This one has grown on me since uploading the other version. Camera rotation long exposure light art.
An incredible display of light as the sun rises beyond Bryce Canyon's "Silent City" during monsoon season.

I was unable to get out to shoot the moon last night, so here is a shot I took back on March 15th of this year.
This is a 3 shot panorama in the portrait position taken with a 600mm lens.
Well I'm off, and starting my drive up to Mount Rainier today. I'll be back in a week.
Thanks for Looking!
Rare alignment of 4 planets in the night sky for the first time in over a thousand years. Saturn on top, followed by Mars, then Venus and Jupiter on the bottom at Killcare Beach on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
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.

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.
If you zoom in twice, you can see that Mars is right between M20, the Triffid Nebula, and M8, the Lagoon Nebula. If I'd known this, I would have switched to my telephoto lens and got a close-up, like I did with Saturn and the two nebula.
Ahhh! Time to give #346 a ride on the new turntable at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado. I imagine the stumble bums (or road apples) will summon forth the effort to push the turntable into a new alignment. Labor would have been thin in the old days.
The old burned out D&RG diesel is parked on the left. I spot the rebuilt C&N and the D&RGW boxes. I guess the C&N is probably older. The Colorado & Northwestern took over after a flood took out the Greeley, Salt Lake & Pacific trackage in Four Mile Canyon above Boulder, Colorado in the spring of 1893, see comments. The D&RGW stands for Dangerous & Rapidly Growing Worse, of course.
As it worked, the staff said Sunday would be more sane, I say barely any more. Everyone at the place got three loops. Only those with sharp elbows got the cupola in the caboose or a ride in the cab. They also do railroad modeling over here but they prefer modeling at a 12 inches to the foot scale. Area and other fans ought to make the trek; take your camera, empty and ready to go! The CRRM log is a Who's Who of worldly travelers. Rides for the kiddies of all ages started at 10:00 AM. Eddie the slug and I were chatting up a storm with some of the unhired help by the roundhouse. I spent time calling out all the hardware to fast Eddie and describing their utility. Knowledge that is too soon lost.
CRRM has done enormous work since last I spent time down there and the library was new. A recent roundhouse and turntable have been built as well as a complete narrow gauge loop for the all too popular steamups. Everything seems new.
A high exaggeration of a simple astro comp I shot near Windy, NSW two years ago. I found time to tinker it around and finally post it, especially when the milky way is not so shy these days.
With the 2012/2013 Aurora season coming to a disappointing close, who knows what the 2013/2014 season will hold! So many elements have to align for such an awesome sight to be seen from the west of Ireland. In fact this panorama taken in March 2012 may have been a once in a lifetime event. Delighted to have witnessed it from the comfort of my own home, priceless!

6608 (ES44C4) and 7424 (ES44DC) assist on the rear of a westbound BNSF bulk train.
The train is seen here traversing the deep cuttings of the straighter 2011 alignment. The winding 1868 alignment can be seen to the right.

The skewed perspective looking out of a concrete bunker that is sinking into the sand at Warden Point on the Isle of Sheppey, UK. There are three bunkers here that functioned as a radar station and sat on the cliff tops. Coastal erosion has ensured that they didn't stay there.
Looking West over Cuttagee Lake this evening. Venus, followed by Jupiter, Antares (α Scorpii), Saturn, Galactic Centre and Mars.
Mars is past the zenith.
Zodiacal Light too?
Taken with a full spectrum modified Pentax K5, but no lens filter in place for the exposure.

Der letzte Planet in der Reihe - Venus (Neptun und Saturn sind auch da aber nicht sehr sichtbar)
The alignment of six planets on 21st January 2025 - they were too far apart to photograph them all together, even as a panorama, so I just went for the the first and the last in the line-up.
The ring doves are still waiting at the top of the trees so they can see when food is arriving. These two managed to get themselves into an intriguing pose this morning whilst fog swirled around them.
STEVE!, Miss Puss, and Miss ZaZZy
Not a fan of the EXIF data getting mangled from editing. That’s some bullshit.
A seagull sitting on a flagpole in front of the sun setting over Saint-Quay-Portrieux.
Tried different exposures but went with this silhouette version in the end.
The Female Red-tailed Hawk adjusts not only herself, but her tail feathers as well, guess they were out of alignment.
A good morning.
