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.

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.
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!

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.
The Female Red-tailed Hawk adjusts not only herself, but her tail feathers as well, guess they were out of alignment.

Tried different exposures but went with this silhouette version in the end.
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!

This structure sits close to the town of Port Glasgow on the river Clyde. This is a small section of what could almost be called a field of wooden posts. Originally constructed to hold wooden logs for use in the ship building industry which once formed the heart of the work force in the area, they now lie dormant and act as a memory of a long gone industry.
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.
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.
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.
