Caldwell 22, also cataloged as NGC 7662 and nicknamed the Snowball Nebula or Blue Snowball Nebula, is a planetary nebula located about 2,500 light-years from Earth. Nebulae like these represent a stage in evolution that stars like our Sun undergo when they run out of fuel. Stars are nuclear furnaces that spend most of their lives fusing hydrogen into helium. Massive stars have fiery fates, exploding as supernovae, but medium-mass stars like the Sun swell to become red giants as they exhaust their fuel.
The process begins when, after billions of years of nuclear fusion, the star starts to shut down. Gravity (no longer balanced by the outward pressure created by nuclear fusion) compresses the stellar core. The star’s outer layers of gas puff away into space, creating a planetary nebula (so named because these objects often resemble planetary orbs when viewed through a small telescope). At the center lie the remains of the original star’s compressed core, a small white dwarf. One day the Sun will meet a similar fate, but it has enough fuel to last another 6 billion years or so.
This image was taken using Hubble’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 in 2000. Astronomers compared this image to earlier Hubble images of Caldwell 22 to study how the nebula expanded and changed.
Caldwell 22 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1784. It is located in the constellation Andromeda and has a magnitude of 8.3. The nebula is well placed for observing in autumn night skies from the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, look for it low in northern skies in the spring. The nebula can be viewed in telescopes of all sizes, but it might be mistaken for a star at low magnification. Higher magnifications will better distinguish the nebula. A medium-sized telescope shows Caldwell 22 well, but the nebula’s central star will remain hidden from all but the largest telescopes.

Day 22 of #AllanAugust with Elwin, my Elven Allan. I’ve been wanting to do an elf custom, green haired custom and freckled Allan custom for literally years, so this was three birds, one stone kind of deal.
His freckles were done with a toothbrush flicking on brown paint, and his hair is painted but the rest of him was layers and layers of pencils, pastels and a LOT of MSC.
His ears are attached with wire and epoxy putty, and yes, he’s anatomically correct ;)
Hoy presento mi proyecto Nº 22. Es feriado, el dia esta lindo. Esta fotografía la saque en un parque de mi pueblo. Caminando me di cuenta de esa textua que tenia el borde del camino. Espero que les guste. Saludos.
Today I present my project No. 22. It's a holiday, the day is nice. This photograph her out in a park in my town. Walking that I realized that I had the textual side of the road. I hope you like it. Greetings.
My sweetheart birthday..

This is another firearm that technically belongs to my uncle but may very well be mine soon.
This .22 pistol is made by High Standard Mfg. out of Connecticut and is the "Sport King" model with a 10-round magazine. The company went out of business in 1984, I believe. They are supposed to be a quality weapon with good accuracy. It originally belonged to my cousin and went to my uncle when my cousin died (the same cousin who made my knife).
Apparently, my uncle did not worry too much about gun care as this was maybe the dirtiest weapon I have ever cleaned. It is dirty in the photo; I just spent over two hours taking it apart and cleaning and lubricating it. It is ready to shoot, but I'm going to wait until we are out of triple-digit heat before I go out to shoot.
I guess it's needless to say that I have no acceptance for violence. This picture is a symbol and should not be taken literal. I can be a fire starter sometimes, but it tends to be in a productive way, taking initiative ;)

The pretty lies, the ugly truth

El tranvía 22, Oporto
Una original manera de recorrer el centro de la ciudad de Oporto es a bordo de uno de los tranvías más pintorescos, el tranvía nº 22.
Actualmente existen 3 líneas de tranvía en la ciudad con una función meramente turística, como el nº 1 que se toma en la Ribeira con destino a Foz. Su recorrido transcurre paralelo al río Douro y finaliza prácticamente en la desembocadura del mismo con una longitud de 5 kms. Sin embargo una opción más corta y turística es el tranvía nº 22 que realiza un recorrido circular por el centro de Oporto. Por el módico precio de 2,5 euros podemos subir en la Rua de Carmo donde inicia su recorrido y llegar hasta Batalha para regresar al punto de partida por un itinerario diferente. Hay que aclarar que este paseo puede hacerse perfectamente a pie aunque algunas de las calles son muy empinadas como la Rua 21 de Janeiro pero se trata de una buena opción para los que van con niños o para descansar tras un largo día y es muy pintoresco.

V-22 Osprey
The V-22 Osprey is a multi-mission, military, tiltrotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. It is designed to perform missions like a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft. The V-22 was developed and is manufactured by Bell Helicopter, in partnership with Boeing Rotorcraft Systems. The initial operators are the United States Marine Corps and Air Force.

This is an old single-shot breech loading .22 pistol. It is made by J. Stevens and has been around a while. It has a double-cock mechanism and what looks like brass sights.
This gun belonged to my uncle, and I am not sure where he got it.
Working from a new computer and different photo software here, so this is somewhat of an experiment.
Another hike in the books for this season. This one was called Lake 22, just off of Mountain Loop Highway here in Washington. Not too bad of a hike. All the way up you get to see cool waterfalls and flowing water from the runoff of the ultimate destination, the lake itself.
So clear, so clean, so green. The water was beautiful. The fog was coming and going and we were worried that we wouldn't be able to see the lake at all once we arrived (that's what happened to my friend the last time he went). The weather was on our side this time though. The fog hung around for some cool shots though.
