The Canadian Rockies are home to some of our planet's most spectacular mountain scenery. Radiating clouds reflect the last light of day onto beautiful turquoise Peyto Lake & surrounding mountains. True to its name, the mountains of the Endless Chain end at the edge of the world. #photography

Gold. I found out this morning that a couple of my images had been awarded Gold Standard by the British Photographers Alliance and this one had also won Judges choice for image of the month for April 2025. This means I have now been awarded Gold standard by 3 seperate UK photographic societies.

The aptly-named Reflection Lake at Mt #Rainier (Mt Tahoma) NP for #scape day. On calm days it’s simply gorgeous. #photography #landscape #reflection #mountain #volcano

Tonight on Back Bay. Some scattered thunderstorms rolled through to the south. Wild, mythical clouds hovered. #photography #NaturePhotography #landscape #BackBay

Painted skies and peaceful tides—Birubi Beach is putting on a show. Tonight was another beautiful sunset at Birubi Beach, Port Stephens! Which mood does this sunset stir in you—peace, wonder, or something else? #nature #sunset #beach

Today I reached 3k followers, something that would be unheard of for me on Facebook. I’ve always been a social media failure and often that has made me question my work. Thank you for the likes, shares, and comments. They mean a lot to me. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography

Spring is here and the “Wildflowers” will soon arrive! #oilpainting #canadianartist #art

Reflection is one of the landscape photographer's favorite tools to create spectacular compositions. A scene which might be more or less ordinary, such as a daily sunset or the branches of a tree, can suddenly transform into a dramatic landscape filled with symmetry and natural composition. #nature

Another heron painting! This one is called “Going Home” (9”x12” oil on raised panel) Inspired by local herons and landscape. #blueskyartist #oilpainting #heronpainting #canadianartist #gsky

After a week of rejections on jobs - seeing views like this just keep pushing me on to strive to go full time as a professional photographer. #lakedistrictnationalpark #lakedistrict @friendsoflakes.bsky.social @cumbriaguide.bsky.social

“Belgian Draughts” “14 X 11” oil on board By Christie Kemp

Sometimes you just need to let the landscape do the talking in a photograph, like the sky explodes in colour like this sunrise a couple of years ago on the local beach. #sevenmilebeach #sunrise #landscape #photography #beach #australia #shoalhaven

The sun sets on another beautiful day along the California coast. #photography #landscapes #landscapephotography #California

I am fascinated with hummingbirds, they appear to be suspended in mid-air, seeming motionless, while a whirlwind of wings blurs around it, creating a dance of color and motion - hummingbird in flight, nature's aerial artistry. ‘Swift Blue Flight’ #art #oilpainting @pinemoonfineart.bsky.social

A little bit of a timeline cleanse tonight. The tones and colors of this shot always struck me as interesting. It's a simple shot, yet has a lot going on. #oregoncoast #landscapephotography #photography #waves

"Lady Of The Lake" Life finds a way. I was reminded of the Lady of the Lake offering the sword excalibur to King Arthur. A re-edit posted in celebration of @dogoodcomplex.bsky.social's birthday! #reflections #Photography #VancouverIsland #Canada #PNW #naturephotography #landscapephotography

Happy Wednesday from the Pacific Northwest! A shot from this past weekend in the moody woods. This one will best be viewed landscape mode.

Seeing in the sunrise at Lake Conjola is often pretty magical, watching the line of surfers heading out to Green Island to score a few waves before school or work. #photography #landscape #beach #australia #sunrise #lakeconjola

Golden Wings

Dawn’s 1st light illuminates Mount Rainier, its reflection veiled in mist. Earth, water, and air unite. Nature's magic lingers in the quiet morning. #art #bluesky #mountain #tbt #scapes #photography #pnw #washingtonstate #landscape #landscapephotography #womenphotographers #canon #paganphotography
