The object in the middle of this image, sitting alone within a star-studded cosmos, is a galaxy known as ESO 486-21. ESO 486-21 is a spiral galaxy — albeit with a somewhat irregular and ill-defined structure — located some 30 million light-years from Earth.
The Hubble Space Telescope observed this object while performing a survey — the Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) — of 50 nearby star-forming galaxies. The LEGUS sample was selected to cover a diverse range of galactic morphologies, star formation rates, galaxy masses, and more. Astronomers use such data to understand how stars form and evolve within clusters, and how these processes affect both their home galaxy and the wider universe. ESO 486-21 is an ideal candidate for inclusion in such a survey as it is known to be in the process of forming new stars, which are created when large clouds of gas and dust (seen here in pink) within the galaxy crumple inwards upon themselves.
LEGUS made use of Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The WFC3 obtained detailed observations of the target objects while the ACS obtained what are known as parallel fields — instead of leaving ACS idle, it was instead trained on a small patch of sky just offset from the target field itself, allowing it to gather additional valuable information while the primary target was being observed by WFC3. Parallel fields played an important role in Hubble’s Frontier Fields program, which used the magnifying power of large galaxy clusters (via a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing) to explore objects in the distant universe.

I took this photo in September 1971. A view looking down Station Road, Sowerby Bridge. The late 19th Century Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company coal drops are to the right, with a hopper wagon on top. In the distance, to the left of centre of the photo, can be seen the weighbridge and shed. Sowerby Bridge Market is to the left of this photo. Click on the photo to zoom in.
July 21, 2009 total solar eclipse near third contact as shadow leaves the horizon, giving the horizon an orange glow. The far edge of the shadow is about to reach the Sun as the shadow comes toward us, ending totality. Taken from Northern Cook Islands, at sea on m/s Paul Gauguin. Using 20Da and 28-105mm lens at 60mm at f/5 and ISO100. Mercury, blurred by ship's motion, at top. Photo by Alan Dyer © 2009.
Okay, I need to stop, I know.
Сегодня закончила читать "Любовь во время холеры" Габриэля Гарсии Маркеса. Прекрасная книга, мне будет ее не хватать. Маркес невероятно точно и выразительно передает реалии жизни, со всеми ее нелицеприятными деталями, и в то же время добавляет в повествование что-то нереально, даже фантастичное.
Это самая необычная история любви которую я встречала. О разной любви, которая сопровождает нас всю жизнь. Любовь юности, пылкая и нетерпеливая, зрелая любовь в браке, которая больше похожа на слаженный танец, который можно отточить до совершенства, и о той бессмертной любви, которая переживает все остальное, и растворяет в себе все что было до и будет после нее.
Я под впечатлением, даже не хочется пока ничего нового начинать...

Lola is a promoter at the Huawei stand in the Mall of Emirates.
Lola and my stranger #20 (Erika) were working for the same company. After taking Erika's photo, I just had to ask for Lola's as well. Loved that red curly hair. Even with all the different kinds of people living in Dubai, I had not been able to photograph a red head before. I actually did see a beautiful lady with red hair about a month ago but did not have the guts to go up to her at the time :|
Anyway, thanks Lola for letting me take your photo! :)

Warum zeige ich dieses Bild mit einem Tag Verspätung?
Weil ich doof bin und es gestern vergessen habe....
Ich trug meinen roten Trachtenrock mit der hübschen weißen Rüschenbluse, helle Strümpfe und weiße Pumps.
Es war ein wenig kühl an diesem Morgen, daher war die rote Strickjacke eine gute Idee.
Und um die Sache rund zu machen, der Unterrock...
Ich fand mich damals hübsch, und auch heute noch gefallen mir die Bilder richtig gut.
Why did i show you this picture a day later?
´cause u´m stupid and forgott it yesterday...
Well, i´d wear my red countrystyle skirt, my white ruffled blouse, some tan hose and white heels.
It was a little bit chilly this morning, so i thought my red cardie would be a good idea.
For me my slip is the icing on the cake...
I thought i look nice these days, and still like the pictures...
in may he turned 21 on the base at fort bliss
'just today' he said down to the flask in his fist,
ain't been sober since maybe october of last year.
So I am in Ashbourne, County Meath, with a fellow photographer, and we call in to the recently opened "Ashbourne Photography Centre", where I met my new stranger.
Michael has a fantastic set-up in the new centre. It includes , individual CPU's for photography students, twin enlarger darkroom facility for film development and B&W traditional fine art printing, and a full professional studio set-up.
Michael is standing in front of some of his images, which were part of his Bachelor of Arts Honors Degree in Photographic Studies. Michael's project was called, "Fragments" , a 12 month long research into the aftermath of road fatalities here in Ireland.
Thank you Michael, and the best of luck with the centre.

Gosaikund is located in the Langtang region of Nepal. Langtang area is a popular place to visit among trekkers and pilgrims. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosaikunda)
The Langtang area is supposed to have 108 holy lakes, of which 85 have been identified. For Hindus Gosaikund is the holiest of these lakes.
According to the Puranas, during Samundra manthan 13 items were released before Dhanvantri emerged with the pot of Amrit. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samudra_manthan)
One of the items that came out was a poison called Halahala. Since, there was no place to safely dispose it off, Shiva agreed to hold it in his throat. But the poison was so potent that it turned his neck blue, hence, the name Neelkanth, and started burning his throat. Since there was no water nearby, Shiva threw his Trishul on ground and the place where the Trishul struck three water fountains spurted out. These became the three lakes: Saraswatikund, Bhairavkund and Gosaikund. After drinking water from Gosaikund Shiva disappeared in the kund.
The poison imparted its blue color to the water of Gosaikund and even today the area around the lake is barren.
