Rising moon near closing five days ago. Hasn't been visible since due to heavy rains. Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!
A short walk near Hebden Bridge which starts at 'PECKET WELL', where there is a stone War Memorial...
I discovered a couple of years ago that it looks as though it is in 'alignment' with Heptonstall Church (middle) and Stoodley Pike Monument (far distance), the latter of which was re-built to celebrate the end of the Napoleonic wars in Europe 1815.
(Ironically I took this picc on the eve of the Summer solstice too, but am unaware of any 'connection' - perhaps just 'happenstance' :-)
Walking Pal, John, sidles past foxgloves and nettles... We didn't walk the whole distance by any means (only about 5 miles) and my other (walking) Pal, Dennis was close behind (HWW :-)
The sites at Carnac form the largest collection of megalithic stones in the world. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the early Celtic people of Brittany. The alignments are believed to be related to astronomical observations at the solstices. This image is of an impressive upright among several smaller stones of the Ménec alignment.
Hope you have a lovely weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind support.

Bits of very cheap jewellery, you align these and put a wire through them. One would be 1 inch long. I placed it on pink paper.
This alignment of arches and chapels, along the aisle of the church of Saint Bavo, shows the harmony and beauty of Gothic art. It will also close this small series and I we’ll have to choose the next theme to share!

Ancient people respected the sun. In fact they worshipped it as the source of life. So in many places observatories were set up to track the movements of the sun. Stonehenge is quite possibly such a place.
This photograph wasn't planned, but as soon as I saw what was happening I set up the tripod to capture the sun in perfect alignment.
* REMEMBERING JOHN OLSEN (1928-2023)
Today we learned that Australia's greatest living artist is alive no more. John Olsen has died at the age of 95. The grand old man of Australian painting left a huge legacy, and I for one would like to pay him a tribute (painters, even abstract ones, have always influenced me more than photographers). Several years ago I posted a photograph of his 1964 painting "Me the Gardener" in the QVMAG Collection. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/49616768471/in/album-72...
He was most definitely the last of a great generation of Modernists that included Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd and Margaret Olley. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/artists/olsen-john/

Tootsie Roll Lollipop, Cherry Flavor. UR Amazing!
Following up on the Birthday present I started last year on Facebook, I've shot a new lollipop to give away. Marybeth came home with them from school and this one caught my eye, I really thought the flavor was something new like cotton candy or pink lemonade, I was surprised to find out it was good old cherry!
Last year I struggled like crazy to get the focus stack to work and I've come to the conclusion that the distortion introduced by the Nikon 55mm caused the problem. Further research will be required to determine if the issue was inherent in the lens or the fact that I had reached the limitations of focus stacking with a 55mm lens. I shot this with the Voigtlander 125mm and processed the 54 image stack with Helicon stacking software. OK I admit it, a bit excessive at f/8 but I'm still learning and more layers SHOULD produce a better image. I'm very impressed with the working of the Helicon software (FINALLY) which seemed to work better than my horrible trials I conducted last year. The stack came out just perfect, I'm amazed at the subject edge definition. It's also cool to watch the alignment and stacking take place within the application and displayed on the computer screen.
So, if by chance it's your birthday, I'm ahead of the game - Happy Birthday!
The original image (with green background) was shot with the VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR @ f/8, 54 Layer Focus Stack. Helicon (B,R8,S4).
And Thank You Lenebem-Anna for use of the textures.

LTWI661 with BNSF 1616 and 112 round the horseshoe between Bristol and Andover as they coast off the backside of the Coteau des Prairies. Both units are in heavy dynos, keeping their short but fat train of 35 rock loads and 2 tanks in check as they descend the roughly 14-mile long half-% grade. This horseshoe is a line change, one of many the Appleton Sub still bears witness to this day. Although a little less obvious than others on the plateau, there were in fact two other routes down to Andover, both closely followed the present day alignment of US-12. The newer of the two was used as the westbound main until it was lifted in 1959. As for the loop line, while it is mostly obscured by the surrounding hills, watching trains tackle this grade is still an impressive sight to behold.
The moon sets on the Christmas Star, took a few shots to get the right alignment on this. The star is atop a distant cell phone tower and the moon aligns with it.
