🔴INDONESIA 🇮🇩| 🌋 Mount Anak Krakatau erupted on Sunday, September 6, sending around volcanic ash plumes up to 50,000 feet. This eruption led to the temporary suspension of flight operations at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. More than 200 flights were diverted.
Photos never seem to capture the beauty we see with our naked eye. Took a walk on East Hill yesterday late evening. Not my usual walk (the other side of the castle and the village from where we are). The castle captured as the sun starts to set and then the horizon west of the village as the sunset becomes twilight. Beautiful. #CorfeCastle #Nature #AlexandersJourney

Thanks for your attention to this matter! BRILLIANT!

A common and popular name for a pub here in England is ‘The Royal Oak’. On this day in 1651 the future King Charles II, having been defeated at the Battle of Worcester, was being pursued by Parliamentarian soldiers. Charles II and an Officer hid in an Oak tree in the woods at Boscobel House. He said that a soldier walked directly underneath him but he remained hidden. He managed to evade capture and eventually fled to mainland Europe. He returned 9 years later as King Charles II. A 4th generation descendent of that tree remains at Boscobel house to this day. 🌳 👑 #TheRoyalOak #History #CharlesII #EnglishCivilWar #Heritage #AlexandersJourney
This is not a photograph, and it's not an oil painting. It might be the most unbelievable watercolor ever made...
It's called Sommarnöje, which means something like Summer Delight, and Anders Zorn painted it in 1886. Look at the water, the gentle ripples, the reflections, the wet sheen of it, and then look at the two people, the fine detail of the wooden rowboat, the woman's white dress, the light on her face.
It has the near-photographic realism of an oil painting, and it was done in watercolor, a medium so unforgiving that a single wrong stroke ruins the entire piece.
Zorn painted this in the first summer of his marriage: the woman in white waiting on the pier is his new wife, Emma, whom he had married only months before. They had just come back from their honeymoon and were staying with her family at Dalarö near Stockholm, still looking for the home where they would spend their life. The man rowing toward her is their friend Carl Gustav Dahlström. It is a real moment from the happiest season of a young couple's life, caught and held forever.
In 2010 this single sheet of watercolor sold for twenty-six million Swedish kronor, over three million dollars, the highest price ever paid for a Swedish painting.
In his own lifetime, Zorn was celebrated above all for two things: his handling of light, and his ability to paint water. Sommarnöje is where you see exactly why...
