We were lucky to be treated to a stunning dawn sky standing atop Bradgate park by Old Johns tower and not only that we could also see the moon, Venus and Jupiter in close alignment in the morning sky northwest of the tower

Early summer, a sunset in Öregrund, the Swedish town at the coast of the Baltic sea.../ Himmelskt, en sommarkväll i Öregrund.../ Celestial...un atardecer a comienzos de verano en Öregrund, pequeña ciudad en la costa Báltica de Suecia...(DSC_6414-2)
Standing still under the band of the Milky Way - the Celestial River of uncountable stars of our own Galaxy - this boat rests quietly on fine grains of sand created long ago. How long ago is exceedingly difficult to answer since the erosion of rocks and the formation of sand is an ongoing procedure.
Another interesting question is whether there are more grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth than there are stars in the whole Universe. And although one might argue that the stars probably outnumber the grains of sand, the only certain thing is that every single grain of sand and every single cell of our body, has been at some time part of a stellar interior, since all the heavy elements of the Universe have been created in the interiors of stars and have being ejected to interstellar space by exploding stars, only to be incorporated by next generation stars and ultimately into what now comprises our Solar system and our bodies. We are all made of stardust after all.
Thanks to everyone for visiting my photos, for all your faves and comments, I deeply appreciate it! Wishing you all the best! Clear skies and health to you and your families.
Technical info and some personal thoughts:
Photographing the Milky Way from that place on the beach proved problematic, since the wide angle lens at f/2.8 captured an annoyingly great amount of light pollution from the distant village, even in ten-second exposures, so I had to take many shots to find the best settings, as a balance between capturing more of the starlight and less of the light pollution. Clearly not the best place to photograph the Milky Way, but it is so relaxing to be on a beach on a clear, moonless summer night, under the canopy of stars with no people around, contemplating the mysteries of the Universe, that I could not resist it!

Is there anything at rest in the Cosmos? The Earth spins on its axis, revolves around the Sun, which in turn revolves around the Milky Way center and so on …The rotation of the Earth creates day and night and makes the Sun rise and set each day, and so do the stars at night. Stay out late for some hours and you can see the stars change their position through the course of the night. Point your camera to Polaris - where the Earth’s rotation axis is currently aiming at - and a long exposure (or many short ones combined) reveals the colorful star trails.
Thanks to all for your kind comments, wishing everyone health and clear skies!

Magic night on the black beach of Stokksnes in Iceland.
We have no chance and all our winter trip that was the overcast nights. Only that night near Vestrahorn we had half-hour of clear sky at night. Excited and happy we tray to catch that special moment.
took a trip out to Farmington and Shiprock yesterday. Great monsoon afternoon with storms and magnificant clouds all around.
Admittedly, I have waited for a good twenty minutes to get four gulls on the pic!
Many thanks for taking a close look at all of my images!

“The concept of dreaming is known to the waking mind
but to the dreamer there is no waking, no real world, no sanity;
there is only the screaming bedlam of sleep.”

Celestial Falls is the second step of the major falls of the White River, and was formerly considered to be part of White River Falls itself. The falls drop 41 feet over a uniform ledge, plunging into a large pool at the base of the formation, with White River Falls visible just 180 linear feet upstream. The falls feel oddly out of place in the gently undulating foothills on the east side of the Cascades near the town of Maupin. The White River originates on Mount Hood some 40 miles upstream, gathering lots of smaller tributaries as it rolls downhill towards its confluence with the Deschutes River. By the time it reaches the Tygh Valley its a fairly substantial river.
It is best to live with honor for just a day than with dishonor for many decades; better a short lived celestial swan than a century-lived crow.

Rond- point céleste : courtoisie et sérénité sont de rigueur, pas un panneau de circulation mais les anges ne s’engueulent pas, de temps en temps passe un poète, juché sur son alexandrin, une âme perdue vient de rater sa sortie et repart pour un tour ; sévèrement caniculés, des blaireaux restés au sol guettent l’arrivée d’un nuage …
