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 :-)
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.
Sur le coup, j’ai cru survoler Manhattan …
Japan Kyoto : The cemetery next to Kiomizu-dera
京都:清水寺の隣の墓地
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/
The bright star on the lower left is actually the planet Saturn. The middle star is Altair and the top right star is Vega. The line up in a perfect diagonal line above the Temple of the Sun. This images is full of natural wonders. Stars, Planets, Milky Way galaxy, air glow, and our home.
Alignment in the Meudon Observatory Park in Ile de France

... somehow these all got aligned there on my desk at work ... and had my camera around for a ... snap :)

Crescent Tree Revisited 🌙 let me tell you a story about this tree
.
.
As most of you know I’m a big fan of shooting moon alignments, especially with trees. I had my eye on this tree for a few years but weather and clouds continually skunked my plans
.
.
This tree only aligned with crescent moonset one day out of the year, so if I missed due to clouds, I had to wait a full year to get another crack at it
.
.
Finally, a year ago, everything aligned and I was ready for it. The shoot turned into one of my most memorable, as a big bull even showed up for a few minutes to add to the uniqueness of the opportunity
.
.
As the moon approached the horizon line I noticed it would fit perfectly under the fractal tree canopy, so I repositioned my framing slightly and was at the ready. Bingo
.
.
One month after I took these shots, California got hit by one of the gnarliest winter wind storms in recent memory and this tree was blown down… gone forever
.
.
I was very lucky to share this unique moment with this legendary oak during the very end of its long life
.
.
Have a great day

Recomiendo hacer doble click sobre la imagen y ver en grande.
I recommend see in larger clicking double on the image.
This image came together really nicely - there is a flow from bottom right to top left - starting with the small pebble, supporting the bigger rock, the flow of rocks leads to water flowing out to see, the silhoutte of the Surfer heading out towards the breaking wave - moody skies, this has to be one of my favourite images taken so far this year.
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.
