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.
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
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.

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.
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).

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!
For the last decade or so, astronomers have been puzzled by the alignment of some jets of X-rays coming from very fast-moving pulsars (that is, spinning neutron stars) that shoot out into interstellar space at odd, unexpected angles. This is what astronomers see with PSR B2224+65, a pulsar found near the structure nicknamed the "Guitar Nebula" due to its shape in optical light (blue). An X-ray stream (pink) captured by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is pointed nearly perpendicular to the guitar-shaped structure, originating from the magnetic poles of the pulsar.

A familiar view from an unusual angle. By Mark Higham. You can find more of my photos on instagram at @theartshot360 www.instagram.com/mhigham.photos/theartshot360
I keep being inesorably attracted by this kind of landscape views, just close to my home environment.
The edges. The light and the darkness.
The frozen land and the warm embrace of the first light.
The flat ground and the steep hills.
It's only one moment: everything just happens and lines up perfectly.
Sometimes I just feel that it was written. And I was so lucky to be at the right time in the right place, with the right mood. But when every thing lines up just perfectly, I realize that it can't be no more a matter of Chance. It's a matter of will. And the strive for the need of romance.

Gli allineamenti perfetti
Continuo a sentirmi inesorabilmente attratto da questo tipo di immagini, più o meno tipiche della mia terra. I confini. La luce, il buio.
Il terreno congelato e il caldo abbraccio della prima luce.
L'orizzonte piatto e le colline ripide.
E' solo un momento: ogni cosa accade e si allinea perfettamente.
Qualche volta mi sembra quasi che sia stato già scritto. E che sono stato solo fortunato nel trovarmi al posto giusto, al momento giusto, con il giusto animo. Ma quando ogni cosa risulta perfettamente allineata, mi accorgo che non è sempre frutto del caso. E' un atto cosciente. E lo sforzo per la ricerca di un po' di poesia.
Da ascoltare: Norah Jones, Sunrise

A rare daylight NYS&W HAN-1 heads west through Franklin Lakes, NJ. The "missing link" of I-287 between Montville, NJ and Suffern, NY was still under construction in this March 1993 view. The Susquehanna main had recently been relocated to the alignment seen here due to this construction project. The original alignment roughly paralleled the far side of I-287 where the distant buildings are located and would have crossed I-287 near the head end of HAN-1. This view is not possible today due to tree growth along the right of way.
NYS&W HAN-1:
SOO 778 SD40-2
GATX 2003 SD40-2
It's not often that I manage to capture an image that exceeds my expectations.
I noticed this alignment of pine trees a couple of months ago, and wondered how it might look with the sun setting perfectly within the gap.
There are only a few days in any year where it would be possible to capture a photo exactly like this. Would the weather play along with my plans?
I've been returning to this exact spot most evenings this past week... hoping to capture my pre-visualised shot. Every previous attempt was a failure, with the sun disappearing behind the clouds before it appeared in my frame.
But then yesterday evening I got everything that I was hoping for... and more. I'm stoked! :)
