Alpenglow on the Mt. Baker from Deming, WA. This is what I see on my commute to work. Baker is a live volcano. We can occasionally see a plume of steam rising from a spot just to the right of the peak.
Mt. Baker: 9,355 feet or 2,851 meters in elevation. The two black buttes to the right of the dome erupted leaving craters. The last eruption was about 700,000 years ago. In 1975 there was an event that led to melting glaciers and snow, but did not result in magma reaching the surface. That magma has been slowly cooling since then.

♫ I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies so blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world ♫

Big panorama from Freshwater Bay yesterday on the day the big swell known as Hercules arrived on the south coast and lots of people came out to enjoy the sights and take photos.
This one was timed to show a big wave crashing into the sea wall in front of the Albion hotel.
I’ve posted a dozen or so here on flickr, but there are 44 on my photo-blog at
isleofwightpictures.com/big-seas-freshwater-bay/
so if you like things that go splash and people running away from them you might want to take a look!

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.
The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.
Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.
Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
Yesterday we had Magnus Krenty's autocycle/motorcycle (IH 54) outside O'Doherty's Hotel at Ardmalin in Co. Donegal. Today, we've been chauffeur-driven up around the coast to Burtonport. Outside O'Donnell's Hotel we find JI 54 waiting for us. And very far removed from the infernal combustion engine, that looks like a very fine lace collar on the window looker outer (technical term)...

♫ Heaven
I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek ♫

On our walk through the Roxborough State Park, Colorado, United States.
The state park is known for dramatic red sandstone formations. Located in Douglas County 25 miles (40 km) south of Denver, Colorado, the 3,339-acre (13.51 km2) park was established in 1975. In 1980 it was recognized as a National Natural Landmark because of the number of ecological systems and geological formations. It is also a State Historic Site and National Cultural District because of the number of archaeological sites.
Roxborough State Park is a designated Colorado Natural Area and National Natural Landmark for its 300 million year old red sandstone Fountain Formation that tilt at a 60 degree angle. The park includes great examples of exposed Precambrian to Late Mesozoic hogback, monolithic and spire formations from the Permian, Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous age. Carpenter Peak's exposed granite is from Precambrian era.
The park consists of forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, prairie land, and woodlands that support many forms of wildlife. There are 145 bird, over 50 butterfly and moth, and 11 amphibian and reptile species. Mammals commonly found in the park include black bear, coyote, deer, elk, fox, mountain lion, prairie dog, and rabbit. Sources of water include Little Willow Creek, Willow Creek and Mill Gulch. Elevations range from 5,900 to 7,280 feet (1,800 to 2,220 m).
There are six hiking trails in Roxborough State Park, a network of easy to moderate trails that also connect to Douglas County trail system, Pike National Forest and Waterton Canyon trails. (Wikipedia)

Octubre es el mes dedicado al cáncer de seno, por eso un gran número de empresas y personas se han unido para luchar de distintas formas y crear conciencia sobre esta agresiva enfermedad..
El Mes de Sensibilización sobre el Cáncer de Mama, que se celebra en todo el mundo cada mes de octubre, contribuye a aumentar la atención y el apoyo prestados a la sensibilización, la detección precoz, el tratamiento y los cuidados paliativos.
La prevención del cáncer mamario se basa en un diagnóstico temprano que permita efectuar un tratamiento adecuado en el momento inicial de la enfermedad. Los dos aliados son el auto-exámen de mamas y el control ginecológico sistemático

Strokkur (Icelandic for "churn") is a fountain geyser in the geothermal area beside the HvĂtá River in Iceland in the southwest part of the country, east of ReykjavĂk. It is one of Iceland's most famous geysers, erupting about every 4–8 minutes 15 – 20 m high, sometimes up to 40 m high.
Light painting in Bohinj Lake, whilst a lightning storms plays across the surrounding peaks of the Triglav National Park. The white balance is as shot - the lightning picking out the distant peaks in a curious purple glow.
Wading out to the little rocky island to light paint, whilst the thunder and lightning bounced around the surrounding hills, was a slightly nervous endeavour, but worth it for the result. I shot a few goat versions first, which I might post, then just one of the girl. Despite the break in her arm, it seemed so clean that with the storm rolling down the slopes into the valley I thought I'd call it a day.
It's a while since I've done any light painting, as the whole process just takes too long to fit around busy work loads. Using a sock as a diffuser, however, has made the process much less haphazard, and so our recent holiday gave me a chance to get back into it. Without a sock (or other diffuser) on your flashlight/torch, lens flare is a real threat, wiping out maybe 2 in 3 shots. For this shot, I'd also put the flashlight in a plastic bag. The distance is very forgiving with the lines.
If you'd like to see some of my older light paintings, just click here. There are all created in camera by drawing lines free hand with a torch/flashlight.
After about ten attempted uploads, interrupted by sporadic #badpanda messages, the file is loaded, but without EXIF data. [Update - this appears to have fixed itself].
Maybe I should have dropped the ISO - the 5D Mkiii creates some disruptive coloured noise on long exposures at 400, which I don't see at lower sensitivities - but at over ten minutes a shot, the lightning was just too uncontrolled. A sudden flurry of strikes and the sky overexposed, so smaller time windows were needed. Although the actual forks of lightning aren't especially visible, they have the neat effect of freezing the sky mostly in place.
Hope everyone is having a superb weekend. Catching up now.
Haven't been around these parts much lately, but managed a couple of images in the meantime.

The Schönburg is a castle above the medieval town of Oberwesel in the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Schönburg Castle was first mentioned in history between the years 911 and 1166.
From the 12th century, the Dukes of Schönburg ruled over the town of Oberwesel and had also the right to levy customs on the Rhine river. The most famous was Friedrich von Schönburg - a much-feared man known as “Marshall Schomberg” - who in the 17th century served as a colonel and as a general under the King of France in France and Portugal and later also for the Prussians and for William Prince of Orange in England.
The Schönburg line died out with the last heir, the son of Friedrich of Schönburg.
The castle was burned down in 1689 by French soldiers during the Palatinate wars.
Schönburg castle remained in ruins for 200 years until it was acquired by the German-American Rhinelander family who bought the castle from the town of Oberwesel in the late 19th century, and restored it.
The town council of Oberwesel acquired the castle back from the Rhinelander family in 1950.
Since 1957 the HĂĽttl family have been living at the castle on a long-term lease; they operate a successful hotel and restaurant there. (Wikipedia)

Mais uma foto tirada na manhĂŁ do ultimo sabado quando subi a trilha do Morro Dois IrmĂŁos, esta foto foi tirada um pouco mais abaixo do topo e de onde foi tirada a foto anterior, como falei para alguma pessoas, esta trilha na minha opinĂŁo Ă© um pouco mais pesada que a trilha da Pedra Bonita, ambos os caminhos para mim foram tranquilos, mas isto depende muito da disposição fĂsica de cada um, quem sĂł anda de carro e nĂŁo esta acostumado a fazer trilhas pode sentir dificuldades, mas eu acredito que mesmo essas pessoas podem subir com tranquilidade se forem no seu ritmo.
* Na primeira foto da sequencia, mostra o ponto onde foia minha primeira parada de 15 minutos de descanso, para ter uma ideia o senhor que aparece na foto devia ter cerca de 70 anos e me ultrapassou no meio da trilha, chegando la em cima na minha frente.

Panorama view out of 5 single shots.
Directly north of Boppard, the Rhine takes its greatest bend. This bow is called the Bopparder Hamm. The best known lookout point over this bow in the Rhine is the Vierseenblick, or “Four-Lake View”. This vista gets its name from the way in which the Rhine can be seen from here, or rather the way in which it cannot be seen: hills block out most of the view of the river itself so that visitors can only see four apparently separate patches of water, rather like four lakes. These are all actually parts of the Rhine; there are no lakes to be seen. The Vierseenblick can be reached by chairlift.
Panorama view of 5 single shots.
Boppard lies on the upper Middle Rhine, often known as the Rhine Gorge. This characteristic narrow form of valley arose from downward erosion of the Rhine’s riverbed. Since 2002, the Gorge has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 17 km stretch of the Rhine forms the town’s eastern limit. (Wikipedia)

The Hondsbossche Zeewering is one of the highest dykes in the world dikes. This gigantic dike connects the dunes between Kamperduin and Petten and protects the Zijper Polder against water. This Polder is over 400 years old and is the oldest part of the Netherlands which is drained. Over the dike, which is nearly 6 km long, you can enjoy hiking, cycling or running next to the North Sea. Petten could have been founded in 739. The name refers to the three wells Dutch: putten which are located there. There was already a mention of a sand dike in 1388 between Petten and Callantsoog. In the St. Elizabeth's flood in 1421, Petten was entirely washed away, and the dunes were damaged. It ranks 10th in the list of top ten worst floods in history. A number of villages were swallowed by the flood and were lost, causing between 2,000 and 10,000 casualties. The dike breaks and floods caused widespread devastation in Zeeland and Holland. An additional sleeper dike was built behind the dunes in 1432 and from 1506 active coastal defense took place. Even so, more than 100 houses were washed away in 1625, plus the church of Petten. The construction of the Hondsbossche zeewering began in 1793. Strengthening the dike using sand seems to be the best option and can count on a lot of support because in this way a lovely beach will be created with new possibilities for nature, recreation and water sports. Experts in the field of coastal protection confirm that spraying sand offers many benefits in the long term as well. The bike path along the coast is very much appreciated by the locals and tourists. North and south of the Hondsbossche Zeewering are many kilometers of bike paths, through the beautiful dunes, with its forests, sand dunes and heaths.
The embankment of the Hondsbossche Zeewering - dyke stands between the wind and the North Sea, and agricultural communities of Petten on the other side. The dyke was build after the the St. Elizabeth's flood in 1421. Petten was entirely washed away, and the dunes were damaged. Now it's is one of the highest dykes in the world dikes and a great place to enjoy hiking, cycling or running.
De Hondsbossche Zeewering is Ă©Ă©n van de hoogste dijken ter wereld. Deze gigantische dijk verbindt de duinen tussen Kamperduin en Petten en beschermd de Zijper Polder tegen het water. Deze Polder is meer dan 400 jaar oud en is daarmee het oudste stukje Nederland wat is drooggelegd. Over de dijk, die bijna 6 km lang is, kan men heerlijk wandelen, fietsen of hardlopen, direct aan de Noordzee. Dit fietspad langs de kust wordt zeer gewaardeerd door recreanten en toeristen. De provincie is daarin tegemoet gekomen aan de wens van bewoners. Ten noorden en zuiden van de Hondsbossche Zeewering liggen vele kilometers fietspaden, dwars door de schone duinen, met zijn bossen, zandverstuivingen en heidevelden. Bij de St. Elisabethsvloed van 1421 werden de duinen tussen Kamperduin en Petten weggeslagen. Na de storm werd er tussen de twee plaatsen een dijk aangelegd, de Hondsbossche Zeewering. Vermoedelijk werd de ramp veroorzaakt door een bijzonder zware noordwesterstorm, gevolgd door een zeer hoge stormvloed. Van springvloed zoals bij de Watersnood van 1953 was toen geen sprake, maar het natte weer was er de oorzaak van dat het opperwater afkomstig van de rivieren nog zeer hoog stond. De dijkdoorbraken en overstromingen richtten in Zeeland en Holland grote verwoestingen aan. Het aantal slachtoffers is in de loop van de tijd door mythevorming opgelopen tot 100.000. Schattingen geven aan dat mogelijk tussen tweeduizend en tienduizen mensen de dood vonden. Net als vele andere dorpen aan de Noord-Hollandse kust, is ook Petten herhaaldelijk landinwaarts herbouwd. De inwoners van Petten leefden van de visserij, landbouw en strandvonderij. In het algemeen was het leven in het oude Petten redelijk welvarend. De Hondsbossche Zeewering vormt Ă©Ă©n geheel met de veel kortere Pettemer Zeewering. Vlak langs de dijk ligt het vogelreservaat De Putten. Dit gebied is een geliefde broed- en overnachtingsplaats voor verschillende vogelsoorten. Om die reden is het gebied dan ook niet vrij toegankelijk. In het domein liggen ondiepe vijvertjes, die zijn ontstaan door het afgraven van grond ten behoeve van herstellingen aan de Hondsbossche Zeewering.

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.
This was shot over 3 or 4 nights during June-July. I only decided to make a mosaic after shooting the Lagoon and Trifid nebs and thinking it would be pretty awesome to show the whole area off as there is so much going on! Unfortunately, with the spur of the moment decision to take this on, i was left with no time to complete it before the Milky Way sank out of reach. I intended to make this a 15 panel mosaic but only managed 4! But i will be better prepared next year :)
This was a hard one to process. Its my first long exposure astro mosaic so i struggled with trying to make everything blend together seamlessly. Each panel being shot on a different night at different temperatures didn't help either. Especially one panel which i only managed 45 minutes on due to cloud ruining a lot of the frames. I had to stretch it first and then bring the rest of them up to the same point. If i had managed the same amount of exposure time on each one, i could of probably stretched a bit further!
Exposure Details:
3 panels contains 1 hour 20 minutes worth of 120 second exposures, the other 44 minutes worth, f3.2, ISO 800, calibration frames, 200mm

♫ Manhã, tão bonita manhã, na vida, uma nova canção
Cantando sĂł teus olhos, teu riso, tuas mĂŁos
Pois há de haver um dia, em que virás!!!
Das cordas do meu violĂŁo, que sĂł teu amor procurou
Vem uma voz, falar dos beijos perdidos,nos lábios teus
Canta o meu coração, Alegria voltou
TĂŁo feliz a manhĂŁ
Deste amor ♫
Deixo com vocês André Rieu com essa antiga e bela canção com o desejo para as Pessoas de Boa Vontade, uma semana ricamente abençoada, livre do mal, repleta de saúde, alegrias, paz e prosperidade.
