Chain ferns in the lush laurel forest on La Gomera in the Canary Islands. Each frond is about 4 feet long.
Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the larger Virgo Custer in the constellation of Virgo. The two bright galaxies on the lower section of the chain are M84 and M86 discovered by Charles Messier in 1781. In this field of view approximately 30 identified galaxies are visible making it a spectacular target to image.
A combination of 10 nights imaging in January and February 2022 and May 2023 using two different cameras. 2022 images were taken using a mono camera and 4 filters, 2023 images were taken using a colour camera and a single filter.

By artist, Charles Gaines. Per the description the box is like the hull of a ship. It’s 110 feet long with nine moving chains inside, (although at the moment the chains are not moving) the center chain moves in one direction while the other eight chains move in opposite directions, mimicking the currents in the harbor against the speed of the ship.

This was in the Winter of 2018 and was a great trip to Budapest. I can stil remember this outing at night because it was cold and I was walking for hours taking pictures and I had my tripod on me and it was just so quiet in the city. I was staying in a beautiful hotel in a very old building right next to the Liberty Bridge. I see it still exists, it's called The Butterfly Home. Friendly people, beautiful city... great city trip.
European city trips in winter are nice. Less crowds, lower prices and I don't mind the cold. I'm thinking about going the Bucharest this winter.
One glorious chain of love,
of giving and receiving,
unites all creatues.

We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
And when you look into my eyes
Felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination casts a spell and
you became more than just a mystery
And I think about you all the time
Is this fate is it my destiny
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
And I think about it all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness I barely know you
We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back you're still a mystery
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
Tell me it's madness
I barely know you

and to go with the title, something I found on youtube and..uh..not my kind of music, that's for sure! LOL
The alps : probably the symbol of Switzerland !
Don't you find strange that when you have a photographic interest of any subject, the best solution is not to go directly to it, but to stay remote in order to have a global view ? For example, most of good pictures of castles are not taken from the castle, but precisely a few km away.
It's the same situation here : I am about 100 Km away of the Berner Oberland and the Alps, on another Mountain Range : the Jura. Between me and these mountains there's at least two lakes. However, it's probably one of the best place - better than the alps themselves - where you can see what alps really are : a chain crossing the horizon from east to west.
This place is absolutely beautiful in the morning when the air is clear. That day, it rained between me and the Alps, giving this graphic aspects for the clouds.

In Slowakije a chain is hanging in the tree. Very intriguing.
Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my work. I really appreciate.
2nd trip to lulworth last night in a row as the 1st one was quite blowy and was determined to get sharper stars with the tracker
Typical weather apps giving misleading information i took it apon myself to look out the back door and make my own judgement as to wether i would venture out , and so glad i did despite a couple small clouds unlike the the apps saying 70% and more cloud cover
i managed to get some new composition and a bunch or tracked sky images
The 1st night i shot these boats one was behind the other and it wasnt a great comp but last night they were already waiting to be photographed perfectly placed and pose

1849 Chain Bridge and the 1905 St. Stephen's Basilica in the back.
This was taken near the Budapest Castle Hill Funicular. The funicular runs till 21:00 hours in winter and is €4 return (Feb 2018). You can also take the stairs and that will take about 15 min or so. The castle grounds are open 24/7. There was nobody around at the time I was there and you can take some nice shots of the bridges and the buildings on Pest.
