It's Saturday's #BlueSkyArtShow and the theme is #edge.
Black and white photo of a narrow street in Florence that leads straight, perpendicularly, onto another where there are large hanging banners or posters for an exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci that includes the word "ALIVE" in all caps under his name. People stand or walk in both streets. One doorway centrally visible to the viewer features a distinctive door frame in the Tuscan aesthetic style of bold geometric curved and straight lines in black and white.

My focus again: the juxtapositions, textures, lines, & that signature Tuscan black-n-white geometric building design. #ECK #SensoryArt #StreetPhotography #UrbanGaze #ClassicMono #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOld #FlorenceTravel #BnWPhotography
Two women and a man sitting in silhouette against the white vertical spouts of water at the edge of the fountain at Lincoln Center. The people are dressed up waiting for the New York Philharmonic concert to start.

Black and white photo of people sitting under a large parasol at a street cafΓ© that is right in front of an old church, its building shape and dome towering over them with contrasting straight lines, curves, window frames, architecture, and shapes.

Chapel of the (Medici) Princes, 16th C.
I was drawn by the juxtapositions of lines, curves, shapes, old, and new in this church/cafΓ© shot. #ECK #SensoryArt #StreetPhotography #UrbanGaze #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOld #FlorenceTravel #WindowsOnWed #ClassicMono #BnWPhotography
A monochromatic image featuring the mirrored facade of 5001 Yonge St. in Toronto (former city of North York). There are distorted reflections of the Royal Pinnacle condo building (completed 2020) which sits a block north. On the right side of the frame, is the much newer Pearl Place (completed 2024) which sits to its south. Despite being of similar size overall, the two condo buildings have very difference unit density and square footage. The shot forms a microcosm of what condo development shifted between over the past few decades. Royal Pinnacle has 320 units on 32 floors. They range between 575 sq ft and 2104 sq ft. Pearl Place has 478 units on 34 floors. They range between 482 sq ft and 1049 sq ft. We allowed developers to construct building after building overloaded with tiny units suited to a couple at most, but more often bought by foreign investors as a way to safely store their wealth (sometimes rented out, but often allowed to sit vacant). And then we wonder why families are moving further and further from urban centers... Tech Details: Nikon D610 105mm f/2.8 Exposure: 1/3200s Aperture: f/4.5 ISO: 250 Exposure Bias: -2.0 Post Production in Affinity to shift the image to B&W
5001 Yonge St is an office building built in 1991.
The distorted #reflection is Royal Pinnacle (2000). The building on the right is Pearl Place (2024). See #AltText for the difference 24 yrs makes.

A beautiful tree at the edge of the Gala Policies woodland. Its green leaves are illuminated by the sunlight and dappling the moss-covered network of tree roots.
A lovely (beech?) tree at the edge of the Gala Policies, a local woodland here in Galashiels. π³ It is part of the Southern Upland Way, which is a route spanning from the west coast of Scotland right across to the east coast.

A close up color photo of a large pink flower with wide petals that are curling up a bit. The light is very soft from an overcast day. Photo by me on my Android camera phone

The slightly softer
focus at the outer #edge
of the petals
lends a quality
of depth.

This photo was taken from Black Hill, Morro Bay, and is looking across the Morro Bay Estuary towards Elfin Forest which is located at the furthest point of Morro Bay's inlet (just left of center vertically and just above center horizontally). This was taken in October 2025, before we had received winter rain, so the estuary is brown.
This photo was taken from one of the lookouts on the Elfin Forest trail in Los Osos, California. In the foreground is low vegetation that sits at the edge of a bluff overlooking the estuary which is green with various waterways running through it. Across the flat estuary is Black Hill (1/3 in from the right edge of the frame). The top of Black Hill is obscured by morning clouds. This photo was taken in April 2026 after we had received winter rain, so the estuary is green.

Both these photos were taken on the edge of the estuary, but from opposite sides. Pic #1 (left) is from Black Hill looking towards Elfin Forest. Pic 2 is from Elfin Forest looking towards Black Hill.

Volcano, plateau, bones, death. New Mexico *is* the freaking edge of everything you thought you knew and why I'm here.

The rainbow came. #blueskyartshow

A frozen pond surrounded by reeds guilded with ice and frost. Through the mist two crafty trees can be seen on the far side. #misty #foggy
I only have about three pics of the ocean. Little ponds though? Readily accessible and those shores contain wonders. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Edge all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments.

Photo of black-bellied whistling ducks. One is facing right, standing in the grass on the edge of a pond. Next to the first duck is the second, facing left, and perched atop a post that has a lifesaving ring and rope hanging from it.
