This week's slightly macabre Saturday double features the age old contest between bird and train; some outcomes are good, whilst some are not so good!......
Swooping clear at the last second, a pigeon narrowly avoids a collision with East Midland Railways' 170504 passing Cossington working 2L56, the 07.41 service from Grimsby Town to Leicester.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole. Webb’s powerful infrared gaze produced this detailed image of the Cartwheel and two smaller companion galaxies against a backdrop of many other galaxies. This image provides a new view of how the Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years.
The Cartwheel Galaxy, located about 500 million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation, is a rare sight. Its appearance, much like that of the wheel of a wagon, is the result of an intense event – a high-speed collision between a large spiral galaxy and a smaller galaxy not visible in this image. Collisions of galactic proportions cause a cascade of different, smaller events between the galaxies involved; the Cartwheel is no exception.
The collision most notably affected the galaxy’s shape and structure. The Cartwheel Galaxy sports two rings — a bright inner ring and a surrounding, colorful ring. These two rings expand outwards from the center of the collision, like ripples in a pond after a stone is tossed into it. Because of these distinctive features, astronomers call this a “ring galaxy,” a structure less common than spiral galaxies like our Milky Way.
The bright core contains a tremendous amount of hot dust with the brightest areas being the home to gigantic young star clusters. On the other hand, the outer ring, which has expanded for about 440 million years, is dominated by star formation and supernovas. As this ring expands, it plows into surrounding gas and triggers star formation.
Other telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, have previously examined the Cartwheel. But the dramatic galaxy has been shrouded in mystery – perhaps literally, given the amount of dust that obscures the view. Webb, with its ability to detect infrared light, now uncovers new insights into the nature of the Cartwheel.

Driving the Pacer around Scunthorpe Steelworks was great fun, occasionally we experienced something like this albeit at slow speed.
following a trip to Carl Jones 71 and Corrie White photo-stream I decided to have a go at collisions, struggling up to now with one flash but another due today :o)
A high-speed water droplet photograph.
Water used: Xanthan gum and food coloring for the drops, along with a little half-and-half, base was plain water.

I finish work at 12 on a Friday :) so after doing a few chores I cracked open the drip kit. The last few times I have used it have been a disaster because of failed shutter firing but today I was determined to solve it. After 3 hrs of fecking about I cracked it, chuffin' loose wire!!
Managed to bag a fair few decent ones before it was tea time. Lots of playing with lighting to come in the future. Happy days.....
One of my captures just got 🏆 awarded first place at one of the competitions of PhotoCrowd…

Lost in thought and staring out the window, the movement of headlights pulls me back to the frame. I am often not sure why I shoot, but I am certainly glad that I do...and even want to. Lately, it seems that the question of why seems to be revolving around everyone I know. Why shoot? Why this frame? Why this camera? Why...why...why. ??? Headlights made me look but it was the tone and bluish tint that kept me there. Have a day!
