building is brightly lit by the sun.

That's some pretty dramatic architecture...

There's nothing so dramatic and whimsical as the annual #GayPrideParade and festival in #SanFrancisco, held each June. For #spectacle it can hardly be beat. This fine young chap knew how to shake it.

I think this was the 2013 GPP; my photo.
