Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Water'

photographyAug 8, 20261553,431

The Blue Sky Art Show is a weekly community art event with the theme Water. Today's gallery collects landscape and nature photos, moody coastal scenes, icy phenomena, and a few architectural takes that reflect or evoke water. Look for a grey seal bobbing in the shallows, a fiery alpenglow moment on the Zugspitze over Eibsee, and the little church of St Cwyfan sitting on its tidal island in Porth Cwyfan Bay. Other standout entries include North Sea sunrise views from Bempton Cliffs, Plitvice Lakes reflections, and fractured tidal ice compositions.

Young, pale green reeds protrude sporadically from an extremely still and clear water surface. A blurred, dark branch extends into the picture from the right, creating a sense of depth. The deep, emerald-green water reflects the surrounding vegetation, creating a mystical atmosphere. The precise, vertical reflections of the stalks emphasise the absolute stillness of the scene.

No. I fail to believe there are ever blue skies in Cleethorpes. I say this as someone brought up in Lincolnshire.

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Water, here's 2 shots of the North Sea @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs. One is looking down the cliffs where the Blue Sky meets the Blue Water, and the other is looking out to sea at Sunrise where the Blue Water meets the Orange Sky. #CanonR5mkii #ECK

Winter Serenity for #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Water #EastCoastKin #ECK #photography #reflections #LochLomond #Scotland #winter #bluesky #clouds #sunlight #trees (Compact digital camera, 2010)

Photograph taken on the banks of Loch Lomond in the depths of a wintery 2010 using a hand held little Sony Cybershot. I love the softness those cameras give. While everyone else played golf (seriously not my thing) I took the baby for a wander in their pram. If it wasn't perishingly cold, I could have stayed looking at this all day.

Image shows a view across a perfectly still loch. The frame is divided horizontally by a strip of dark land with the tops of snow capped mountains/hills behind basking in sunlight. There is a wide skeleton tree with fine branches on the left hand side, and some sturdier branches reaching in from top right. The sky is blue with a heavy strip of white cloud immediately above the land. The whole scene is perfectly reflected using that strip of dark land as the mirror point.

Third outing for this one but it's been well over a year, and the first posting was when I'd just joined Bluesky, so that doesn't count. Who couldn't want to see this again? It's such an incredibly beautiful part of Scotland (and there are many of those).

This is so beautiful and peaceful Anna the silence of winter 🤍💙

Jörg-Peter Schnitzler1

The wintry scenery serves as a reminder that even the hottest of summers eventually comes to an end… (unfortunately, it will be back soon). Very impressive photo, Anna.

Some moments never last. For just a few fleeting minutes, the Zugspitze wears fire before the light quietly fades away. #Zugspitze #Eibsee #Alpenglow #Alpenglühen #landscapephotography 📷 #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin #ECK #BlueSkyArtShow #Water #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEphemeral

The turquoise waters of Germany’s Eibsee reflect the glowing peaks of the Zugspitze massif during a brief moment of evening alpenglow. Dark evergreen forests surround the lake, while the rugged limestone mountains are bathed in warm orange light beneath streaked blue skies. A pale gravel shoreline frames the calm water, emphasizing the fleeting beauty of sunset.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Water The church of St. Cwyfan (Eglwys Bach y Mor - the Little Church in the Sea), sits on the small island of Cribinau in Porth Cwyfan Bay near Aberffraw, Anglesey, N.Wales (June 2026). #anglesey #ynysmon #wales #cymru #coastal #coastal #photography #eastcoastkin

A view on a sunny June day of St Cwyfan's Church, a small whitewashed church located on the small tidal island of Cribinau at Porth Cwyfan Bay near Aberffraw on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales.
The church sits on a walled mound and is surrounded by the sea at high tide.
Known as the Eglwys Bach y Mor the "Little Church in the Sea", was founded in the seventh century and rebuilt in stone during the twelfth century. It was added to a number of times before being fully restored in the nineteenth century. It had a congregation until the early 19th century; it is still used today for baptism and marriages.

Good morning all, for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Water #ECK #landscape is here a other canal. 2 days agao it was full with algae. What you can see are the low water levels because of the drought here. Have a fine day ✨️

A other canal with a bit algae and reflections from the white dot clouds in the distance. The trees on the right are reflected in the water. What you can't see is that the water levels is going very low because of the drought.

Happy Saturday! Such a beautiful place Marjo! I learnt all about the beginnings of the canal systems and their importance at the tourist draw of 'This is Holland'...fascinating and mastery of engineering.

Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does. -Margaret Atwood Happy weekend warriors. #BlueSkyArtShow #Water #photography #nature #imageandverse #naturephotography

A capture Henrhyd Falls in Wales in the UK. Lush greenery on either side of the image contrasts with the bare rock in hues of orange. The water tumbles off the rock in a fine mist into a pool below.

This is the highest waterfall in South Wales at 90 feet (27m) and it is possible to walk behind it.
