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?
Taken with a full spectrum modified Pentax K5, but no lens filter in place for the exposure.

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.

RWE/Rheinbraun EL 1, 547, hauls an empty train towards the Hambach opencast colliery to get loaded with lignite (brown coal). The train is seen near Elsdorft on a new alignment of the Hambachbahn, where the railway has been moved to allow for the expansion of the Hambach colliery
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....

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.
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.
What I most love about camera paintings is when elements of the same scene get mixed. Here, for instance, the image of the trees has been mixed with the texture of the ground all in the one single exposure. This adds a lot more interest to the image. This piece will be printed 1 meter wide for the upcoming exhibition "Slowlight and the dancing trees" which will be sponsored by EPSON.

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
Two merging galaxies in the VV689 system — nicknamed the Angel Wing —feature in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike chance alignments of galaxies which only appear to overlap as seen from our vantage point on Earth, the two galaxies in VV689 are in the midst of a collision. The galactic interaction has left the VV689 system almost completely symmetrical, giving the impression of a vast set of galactic wings.
This angelic image comes from a set of Hubble observations inspecting the highlights of the Galaxy Zoo citizen science project. This crowdsourced astronomy project relied on hundreds of thousands of volunteers to classify galaxies and help astronomers wade through a deluge of data from robotic telescopes. In the process, volunteers discovered a rogues’ gallery of weird and wonderful galaxy types, some of which had not previously been studied. A similar, ongoing project called Radio Galaxy Zoo is using the same crowdsourcing approach to locate supermassive black holes in distant galaxies.
Noteworthy objects from both projects were chosen for detailed follow-up observations with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. In keeping with the crowdsourced nature of the Galaxy Zoo project, the targets for follow-up observations with Hubble were chosen via roughly 18 000 votes cast by the public. The selected targets include ring-shaped galaxies, unusual spirals, and a striking selection of galaxy mergers such as VV689.

HFF!
I found this fence while out for a drive in the countryside. The fence posts were in perfect alignment...straight as an arrow! You don't see that very often in rural areas.
The 5 planets from Rippon Tor which visible in the pre-dawn sky. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter.
Sounds like a Bourne novel title doesn't it? Was trying to find a clever title for an image that is [to me] interestingly framed. The two churches along the Limmat river form the "goal posts" and between them you have two bright stars visible in the blue hour night... except that these aren't stars, this is Jupiter (on the left) and Venus (on the right) and they are getting closer in alignment all through the month of June until they appear nearly converged towards the end of June. This is a rare alignment and I had no idea as I was framing the shot. In fact, I hadn't intended to capture any stars at all, was hoping for some sunset color reflected in the water between my Zurich "goal posts", but sunset was a total bust (almost no color whatsoever).
Taken with Pentax K-3 and trusty Pentax 12-24mm.
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!
Using a green laser to see where the telescope is pointing.
This is an individual frame from the timelapse that I posted earlier today. 20 sec exposure with a Samyang 14mm lens at f/2.8 and 6400 iso.
