The sun sinks toward the horizon in a deep red sky as a high-rise and skyline stand in silhouette below.A bright white sun glows low beside the silhouetted rooftop of a high-rise against a deep orange sky.Fireworks burst in gold over a dark lake at night, their light streaking in a long reflection across the water.Frozen droplets of water leap over pebbles at the shore in warm golden light.A deep red sun sets over a silhouetted city skyline of rooftops and overhead wires.A large orange full moon rises behind a silhouetted alpine ridge under a deep blue sky.A gray heron stands in shallow water before green foliage, its form mirrored in the still surface below.A western honey bee drinks at the water edge on a dried leaf as another bee flies past behind it.A European robin perches on the edge of a large leaf with a small insect in its bill against a soft green background.A warm half moon shows its cratered terminator behind the silhouetted top of a conifer against a black sky.A common tern flies across a soft rainbow band with a small fish held in its bill.A rainbow descends from a grey sky onto Lake Zurich, its base meeting the far shore as a small bird glides over the water.A latte with leaf-patterned foam sits in a two-tone ceramic cup on a wooden table by a bright window.Deep purple clouds glow with red and coral afterglow above a silhouetted tree line and a small turreted building.A mallard duckling swims toward the camera across rippled green water, droplets beading on its downy head.A gray heron looks down its long yellow bill in close profile against a dark green background.Layered clouds glow orange and deep purple after sunset while a small flock of birds crosses the sky.The Matterhorn rises above forested slopes and scattered chalets under a blue sky with drifting clouds.An alpine marmot sits upright in green alpine vegetation beside a small yellow flower, its fur lit by the sun.An alpine marmot rests at the edge of its burrow on a gravel mound surrounded by alpine grass and wildflowers.Two common blue butterflies rest close together on bare earth, their grey undersides marked with black spots and orange lunules.Edelweiss and purple alpine asters bloom on a grassy ridge with the blurred Matterhorn rising behind them.Three woolly edelweiss flowers grow from a sunlit rock as a small black ant rests on the uppermost bloom.Warm alpenglow lights the upper face of the Matterhorn while its lower slopes and the surrounding valley rest in blue shadow.A towering cloud glows orange with afterglow above a silhouetted ridge under a muted dusk sky.A vertical cluster of glowing star-shaped lanterns lights a narrow cobblestone alley at night above an empty chair on the stones.A cloaked bronze figure stands in shadow beside a brick wall as warm lanterns glow down a dark alley at night.Two people in floral crowns stand in profile, silhouetted against the orange glow of a Jāņi bonfire and rows of golden light.A curving stone breakwater leads toward a lighthouse as small figures stand along the pier beneath a fading orange sky.People stand along a stone breakwater beside a red lighthouse as an orange band of light lingers low beneath grey clouds.A sailboat rests on the horizon beneath a banded orange sky as dark water ripples across the foreground.Low sun catches the spray of a small breaking wave as dark water ripples around it near a rock.Two hooded crows perch on a rough rock as one opens its beak toward the other, the sea blurred in the background.A covered boat glides beneath a stone arch bridge toward a sunlit grassy bank while light scatters across the dark water.A waxing half moon hangs in the upper sky as a passenger airplane silhouetted glides just below it, with bright coral-pink afterglow clouds catching the last light below.The setting sun glows massive and orange, perfectly framed behind a bus crossing the bridge, with diagonal cables of the Vanšu tilts cutting across the upper frame against a deep red sky.People in traditional Latvian folk dress, seen from behind, with vibrant floral crowns and long embroidered ribbons trailing down their backs in deep reds, yellows, and pinks.A delicate pale pink rose unfolds its layered petals against a moody dark background.A miniature red fire truck sits on a weathered window ledge, marks of wear scattered across the dark surface.
