Amazing symmetry and balance as this flock of Canada geese sweep under the waning crescent moon in the morning sky.
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.
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.

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.
The night sky provides fascinating patterns and colours. The lighthouse at Grosnez, Jersey is situated in the foreground.
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.

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.

June 13, 2022 - Statue of Liberty - Back View with the Full Strawberry Moon alignment with the Torch, as seen and photographed from the Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. Photographed with Stephanie Solis, and many other Photographers.
Photographing in a former prison - De Koepel (the Dome) in Haarlem, the Netherlands. I was particularly interested in the way people were moving within the lines of the recreation / sports area, looking down from a high point.
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.
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.
I was up at 4:30 a.m. but did not really go out to the backyard until well after 5:00 (it was 56'ish degrees and windy!). And although I saw that it was overcast, I set up the camera on a tripod anyway, hoping that the sky might clear up before the sunrise "erases" any visible trace of the alignment of Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury. But it was not to be. Oh, well...there's still tomorrow.
