After a day of thunder and rain the sky suddenly cleared and gave way to a truly cosmic display behind the famous buttes of monument valley.
The foreground and the buttes were lit by some passing cars, while the orange glow on the horizon is caused by lightpollution from some nearby small towns.

THANK YOU ALL MY KIND FLICKR FRIENDS.
YOUR FAVS, COMMENTS AND INVITATIONS ARE VERY MOTIVATING AND APPRECIATED
Observed with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, the faint galaxy featured in this image is known as UGC 12588. Unlike many spiral galaxies, UGC 12588 displays neither a bar of stars across its centre nor the classic prominent spiral arm pattern. Instead, to a viewer, its circular, white and mostly unstructured centre makes this galaxy more reminiscent of a cinnamon bun than a mega-structure of stars and gas in space.
Lying in the constellation of Andromeda in the Northern hemisphere, this galaxy is classified as a spiral galaxy. Unlike the classic image of a spiral galaxy, however, the huge arms of stars and gas in UGC 12588 are very faint, undistinguished, and tightly wound around its centre. The clearest view of the spiral arms comes from the bluer stars sprinkled around the edges of the galaxy that highlight the regions where new star formation is most likely taking place.

I think it is time for a daylight shot or my followers will think that I only live at night...
This is structure is called Cosmic Astray or Escalante Volcano, but I perfer to call it the Eye of Earth.
I took this shot when I arrived at this remote location after a long and sternous hike. If you are interested in the whole story, check the caption of my nightscape image: flic.kr/p/W6brbo

This was the final version of my image - Cosmic Balance. After I colour calibrated my monitor - but I'm still using a laptop to edit :P. 15 image panorama at the Pinnacles with crescent moon lighting using PTGui for the stitch. Cloudy conditions threatened to ruin the milky way photo, but opened up enough for this image.
Still catching up on posting things to Flickr.
Sometimes things line up to make a perfect picture. The shooting star, milky way, and northen lights all came together over the the Parks Highway in Alaska.
In the vast expanse where energies intertwine,
My spirit rises, transcending space and time.
A seeker of truths, I cast aside the veil,
Ascending through dimensions, a cosmic trail.
In the dance of energies, vibrant and pure,
I navigate the realm, an odyssey obscure.
A tapestry woven with energies shared,
In the fifth dimension, where souls are bared.
Guided by whispers of a higher vibration,
I meet kindred spirits on this astral plane.
A fusion of energies, a cosmic blend,
where kindred spirits send.
Together we soar, a collective stream,
In the dance of energies, like in a dream.
A symphony of souls, in harmonic play, we find our way.
A shift in consciousness, a transformative state,
As I ascend, the energies resonate. With kindred souls,
I dance and play till dawn of another day.

It can be hard to appreciate that a human-made, football-pitch-sized spacecraft is orbiting 400 km above our heads, but there it is.
The jewel of human cooperation and ingenuity that is the International Space Station shines brightly in this image captured by ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet from the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour.
Crew-2 got these amazing views during a flyaround of the orbiting lab after undocking from the Harmony module on 8 November, before their return to Earth.
Since this image was taken, there has even been a new addition in the form of the Russian Node Module, known as Prichal. The final Russian module planned for the Station, it is a spherical node attached to the Russian segment with six docking ports for future Progress and Soyuz arrivals.
A collaboration between five space agencies, the Station has become a symbol of peaceful international cooperation for 23 years now. It represents the best of our space engineering capabilities as well as humankind’s pursuit of scientific knowledge and exploration.
By any standards, it is an incredible piece of spacecraft engineering. Weighing 420 tonnes, it travels in low-Earth orbit at more than 27 000 km/hour, circling Earth approximately 16 times every day.
Crew members conduct scientific research in microgravity at facilities such as ESA’s Columbus module. Some of these experiments and tests are preparing the way for human exploration of the Moon and beyond. But the Station also provides a unique view of Earth, while its science benefits life on our planet.
Current ESA astronaut in residence is Matthias Maurer, a first-time flier spending around six-months in orbit for his Cosmic Kiss mission. Matthias will continue to support a wide range of European and international science experiments and technological research on the Station before handing off to the next ESA astronaut to fly, Samantha Cristoforetti.
Follow Matthias’s mission on the Cosmic Kiss page.

Disco lighting on my bedroom wall.
I've been temporarily out to lunch and laid up in bed with the flu and a bad back... sciatica is suspected. I felt like I was going into a black hole when I took this shot or perhaps it was the effects of my pain medication :)
I love the effect I have created here with a slower shutter speed. I'm still fiddling around with all the manual settings on my new camera.
The little light worms down the bottom of the photo are cute too ... looks like they are on a mission. ............ or maybe I've had way too much medication .. ☺
I haven't done many adjustments to this photo .. a tad saturation, a crop and a 1% rotation.

The cosmic warrior looked dazzling in her tight purple uniform with the golden, variegated belt. She had long black hair, bright blue eyes, and an impressive sword in her right hand. She had just reached the top of the golden mountain, and she was feeling like the queen of the world. The night sky with the big full moon and the lacey grey clouds rendered the site even more magical.

Cats are known to like milk, so no wonder I found this one under the Milky Way! :-) Actually, I was very surprised it came by while I was photographing the stars above Cooperstown, NY, USA. I had to think and act quick - upped ISO to 2200, put shutter speed to 6 second and prayed the cat didn't move too much, and then flashed it with my iphone! (Darkened foreground in afterward.) Whew. So, yes, this is one shot and it really happened! Note: Venus and Saturn form a triangle with Antares, visible "under" the top fence post to the right of the cat.

Shooting Milky Way is pretty fun because lately I've really only had clear skies to shoot under. So taking advantage of those dark clear skies make for amazing Milky Way photos. Here's a popular spot to shoot the Milky Way. This was taken the same night I captured the meteor under this same tree, just from a different angle. Taken with the Sigma 18-35 f.18 Art lens.

In January 2020, I brought a couple of friends out to Sugarloaf rock, Western Australia to capture a photograph of them under the night sky.
I wanted the image to be immediately striking. Capturing the viewers eye to the couple looking over a dramatic landscape. However, the early season milky way in australia lends itself drastically different compositions compared to the peak season in the winter which is when I normally shoot.
I usually face towards the south or towards the west when capturing ultra wide panoramas of the milky way. But at this time of the year, I face towards north-east to capture the most interesting parts of the night sky.
I framed the couple under the milky way, looking out towards the rocky landscape and the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse towards the left of the frame. In the sky, the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud is shine bright and the faint glow of Barnard's Loop becoming visible around Orion.
See you under the stars

A vast galaxy cluster lurks in the centre of this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Like a submerged sea monster causing waves on the surface, this cosmic leviathan can be identified by the distortions in spacetime around it. The mass of the cluster has caused the images of background galaxies to be gravitationally lensed; the galaxy cluster has caused a sufficient curvature of spacetime to bend the path of light and cause background galaxies to appear distorted into streaks and arcs of light. A host of other galaxies can be seen surrounding the cluster, and a handful of foreground stars with tell-tale diffraction spikes are scattered throughout the image.
This particular galaxy cluster is called eMACS J1823.1+7822, and lies almost nine billion light-years away in the constellation Draco. It is one of five exceptionally massive galaxy clusters explored by Hubble in the hopes of measuring the strengths of these gravitational lenses and providing insights into the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters. Strong gravitational lenses like eMACS J1823.1+7822 can help astronomers study distant galaxies by acting as vast natural telescopes which magnify objects that would otherwise be too faint or distant to resolve.
This multiwavelength image layers data from eight different filters and two different instruments: Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3. Both instruments have the ability to view astronomical objects in just a small slice of the electromagnetic spectrum using filters, which allow astronomers to image objects at precisely selected wavelengths. The combination of observations at different wavelengths lets astronomers develop a more complete picture of the structure, composition and behaviour of an object than visible light alone would reveal.
[Image description: A cluster of large galaxies, surrounded by various stars and smaller galaxies on a dark background. The central cluster is mostly made of bright elliptical galaxies that are surrounded by a warm glow. Close to the cluster core is the stretched, distorted arc of a galaxy, gravitationally lensed by the cluster.]

Or fireworks over the old town.
Puede parecer una inofensiva foto de fuegos artificiales. Nada de eso. Los cascotes de los cohetes caían a mi alrededor y tuve que pedir a la gente que en caso de ser alcanzado, por favor pusieran mi Nikon a salvo. Afortunadamente, una vez más ambos salvamos el pellejo en esta arriesgadísima materia que es la Fotografía ;)
