"For beautiful eyes,
look for the good in others;
for beautiful lips,
speak only words of kindness;
and for poise,
walk with the knowledge
that you are never alone. "

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!
This shot focuses on a quiet, fleeting intersection of two butterflies on a bloom.
In monochrome, the intricate, patterned details of their wings become graphic elements, standing out sharply against the deep, dark background.
It reminds me that even in a world obsessed with structural noise and industrial decay, there exists this fragile, rhythmic elegance that moves at a completely different speed.
Cool Springs, Arizona.
Route 66 (Alignment 1926-1952) - Oatman Rd - Co Hwy 10.
Cool Springs Camp & Station (1926).
It was originally a Mobilgas Station with cafe and eight tourist cabins. A conflagration has completely destroyed the station in 1966. Partially rebuilt and featured in the 1991 film Universal Soldier, the station is then returned in a condition to ruins during the filming. Cool Springs Camp & Station is fully restored since 2004.

The night sky provides fascinating patterns and colours. The lighthouse at Grosnez, Jersey is situated in the foreground.
Some water drop photography. This shot was quite unusual, all in a row but the bottom drop was a strange shape!
Almost perfect alignment and symmetry. There are about 25 of those up-squirts in the fountain.
Civic Center, Santa Clara, California.
Obviously Paddy realsies that he should be going with the 'flow' of the strata. Behind looking back at the ridgeline we'd just traversed
Three of my favorite shots from the planetary alignment on February 20, 2015. Pigeon Point Lighthouse is in the foreground. The advancing fog bank caused the composition to change, with the planets and moon ducking in and out of sight. Finally, it swallowed them all.

An architectural snippet of the Zuidas. A place that is evolving into Amsterdam's prime location for international businesses and modern homes - Zuidas, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Another lovely "summer" day in Spring!
Having got excited with my discovery of sunspots revealing themselves when the sun is on the murky horizon in my previous photo in this gallery, I went for a similar shot for this alignment on the Shard.
Notice there is one large sunspot with a surrounding penumbra in the top left of the sun. There's 3-4 smaller one opposite corner too.
Sunspots are cooler regions of the sun's photosphere by a thousand degrees so that temperature difference gives the sunspot a dark appearance.

One interesting thing about this period (autumn) is that the moon is no longer setting in the west like during the month of June, no, our satellite sets exactly halfway between south and west.
On 28.10.14 this halfway was pretty much mathematically perfect, the moon (phase 36%) was setting south-west shortly after dusk, allowing to observe its slow passage behind the north face of Monviso (3.842 m) exactly during the sunset time.
Here you can see the dorsal of the mountain slightly exposed to the west that takes fire at sunset. As happened during my first visit the previous week, again a crystal clear sky allowed the slanting rays of the setting sun to express themselves in full power, without blocks, deviations or attenuations, that the presence of clouds could generate.
Within a few hours the moon will fall behind the horizon, right between Punta Roma and Punta Udine, allowing the night to get really dark.
This photo, observed at the original high-resolution, allows to see clearly both the crosses on the summit of Monviso and on its secondary peak: the Viso di Vallanta (it's the most geometrically marked part of the ridge, right under the moon) for its form also known as Dado di Viso... in italian "dado" means nut/dice.

I usually try to line up the moon and Wisconsin's capitol from across Lake Mendota or Monona but a few weeks ago I decided to change it up a bit. I walked to the top of a parking garage near State St and hoped that my calculations for alignment would pan out. They did and I couldn't be happier. The hardest part was finding a proper exposure to balance out the light of the rapidly brightening moon and the dome of the capitol. I've found that the best time to shoot is just after sunset when there is still an ambient glow from the setting sun, helping to balance the two subjects.
Starry night sky and Milky Way over Jackson Lake and the Tetons, Grand Teton National Park. The mountain peak to the right of the Milky Way is the Grand Teton. The largest mountain is Mount Moran. The large star to the left of the Grand Teton is Antares. The large star above Mount Moran is Arcturus. This photo was taken near midnight. The glow to the bottom left of the Milky Way is light pollution from the town of Jackson, WY, about 25 miles away. The glow over the Teton Range is light pollution from the Idaho Falls, ID metro area, about 75 miles away. For prints of this image, go to www.NightScapePrints.com/

🇫🇷 L'utilisation du mode panorama , de trop près réserve parfois des surprises, comme l'alignement en arc de cercle du panorama précédent.
Le collage ici de clichés en mode portrait , tente de redonner l'aspect d'une partie de cet angle de la place
🇬🇧 Using panorama mode too closely can sometimes lead to surprises, such as the arched alignment of the previous panorama.
The collage of portrait shots here attempts to restore the appearance of part of this corner of the square.
🇩🇪 Wenn man den Panoramamodus aus zu großer Nähe verwendet, kann es zu Überraschungen kommen, wie z. B. die bogenförmige Ausrichtung des vorherigen Panoramas.
Die hier gezeigte Collage aus Hochformataufnahmen versucht, das Aussehen eines Teils dieser Ecke des Platzes wiederherzustellen.
🇪🇸 Utilizar el modo panorámico con demasiada aproximación a veces puede dar lugar a sorpresas, como la alineación circular de la panorámica anterior.
El collage aquí de tomas realizadas en modo retrato intenta restaurar la apariencia de parte de esta esquina del cuadrado.
🇮🇹 L'uso della modalità panorama troppo ravvicinato può talvolta portare a sorprese, come l'allineamento circolare del panorama precedente.
Il collage di scatti realizzati in modalità ritratto cerca di ripristinare l'aspetto di parte di questo angolo della piazza.
I took advantage of the New Moon and clear skies, and drove out to Coleyville (southwest of Brisbane) last night for some Milky Way photography. These are panoramas taken with my EOS R and Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens.
Last night was amazingly clear showing the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn in alignment high up in the night sky. This is a montage of 2 photos - one of the moon which was very bright and the 2 planets in the correct positions as seen last night.
Khawa Karpo ཁ་བ་དཀར་པོ་། 6740m
Across the gorge as you approach Dechen from Tsakhalho and Hongsan, there are truly dramatic views of the Kawa Karpo glaciers. The astonishing main glacier of Mount5 Kawa Karpo deceives the eye, appearing to plunge downwards almost to the level of the Dza chu རྫ་ཆུ་ (Mekong) in the gorge below. This mighty watershed range has 13 snow peaks forming a north-south alignment.
Among them, Mount Kawa Karpo, the highest, is 6740m, and to its north is Mount Dradul Wangchuk (6379m ). Immediately south of Kawa Karpo, there is a glacial protuberance known as Phakpa Neten Chudruk, and to its south Mount Pawo Pamo (6000 m),followed in succession by the spectacular five-peaked crown of Mount Gyelwa Riknga (5471 m), and two lesser peaks known as Chugen-je and Tsela Nyenpo. Kawa Karpo itself is conceived as a male protector deity and Men Tsunmo as the corresponding female consort. The range is an important focal point for pilgrimage, revered as one of the 25 important meditation sites associated with Padmasambhava in Kham and Amdo. Specifically, this mountain range symbolizesthe body- aspect of buddha-speech. In the past its sanctuaries and hermitages have been a stronghold of the Nyingmapa school. Vairocana gave teachings on Dzogchen to his followers at Tsawarong, to the northwest of the range; and there are branches of Katok Monastery in its environs. The most renowned figure in this lineage was Kawakarpowa Namka Gyatso who, with his teacher Khedrup Yeshe Gyeltsen, expounded the Katok lineage throughout this extreme southern region of Kham. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
I tried my best to include as many as all in the photo, but both are not in the picture. Jupiter is too low, and Saturn is too high. We can see the Mercury, Waning Crescent Moon, Mars, and Uranus.
Note: For August 11–12, 2026, the forecast calls for Morning clouds.

This one has grown on me since uploading the other version. Camera rotation long exposure light art.
It had some help though, about a mile back.
The sound of dynamics cut through the otherwise quiet surroundings of Davidson Canyon, as Union Pacific 6762 fly's over the Cienega Creek. Below the train is the original Southern Pacific alignment through the area winding along the creek bed until the fork at Mescal Arroyo.
The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the village of Carnac in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany, and form the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BCE, but some may date to as early as 4500 BCE.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnac_stones
Les alignements de Carnac sont situés sur la commune de Carnac dans le département du Morbihan en Bretagne. Il s'agit d'un site d'alignements mégalithiques exceptionnel (la région de Carnac réunissant la plus forte concentration de mégalithes du monde1) constitué d'alignements de menhirs, de dolmens et d'allées couvertes et réparti sur plus de quatre kilomètres. Les alignements de Carnac sont les ensembles mégalithiques les plus célèbres et les plus impressionnants de cette période avec près de 4 000 pierres levées vers 4500 ans avant notre ère.
