This was taken last month. Seen here during civil twilight and only partially eclipsed. Shot w good friend Joshua Crites. Two frames taken 1 second apart and focus stacked for optimal viewing.
From Left edge tiny Comet Catalina, Venus, Mars, Moon Jupiter top Right. If you zoom in 100% there is tiny star on the left of Venus that is Comet Catalina
A very brief break in the weather this afternoon ... made it to one of my 'go to' locations - Boonerah Point on Lake Illawarra, Shellharbour, Wollongong. I'd checked and the sun was due to set pretty much due in line with the pier, didn't quite get the blast of light I was hoping for but a couple of rays made my day .. :-)
The sun rises over the distant peaks of the Lake District lighting up the clouds above in an array of beautiful colours, on a calm morning at the Point of Ayre. Captured with my telephoto lens, the alignment with Winkie Lighthouse only really works for a few short weeks each year. A wonderful way to start the day 👌

I love these trees - at night the dominance of the bright light is hard to adjust to - I took a few different angles and found that flaring and rotten exposure were big issues. Then I thought i'd work with the flare and while I was setting up a man walked through the frame. I thought - yep this shot needs a peron in it, so self timer on and in I walked.
The crescent moon finds a gap in the clouds as a magnificent sunset lights up over the darkly looming heights of the dunes, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. My youngest son requested a trip to the Dunes in a rented RV for his birthday present a couple of years ago when this photo was made. Bless him for having the prescience to get us all here for this moment.
Back to the current day, a number of wildfires are roiling the typically blue Colorado skies with smoke that is almost as pretty at sunset as the clouds you see here. The downside, of course, is the loss of forest, life, and livelihood. Today the humidity finally increased and it began to rain in some small measure. After the latest conflagration leaped over the Continental Divide, perhaps the forest on the eastern side of Rocky Mountain National Park will not burn too severely, but who can be sure. It is troubling to know that years like this are but the harbinger of what is to come if we do not act quickly to reduce our economic dependence on fossil fuels. Forests have a hard time absorbing carbon from the atmosphere when they are incinerated and become a source of carbon themselves.

The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.
This loaded coal bucket has just departed Hobson Yard and is headed south towards Kansas City. Just ahead of the train is the junction with the Nebraska City branch, and the Nebraska State Penitentiary, for those keeping score at home.
About a quarter mile of the main track by the state pen was torn out when a new track alignment was cut in just to the west of here on the Rulo Sub(?), a few years after this photo was taken. The tracks here remain to serve the Arbor Sub(?) branch to Nebraska City. 9-4-1993
I was not overly hopeful of taking a decent shot of the Sturgeon Full Moon (Supermoon) a few days ago. I had pinpointed a good spot on a hill 2.5 miles away, to photograph the National Wallace Monument at 600mm, but not a place I had ever visited before. However as the bright red moon made an appearance we were standing on exactly the right spot.

It's Sliders Sunday!
... and what could be more fun that playing with a pic from my daughter, modeling her mask which I sent off earlier this week to thank her for some hard to find items she had shipped to me via the internet!
She actually would LOVE to be a professional personal shopper, which is something she didn't get from me! So I'm thrilled this is a win win for both of us!

Sunrise against the massive Ship's Prow at 12,000ft, Chasm Lake, Colorado.
Not nearly as exciting or as rare as the alignments at Salk Institute or Scripps Pier but way less stressful !

The wildest card, run the game, run the game

Amazing symmetry and balance as this flock of Canada geese sweep under the waning crescent moon in the morning sky.
The crescent moon rising after sunset at The Bungle Bungles (or more correctly, Purnululu National Park) was the perfect way to cap off a day of exploring the amazing rock formations that are found in this remote part of Australia.
I discovered by accident that over the past few days many of my contacts images have not been appearing in my feed, so apologies to those of you I've missed. I'm trying to back track as I can.
