I had the great chance to board an helicopter in Reykjavik to fly over the current eruption in the wild highlands of Iceland. We left the capital for a 5 hour trip over the glaciers to reach the live eruption at Holuhraun, our brand new volcano here in Iceland.
The eruption has started on the 31th of august this year by a volcanic fissure related to the volcano Barðarbunga. The lave field is now something like 60 km2.
Despite that the main crater is high enough for not having lava fountains anymore, the eruption is still ongoing and the scenery is fantastic!
A brand new part of Iceland is growing there and it shows no signs of decreasing activity...
The whole set of photographs is there on my website: Reykjavik to Holuhraun: Flying over the volcano

This image features a relatively small galaxy known as UGC 5189A, which is located about 150 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy was observed by Hubble to study a supernova explosion in 2010 known as SN 2010jl. This particular supernova was notable for having been an exceptionally luminous supernova event. In fact, over a period of three years, SN 2010jl released at least 2.5 billion times more visible energy alone than our Sun emitted over the same timeframe across all wavelengths.
Even after supernovae have faded to non-observable levels, it can still be of interest to study the environments where they occurred. This can provide astronomers with valuable information: supernovae can take place for a variety of reasons, and understanding the environments in which they took place can help improve our understanding of the conditions necessary for them to be triggered. Furthermore, follow-up studies after supernovae can improve our understanding of the immediate aftermath of such events, from their potent effects on the gas and dust around them, to the stellar remnants they leave behind.
To this end, UGC 5189A has been observed many times by Hubble since 2010. This image is from data collected in three of the latest Hubble studies of UGC 5189A, which also examined several other relatively nearby galaxies that recently hosted supernovae — ‘relatively nearby’, in this context, meaning roughly 100 million light years away.
[Image Description: A galaxy that is flat and misshapen. Above and on its right it is covered by plumes of shining gas and dust, while its centre and left side are more dim and patchy. A trail of dark, dim dust stretches from below the galaxy up and off to the left, where there are three more bright patches. The background around the galaxy is quite dark, with only a few small background galaxies and one star visible.]

Jardin de sculptures de la Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Martigny, Suisse
« Les jardins de la Fondation, ombragés et agrémentés de plans d'eau, présentent d'intéressants vestiges gallo-romains. On peut y admirer une exposition permanente de sculptures du XXe siècle par des artistes de renom international »
« Jean Dubuffet est un peintre et un sculpteur connu pour être le fondateur du mouvement de l’art brut. Sa fascination pour l’art des non-initiés, plus particulièrement celui réalisé par les enfants, les malades et ceux pour qui n’ont pas de références culturelles et artistiques, l’incite à imiter leur style pour l’incorporer dans le sien. Né Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet le 31 juillet 1901 au Havre, Dubuffet étudie à l’Académie Julian avec Raoul Dufy, Suzanne Valadon et Fernand Léger en 1918, mais quitte sa formation après six mois. Il retourne à l’art au début des années 1940 et forme la Compagnie de l’Art Brut (1948 – 1951, restaurée en 1962) avec André Breton, Slavko Kopac, entre autres. Il meurt le 12 mai 1985 à Paris à l’âge de 83 ans et la Fondation Jean Dubuffet, créée en 1973 dans le Val-de-Marne, continue de présenter ses œuvres. »

Sometimes you just have to change perspective. THese beauties were growing in northern New Medico along the upper Pecos river.
Towers of Rosenborg Castle
The clouds were lit up orange from citylights. I dialed the colors a bit trying to get a spooky look.
Did I succeed? I think I like it right now, but not sure if I still like it in a few day?... :-)

I am loving gathering a bunch of stuff from the polytunnel and immediately chopping and serving. Kohlrabi, a couple of types of lettuce, rocket, courgette flowers. radish and courgette.

"A tribute to the botanists from the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, who sailed the world to bring back new and exotic plants.
- On the nose, juniper and collection of citrus - grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, with a hint of spice from the cardamom.
- On the palate there's warming spice notes from cinnamon, nutmeg and cubeb pepper following the juniper and a lingering hint of szechuan pepper on the tip of the tongue.
- 15 different botanicals, with an emphasis on blending the citrus notes and spice, it's smooth enough to drink over ice with a grapefruit twist, or to make a gin and tonic full of character.
Presented in a beautiful gift box featuring artwork inspired by plant drawings in Kew's archives. The print work on the box uses vegetable oil-based inks and water-based varnish which have not been tested on animals. As such, some minor rubbing and smudging may occur in transit."
The spiral galaxy appearing in this week’s Hubble Picture of the Week is named IC 3225. It looks remarkably as if it’s been launched from a cannon, speeding through space like a comet with a tail of gas streaming from its disc behind it. The scenes that galaxies appear in from Earth’s point of view are fascinating; many seem to hang calmly in the emptiness of space as if hung from a string, while others star in much more dynamic situations!
Appearances can be deceiving with objects so far from Earth — IC 3225 itself is about 100 million light-years away — but the galaxy’s location suggests some causes for this active scene, because IC 3225 is one of over 1300 members of the Virgo galaxy cluster. The density of galaxies in the Virgo cluster creates a rich field of hot gas between them, the so-called ‘intracluster medium’, while the cluster’s extreme mass has its galaxies careening around its centre in some very fast orbits. Ramming through the thick intracluster medium, especially close to the cluster’s centre, places an enormous ‘ram pressure’ on the moving galaxies that strips gas out of them as they go.
IC 3225 is not so close to the cluster core right now, but astronomers have deduced that it has undergone this ram pressure stripping in the past. The galaxy looks as though it’s been impacted by this: it is compressed on one side and there has been noticeably more star formation on this leading edge, while the opposite end is stretched out of shape. Being in such a crowded field, a close call with another galaxy could also have tugged on IC 3225 and created this shape. The sight of this distorted galaxy is a reminder of the incredible forces at work on astronomical scales, which can move and reshape even entire galaxies!
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy. Its disc glows visibly from the centre, and has faint dust threaded through it. A spiral arm curves around the left edge of the disc and is noticeably more dense with bright blue spots, where there are hot and new stars, than the rest. Opposite, the disc stretches out into a short tail where it covers a distant background galaxy. Around it, other distant galaxies and some nearby stars are visible.]

Homeowner talking with FDNY Firemen about an electrical issue after power-line was knocked out by tree falling down.
Our brave little rental that brought us across rivers and up volcanoes. Not a 4x4. My sons loved ticking off my rental conditions as I breached them one after another. This is on Snæfellsjökull, near the end of the road. Next time, we'll rent a Landrover.
The Hubble Space Telescope has also observed the galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154, but the dusty red galaxy that appears multiple times to form a question mark shape is much more prominent in the Webb image. The infrared light that Webb detects is better able to pass through the cosmic dust of its home galaxy to reach the telescope. Astronomers used Hubble’s ultraviolet observations to help determine where star formation is happening in both the red galaxy and its close companion, a face-on spiral galaxy.

One of the greatest wonders of the world, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers (4,163 miles ) from east to west of China. We plan the walk the wall during one of our D+16 field trips.

Samuel Colman (1832-1920) was an American designer, painter and writer, best known for his paintings of the Hudson River. He was one of the founding members and the first president of The American Watercolor Society, and also an avid traveler, exploring France, Spain and the Mediterranean. His travels inspired his works of beautiful foreign landscapes.
