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.
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.
"King Tides" occur when the orbits and alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun combine to produce the greatest tidal effects of the year.
This image shows a seawall at High (King) Tide, approximately 7 feet ABOVE the Low Tide level!

Note: The two images of High and Low Tide were taken on the same day, approximately 7 hours apart!

The alignment of a community, is how I saw these house floating in the air at the Tulsa Living Arts, hanging by fishing line with white background, added the texture and the lines disappear.
Beyond the fountain, you can see Prince-Regent Street, seen from the viewpoint of the Angel of Peace column, which owes its name to Prince-Regent Luitpold who had it built in 1890.
Para lá da fonte, consegue ver-se a Rua do PrÃncipe Regente, observada a partir do miradouro da coluna do Anjo da Paz, e que deve o seu nome ao prÃncipe-regente Luitpold que a mandou construir em 1890.
A fantastic night for a photo shoot in our nation's capital! A storm ran through the region earlier that day that had just cleared previous to my stay at the Linc Memorial. Ideal conditions for clear skies and color! And the moon decided to join the party. Lucky timing indeed...
It was totally unexpected, I only had enough time to get to this spot before the sun went down. To my great surprise, the sun showed up and there was only another tripod behind me :)

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 Doric columns in the temple of Aphaia on the island of Aegina shows how the ancient Greeks were very familiar with the idea of alignment. But in nature the cracks in a large, old stump also show a radial alignment, shown using a TextureLabs texture.
HMMM
Shooting the same locations can have some big drawbacks .. they force us to try to find new angles and takes on things ... New locations on the other hand inspire and enchant us.
Well this isn't a new location .. far from it indeed. but, having shot it a 'few' times from all sorts of angles I was blown away when the fates (and a few years watching storms move over the Illawarra) aligned tonight and pinned the tail on the donkey for me.
Easily one of my favourite images of 2019 so far.
ELO - Time: Ticket to the Moon (HD Vinyl Recording)
Rivers of words have been written about the event, so I will not dwell ...
I can say that I hoped to see the biggest moon, but it was at the maximum distance, we can not have everything together; )
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

A playground that no longer exists. Behind the fence, a Ford factory that no longer exists.
From nearly 40 years ago, but there will be many a playground that looks like this today.
I just got back from an amazing weekend in Charleston, SC to celebrate the 4th of July. I'm really content on where I am right now.
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?

Here is a shot of Devils Tower at twilight with the Belt of Venus and the Moon serving as a beautiful, colorful backdrop for the scene. I had this entire area to myself, and it really was a peaceful and serene as it looks.

Last week the conditions were perfect for the full moon and Trans America Building to intersect each other in perfect harmony. I met up with Tim McManus, and we walked down to Kirby Cove. For the long walk down, I brought a large wagon filled with two big lenses, tripod, and camera gear.
It was probably the warmest evening I have ever experienced at the Marin Headlands. We got down to the beach, and there was hardly a breeze. We set up our gear, and watched San Francisco reflect brilliant light towards us as the sun set behind us. The Golden glow from all the building's windows was amazing to watch. You could just tell with these conditions it was going to be a good moonrise! Nick Steinberg, and Stephen Boyle were set up next to us, and we waited for the moon to rise with some of the best conditions anyone could ask for.
Watching the moon ascend behind San Francisco on this evening was amazing! There were so many great moments during the moonrise, but this shot was my absolute favorite.
This is a single shot taken with a 600mm lens @ F/4 @ 1/4 second @ ISO 100.
My 600mm has no cpu chip, so my camera never records accurate exif info.
A big thanks to Tim for all his help!
Thanks for looking!
