A hidden mystery in the woods near Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, WA is the John S. McMillin Mausoleum.
John McMillin - a mason by trade - brought a lot of this skill into the architecture of the mausoleum which you'd imagine was plucked from some sort fantasy novel/mythical tale.
Beneath the vaulted spine of the Milky Way, the Earth exhales in silence. Water becomes a mirror, trees become witnesses, and the night opens a corridor where gravity feels lighter. This place is not asleep; it is listening. Every reflection binds soil to starlight, reminding us that our footsteps belong to something older and vastly larger than memory. Here, the human gaze pauses, suspended between what we are and what we once were made of.
This bridge does not lead away from us—it returns us to origin. Beyond the universe as we name it, beyond fear and scale, the cosmos leans inward and answers. The sky speaks in dust and fire, and the land responds in shadow and breath. In this fragile alignment, life on Earth and life beyond cease to be separate ideas; they become a single, continuous pulse, crossing quietly from one world into another.
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.
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 .. :-)
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
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 👌

In order to create an authentically powerful life, you need to align your personality with your soul. ~ GZ and there it was..few years later and the alignment has happened in front of my eyes. Just like that..
in the quiet of winter, the vineyard at pollenca rests. the bare vines line up in disciplined rows, stretching towards the steadfast tramuntana mountains that stand guard in the distance. the starkness of the leafless vines against the soil speaks of the season's restful pause, a time for rejuvenation before the burst of new life. the silhouette of wooden stakes and wire frames cast a graphic pattern upon the land, a natural grid that waits patiently for the return of spring. this monochromatic landscape, with its subtle textures and the promise of growth, captures the serene beauty of the dormant season, a tranquil prelude to the abundance that follows.
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.
I know I should have waited a few more minutes for the shadow to have been in alignment with the bridge, but it was busy, I was getting frazzled by the bustle, and my wife wanted to go.
But! I got to walk the road that Remco Evenepoel won his Olympic medal on!

Low Fog Sunset at Golden Gate Bridge, taken from small airplane.
The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.

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.
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.
