Alamy POTM August: Summer Mornings


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Are you an early bird who enjoys exploring the world before most people do? The stillness and peacefulness can be a great way to start your morning, while watching the sunrise. 

 

Do you have images which showcase the beauty and golden hues of summer mornings? If you haven't been involved with Alamy Photo of the Month yet, the theme for August is #AlamySummerMornings, so why not join in?

 

From hiking to sitting on the beach we want to see it all. At the beginning of September we'll share our favourites with you and also our customers.

 

Be inspired: https://www.alamy.com/search/lightbox/5736182.html

POTM AUGUST 2024.png

 

Thanks,

Chantelle

Summer mornings are magical and those inspirational images are fantastic 🙂

 

I have a few macro images that might fall into that category!

I've realised I have only a few images taken on summer mornings. Here's just a couple from last February (summer here in Australia). Not sure if they qualify as I'm not sure they stand out as being from summer in particular.

 I thought the major thing here was to show both, morning and summer, in images. I checked my, and found that most of my "morning indeed" images were taken not during summer. Than was curious to check Alamy's "Be inspired" on the top... and was not surprised to find that some of those images were taken not only in March and September but even as far from Summer as January (and in the Northern Hemisphere)... 🙂

 

So, just a few close to our Summer and showing a sort of morning...

Hi Chantelle, When I try to look in the Lightbox in your post all I get is a message saying "You have no items in this Lightbox"???

Hi All,

 

Apologies I've seem to have lost the lightbox, but have now replaced this with a new one. 

 

Thanks,

Thanks, yes, it is different... but still has some images from November and February.

Which are easy to pick in the lightbox as they do not look as Summer 🙂

Some morning photos from me.

 

I missed the Summer in the mornings, so deleted the two photos with snow in them. The rest are summer or summer-ish.

I don't have a lot of summer mornings.  Some winter though.  But I do have these I took early one August morning on my way to a dog show.

 

I love foggy shots.

An interesting twist is that one could argue that our Australian winter (right now) is more representative of what one would expect to see for a summer shot in the Northern hemisphere, as our summer is the rainy season with floods, cyclones, etc.
