Der Gotthardpass war seit dem Mittelalter bis zum Bau der Eisenbahn- und Autobahn-Tunnels eine der wichtigen Nord-Süd-Verbindungen über die Alpen. Als Gotthardachse wird die auch heute noch europäisch bedeutende Verkehrsachse bezeichnet, die in Nord-Süd-Richtung über das Gotthardmassiv oder unter ihm hindurch führt. Wikipedia
Lullaby skies
Another long and hard day at the office. Just like millions of other people, we're now homeward-bound only to find ourselves stuck in traffic. But with a sight like this in the evening skies, I'd gladly sit in traffic for days....so mesmerising, so soothing, it's almost putting me to sleep.
SH2-263 is a red emission nebula in the constellation of Orion - famous for its spectacular nebulae. SH2-263 is a rather modest nebula but is associated with a blue reflection nebula which makes the image rather nice.
This is an integration of 20 hours of data shot on a QHY183C OSC camera with a William Optics Zenithstar 103 scope. 10 hours of data was taken with no filter to capture the reflection nebula and another 10 with an Optolong L-eXtreme filter for the Ha emissions. All post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.
The 263 used to be a TE (Enviro 400) fest. But now VWH's and VMH's are becoming increasingly common. Here's one of the former at Archway Station.

special thanks to my mom for holding a leaf in front of part of my camera!

I started shooting this manhole cover, and was getting closer and closer to capture the details when I came across this acorn.
Nature versus the hand of man.
Steps: 85.
The huge Gay Pride Flag (18 feet long) flies boldly and proudly in the Castro District in San Francisco.
In case you did not know, the rainbow flag colors stand for:
Red = life
Orange = healing
Yellow = sun
Green = nature
Indigo Blue = harmony
Violet = spirit.
I was hoping you would be waiting for me on my stoop when I came home, but I guess those last words we said were just too much. SK~
Hoje parei pra pensar o quanto a minha vida mudou, o quanto o mundo girou, quantas pessoas entraram e saíram da minha vida. Eu cresci, não da melhor forma mas melhorei em algumas coisas, piorei em outras, hoje eu sou o que sou por causa das coisas que me aconteceram, por causa das minhas atitudes, sou o que sou porque eu deveria ser assim.
This was my sisters clotted cream cheesecake. I would have uploaded a photo of my chocolate brownie sundae but it wasn't so photogenic...it did taste amazing though!

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well that, for all they care, I can go to hell, But the earth indifference is the least we have to dread from man and beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn with a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am of stars that do not give a damn, I cannot, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day.
Were the stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty sky, and feel its total dark sublime, though this might take me a little time.
-W.H. Auden
