she was finally allowed to pass on after two years of fighting her cancer. Rest in peace and forever in our hearts dear mum. Photo taken by my dad in the early to mid 60's
I am pretty excited with my first narrowband image. Narrowbanding allows me to do DSO imaging from my light polluted suburban Bortle 6 backyard and even if the moon is in the sky.
Filters with a tiny bandpass of only 4,5 nm around the wavelengths of singly ionized sulfur (Sll), ionized hydrogen (H-alpha) and doubly ionized oxigen (Olll) are used with a monochrome astro camera to capture 3 different images that can be combined into a color image.
There is a catch though: SII and H-alpha are in the red spectrum, while Olll is teal. This makes it hard to produce an image with colors like the human eye would see.
The most common solution is to not even try to. That's what NASA did with the famous "Pillars of Creation" image from the Hubble Space Telescope. They assigned Sll to the red, H-alpha to the green and Olll to the blue channel. This is called the Hubble palette, a false color image that shows the distribution of the different gases.
My image shows the normally red Rosette nebula in the Hubble palette.
Here some additional facts from Wikipedia: The Rosette Nebula is a large spherical HII region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter. The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of some 5,000 light-years and measure roughly 130 light years in diameter. The radiation from the young stars excites the atoms in the nebula, causing them to emit radiation themselves producing the emission nebula we see. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses.

I took this portrait of the Little Female a few days ago.
Then, Little Red a Male I haven't seen for several months showed up.
I was able to capture him in a similar pose and thought it would be good to post them next to each other.
As a comparison.
Male and female.
Note the slight differences in head shape and his darker red color. Hence the name Little Red. He is a smaller male.
He has been hanging around her den for the last few days.
When they are focused on her, they completely ignore me. Which is cool, as it allows me to work in close.
Also, an older male that is really starting to show his age, is showing up. He is pretty banged up.

This tiny alley, without parking or even stopping allowed, was renamed in Bierce's honor in 1988 at the behest of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and concurrence of the SF Board of Supervisors. Ferlinghetti, noted poet, painter, publisher, and proprietor of City Lights Books in SF, also proposed the renaming of other alleys and cul-de-sacs to honor writers and artists (including Jack London, Jack Kerouac, Mark Twain, Dashiell Hammett, et al) who had lived and worked in San Francisco.
Bierce's most famous short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" was first published by William Randolph Hearst's SF Examiner newspaper in 1891. I don't think I own a copy of Bierce's "The Devil's Dictionary," but I have an upstairs copy and downstairs copy of "Write It Right," an annotated version of his "Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults" - annotation by Jan Freeman.
[ Personal aside, relative to City Lights Books, mentioned above: Fresh from almost graduating college, I arrived at City Lights in 1967 with an armload of mounted b&w photographs and was granted my first SF photo exhibit there by store manager Shig Murao, who 10 years earlier had been arrested for selling a copy of Allen Ginsberg's controversial "Howl" to an undercover SF police officer. History! ]

The little downey woodpeckers are so friendly that they allow me to get within 5 feet or less to snap their pictures. They seem to enjoy posing!!
If you want to visit this charming 40-soul village in the Lueneburg Heath in northern Germany, it's got to be your feet, or a bicycle or horse carriage to take you there.
Car-free Wilsede, first mentioned in 1287. Today, home to a heath museum, a couple thatched houses, sheep pens and a few places to refuel after all that hiking...

The Borobudur Temple, Indonesia’s spectacular site, allows you to travel back in time to enjoy an unrivaled combination of history, culture, spiritually and natural beauty.
Visitors will enjoy the astonishing experience afforded by the world’s biggest Buddhist monument which survived 1,200 years of natural and man-made disasters.
Set in an unspoil green valley surrounded by majestic mountains, a visit to Borobudur is an unforgettable experience.
But visitors who base themselves in one of the great selection of hotels in Jogjakarta, Solo or Magelang can easily also enjoy the delights of these historical cities, including Sultan’s palaces, handicraft industries and the other great temples.
Borobudur is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa. It is the world’s largest Buddhist temple, as well as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.

Fur seals and sea lions are distinguished from other seals by their external ear flaps and hind flippers which rotate forward, allowing them to move quickly on land.
New Zealand fur seals can be distinguished from sea lions by their pointy nose and smaller size. In New Zealand, fur seals also tend to be found on rocky shorelines, whereas sea lions prefer sandy beaches.
This pointy-nosed seal has long pale whiskers and a body covered with two layers of fur. Their coat is dark grey-brown on the back, and lighter below; when wet, kekeno look almost black. In some animals the longer upper hairs have white tips which give the animal a silvery appearance.

At the southern end of the Earth, a NASA plane carrying a team of scientists and a sophisticated instrument suite to study ice is returning to surveying Antarctica. For the past eight years, Operation IceBridge has been on a mission to build a record of how polar ice is evolving in a changing environment.
The information IceBridge has gathered in the Antarctic, which includes data on the thickness and shape of snow and ice, as well as the topography of the land and ocean floor beneath the ocean and the ice, has allowed scientists to determine that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be in irreversible decline. Researchers have also used IceBridge data to evaluate climate models of Antarctica and map the bedrock underneath Antarctic ice.

Very calm pony allowed me to get close enough to take an image from interesting perspective. Really wanted to include the dark foreboding skies to add to the drama. This image was always going to be black and white, though the pony had amazing blue eyes.
We are now allowed to travel 5 miles from our homes so in celebration I went to Briton Ferry - the pipeline is the defunct gas pipeline which used to serve Baglan Bay power station. It is a very derelict and decrepit place to visit but I love going there as I find it very interesting!! Most people went to the beach last weekend so decided to keep away from the crowds! Just before I shot this photo got soaked in a brief squall but then the most vivid rainbow appeared!
Mountains are benovelent by nature. They allow us to mine precious minerals, let us take wood, store water in glaciers that supply us with water and more. The snow cover reflects heat and maintains a climate that sustains life. Stop.
They have served a notice. No more of the above ifwe, the Homosapiens don't respect them. Respect in every sense. By being aware and doing every bit for the cause of Climate Change. Even more when we are travelling through them.
We all know what is right for the mountain and the earth; now we just need to implement them.
Happy World Mountain Day, all ye mountain lovers!
Bella, cautiously testing the chair only days after I adopted her. The chair had been empty for a few months, Bella needed a new home & I needed a cat. Now, she “knows” the chair belongs to her, though I’m usually allowed to share it!
Happy Caturday
allow the mind to rest with vivid clarity in an unaltered, empty state of mind. When the mind is still then settle into that stillness without trying to alter it in any way. ...

Gloucester beaches allow dogs on the beach from October 1 through March 31. On this beach, Good Harbor, they may be off leash only on even-numbered days, but only on odd-numbered days on the other major beach in town. I'm sure there's a good reason. Or a least a reason.
I went to the beach the other day. I looked up, and I looked down. There were good things to see. Intentional failure to see the big picture.

happy to find this little guy in my yard. don't know how he allowed a macro but he did. couldn't quite get all of him in focus due to the aperture and poor light...
We've had some torrential showers here this Spring, but this Apple blossom just managed to hang on. Nature's wonderful - let's hope we allow it to keep doing its thing.
Another very cold winter day in Maryland allowed me some fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.
peace to flow
into you as
sunshine flows

Another friendly garden owner allowed me to take this picture in their garden. As per usual, they had no idea about provenance but told me they bought it bc they liked it at the time. Sad for me, but certainly fair enough :)
Each good-news picture, no matter how hard-earned, allows me only a crumbling foothold on this steepening climb—an ascent whose milestones are fear and doubt :-)

- E.193.775 RTC - presso Rezzato, Brescia 06/04/2024
- È proprio in un giorno speciale che questa splendente E193 di RTC, in testa all’ordinario ferro per brescia (il secondo della giornata) si lascia immortalare in un punto diverso dal solito, studiato appositamente con l’obiettivo di contestualizzare quella che fu l’ex fermata di Rezzato.
- It is precisely on a special day that this shining E193 of RTC, at the head of the ordinary iron train for Brescia (the second part of the big mac) allows itself to be immortalized in a different point than usual, specifically designed with the aim of contextualising what was the former Rezzato stop.

The long days of lockdown are allowing me to edit photographs that, for lack of time, had been waiting on the hard drive for a long time. Not knowing when we can travel again makes me feel even more fortunate to have visited so many countries and even lived in some of them, like Italy. Although the situation in the transalpine country is improving, our plans to return in November will have to wait until who knows when. I had in mind to return to Italy once a year with my wife, to continue showing her some of the Italian places that I love so much and to continue photographing one of my favorite countries.
More than a year ago we were lucky enough to spend a few days on the Amalfi Coast, and on one of the dawns I walked through the Atrani road to just beyond the northern entrance to this town. With very little space available, I had to use my small mini tripod on one of the guardrails that separated the road from the edge of the cliffs. With almost no room for me, I sat next to the camera to wait for the sunrise. The morning woke up really cloudy, so in the end the blue hour was the best time to capture this less common sight of Atrani. A very small village, but really beautiful.

"Hay una gran belleza en las pequeñas cosas." Mehmet Murat Ildan.
Los largos días de confinamiento me están permitiendo editar fotografías que, por falta de tiempo, se habían quedado esperando en el disco duro desde hace mucho. No saber cuando podremos volver a viajar de nuevo, me hace sentirme aún más afortunado por haber visitado tantos países e incluso haber vivido en algunos de ellos, como Italia. Aunque la situación en el país transalpino está mejorando, nuestros planes de volver en noviembre tendrán que esperar quien sabe hasta cuando. Me había propuesto volver a Italia una vez al año con mi mujer, para seguir mostrándole algunos de los lugares que tanto me enamoran y seguir fotografiando uno de mis países favoritos.
Hace más de un año tuvimos la suerte de pasar unos días en la Costa Amalfitana, y en uno de los amaneceres me dirigí caminando por la carretera de Atrani hasta un poco más allá de la entrada norte de esta localidad. Con poquísimo espacio disponible tuve que usar mi pequeño minitrípode sobre uno de los quitamiedos que separaban la carretera del borde de los acantilados. Sin casi espacio para mí me senté junto a la cámara para esperar la salida del sol. Las mañana se despertó realmente nublada, por lo que al final la hora azul fue el momento más idóneo para capturar esta vista menos común de Atrani. Un pueblo muy pequeño, pero realmente bello.
