Photo of the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre museum. The photo is in partially black and white colours or so it seems given the stormy dark light. The pyramid's glass reflects the clouds in the stormy sky above and behind it. A light flare just above the museum shines through at an angle. Dark grey storm clouds rimmed with silver fill the sky.

"Let your light shine so brightly that others can see their way out of the dark."

The side of a pyramid building looms up diagonally into a brilliant blue sky laced with fat white clouds. The photo emphasizes the dark black side seam where two of the pyramid's sides meet at a sharp angle. Lines are visible through the glass inside the building. The glass itself looks dark blue because it's reflecting the colour of the sky behind it. Most of the photo is a series of black lines bisecting and juxtaposed against various blue coloured objects.

The Louvre's glass pyramid, seen diagonally from the ground up.

I lay on the ground to get the shot but no-one seemed to think me nuts, so perhaps it's not uncommon? #Photography #BlueSkyMonday #Clouds #ECK #Museums #PalaceAndGardens #Scape #Symmetry #BlueSkies

Trees and shrubs wrapped in colorful holiday lights.

Good morning, Susan and #Coffeehouse friends. Welcome to a beautiful start to a new year. Here's our town's Garden of Lights for your #PalaceandGardens

I feel more Norway themed posts should go up, (only joking) 😜 lol I will have a look through and see what interesting themes can be added to this wonderful #PalaceandGardens hashtag Sabine 🤔👍🏼

Family drifting along the candy cane pathways at Koziar's Christmas Village

The view of how folks are introduced to Koziar's Christmas Village; from the car park on arrival first thing you see is a huge barn with the name in lights, and a grain solo, topped with a US flag, and a Santa Claus in lights climbing up the side

Busy evening, with many families admiring the faux buildings and stores at Koziar's Christmas Village

Looking across the model train town at Koziar's Christmas Village with tiny houses all with lit windows and trains running between them; in the background the large entrance barn with large festive symbols on the roof and sides all picked out in lights

Sorry for lack of posts of late; two excuses, weather and work. Time before or after work to randomly snap is tricksy with the shorter days ... also experimenting with drone things; roll on new year. So for now ... a few more lights

Green bushes stand next to and below a white window on a white house façade. The view is obscured by a hanging branch with red and golden leaves.

Color photograph looking out across Hershey Gardens' lake and its fountain to the rose gardens beyond, as visitors wander around on a very overcast grey day. With the rooftops of the historic Hershey Hotel in the background on the right

No blue sky, no blue in sight, just acres of overcast and grey. As long as the rain held off, didn't stop the visitors, just the photographic pain of a massive overhead softbox

The picture shows the Church of Agia Sofia in Monemvasia, Greece. The church was built in the 12th century and is located at the highest point of Monemvasia Castle. The church is an impressive example of Byzantine architecture. It was originally dedicated to Panagia Hodegetria (the Virgin who shows the way). During Ottoman rule, the church was converted into a mosque, but after Greek independence it was returned to Christian worship. The church is one of the most important monuments in the region and offers a sweeping view of the Aegean Sea.

Black and white photo of a grand, sweeping staircase that is wide and high leading up to an extremely tall, arched door with hanging drapes. The steps are marble as well as the banisters. The walls of the room have decorate reliefs and sconces that help light the rather dark room. Bucharest Parliament.

View from one of the upper windows of Threave House, a beautiful and sizeable Victorian property whose grounds are home to the School of Heritage Gardening. Owned by The National Trust for Scotland, near Castle Douglas, Dumfriesshire. Manicured lawns and flowerbeds in the foreground with an avenue of huge trees beyond and Dumfriesshire hills in the distance.

Photograph taken sneaking my phone through the gap of a small open window in one of the top rooms of Lyme Park in Cheshire. A statue of Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, arm round a stag, surveys her domain of neatly mown lawns, ornamental trees and wooded hills beyond. Blue sky with white clouds overhead. The top stone walls and balustrades of the house below her. Lyme Park in Cheshire is run by the National Trust and well worth a visit.

the southern california desert doesn't have much in the way of palaces. but we occasionally get a closed restaurant with a unique facade. think "palace lite" - really lite.
