IC 405, altro nome caratteristico è Flaming Star Nebula, è una nebulosa diffusa visibile nella costellazione dell'Auriga, dista circa 1.630 anni luce. IC 405 brilla per la radiazione ricevuta da AE Aurigae, che ionizza i suoi gas e le conferisce un colore rosso, le chiazze blu sono invece dovute alla riflessione della luce blu della stella sulle polveri oscure.

The picture was taken on 27 February 2016.
I was in Eaton Centre, Toronto’s major downtown mall which is, curiously enough, still named after a store which has not been part of the mall for many years. I was invited to take part in a product demonstration and had a few minutes so I agreed – especially since it involved coffee. It was to introduce a new coffee-making system by Nespresso. It is Nestle’s entry into the premium coffee market. (www.nespresso.com/ca/en/home)
Marla introduced herself and gave me a guided tour through the products and helped me select the brew that would best suit my preferences. Because I’d already had a couple of cups of coffee and was doing my photo project, I selected the brew that was half coffee and half decaf. (I hate having shaky hands when taking photos.) Marla was very friendly and good at her job as she demonstrated the machine and fresh-brewed a cup of coffee which really did taste delicious.
At the end of the demonstration Marla asked if I had any questions. I suddenly remembered the camera around my neck and noted the light coming down into the mall from the atrium into Marla’s beautiful eyes. “Well, I do have a question but it’s not about coffee. I’m doing a Flickr photo project and I just realized what a great subject you would be for a portrait. Would you let me photograph you?” “Right here? Right now?” “Yes” I replied. “I don’t want to get you in trouble so if you can’t, just say so.” “Well” she said, “I guess if it’s real quick there wouldn’t be any harm.” I just asked her to take one step back against the display booth wall and popped off two frames and left it at that for fear of getting her reprimanded. I thanked her for the delicious cup of coffee and as I was leaving, she was inviting the next patron into the world of Nespresso coffee-making.
Thank you Marla for the delicious cup of coffee and for participating in 100 Strangers. You are Stranger #405 in Round 5 of my project.
Feel free, Marla, to get in touch if you'd like a copy of your photo.
