These mushrooms popped up out of nowhere next to my parking space this autumn. They looked so nice I had to snap a photo of them.

I love this shot :-)

I put my old camera tripod to use again, and this was the result in some very low light. My tripod has not been in use since the late 80's... I only used it for taking portraits, so no wear and tear on it at all... still looks brand new! It was a strange feeling to be using it again with such a different kind of camera.

Not sure what this is hanging in the evening sun.

MacroMondays theme this week is "Ready for the Day"

 

I have a feeling that toothbrushes will be the bulk of the submissions. They are surprisingly photogenic and seem to invite interpretation.

 

I hope I remember/have time in the morning to add to the group. Maybe my toothbrush will remind me.

Otherwise will add tomorow evening when I get home.

Exposure: 1/400

Aperture: f/10.0

Focal Length: 55 mm

This stunning image by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features the spiral galaxy NGC 5643 in the constellation of Lupus (The Wolf). Looking this good isn’t easy; thirty different exposures, for a total of 9 hours observation time, together with the high resolution and clarity of Hubble, were needed to produce an image of such high level of detail and of beauty.

 

NGC 5643 is about 60 million light-years away from Earth and has been the host of a recent supernova event (not visible in this latest image). This supernova (2017cbv) was a specific type in which a white dwarf steals so much mass from a companion star that it becomes unstable and explodes. The explosion releases significant amounts of energy and lights up that part of the galaxy.

 

The observation was proposed by Adam Riess, who was awarded a Nobel Laureate in physics 2011 for his contributions to the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe, alongside Saul Perlmutter and Brian Schmidt.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observation has captured the galaxy CGCG 396-2, an unusual multi-armed galaxy merger which lies around 520 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Orion.

 

This observation is a gem from the Galaxy Zoo project, a citizen science project in which hundreds of thousands of volunteers classified galaxies to help scientists solve a problem of astronomical proportions — how to sort through the vast amounts of data generated by robotic telescopes. Following a public vote, a selection of the most astronomically intriguing objects from the Galaxy Zoo were selected for follow-up observations with Hubble. CGCG 396-2 is one such object, and was captured in this image by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.

 

The Galaxy Zoo project originated when an astronomer was set an impossibly mind-numbing task; classifying more than 900 000 galaxies by eye. By making a web interface and inviting citizen scientists to contribute to the challenge, the Galaxy Zoo team was able to crowdsource the analysis, and within six months a legion of 100 000 volunteer citizen astronomers had contributed more than 40 million galaxy classifications.

Since its initial success, the Galaxy Zoo project and its successor projects have contributed to more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and led to a rich variety of intriguing astronomical discoveries above and beyond their initial goals. The success of the project also inspired more than 100 citizen science projects on the Zooniverse portal, ranging from analysing data from the ESA Rosetta spacecraft's visit to Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko to counting killer whales around remote Alaskan islands!

The montage was processed with Microsoft Digital Image Suite to create a painterly effect.

Squirrel at Santa Clara Uni

it has taken me a while & multiple attempts to upload this - Away for a while and on dodgy wifi, I brought this picture with me - I never like to miss posting for webwednesday!

This was our neighbor's house, he lived here when I was growing up. Of course he's passed on now, and the house is abandoned. So many of the places that were once occupied are now empty, either repurposed as farm buildings or slowly decaying.

Moss growing on a brick wall.

  

A quick drive down to the Grand Canyon (3 days) before returning to work tomorrow. Spectacular as always, with lots of snow on the rim, and a dusting on the walls.

As all the pictures in my gallery, this is a FREE picture. You can download it and do whatever you want with it: share it, adapt it and/or combine it with other material and distribute the resulting works.

 

I’d very much appreciate if you give photo credits to “Carlos ZGZ” when you use this picture. This would help me find it and add it to my photoset “Used elsewhere”.

Another shot of the Lake Berryessa Glory Hole. My timing sucked, with the hole-side of the valley in shadow.

 

Other pic here, which gives a better sense of scale. Link. The drop is over 200 feet, over 60 meters straight down, the diameter is 72 feet or about 22 meters. Somebody has of course fallen in, and needless to say, perished.

 

Lake Berryessa is artificial, a flooded valley. Somewhere deep under there was once the town of Monticello. As well as forcibly moving the residents, they also moved a cemetery, which was relocated to the banks for the lake.

For Asteroid Day, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over the Shoemaker Impact Structure (formerly known as Teague Ring) in Western Australia.

 

Located around 100 km northeast of the small town Wiluna, the Shoemaker Impact Structure was renamed in honour of Eugene Shoemaker, a planetary geologist and pioneer in impact crater studies.

 

The almost circular shape of the Shoemaker impact site, visible in the bottom-right of the image, is approximately 30 km in diameter and is defined by concentric rings formed in sedimentary rocks (seen in dark brown). The precise age of the impact is unknown, but is estimated to be between 1000 and 600 million years ago – making it Australia’s oldest impact crater.

 

This false-colour image was processed by selecting spectral bands that can be used for classifying geological features, allowing us to clearly identify the concentric rings in the image. The light blue areas are saline and ephemeral lakes including Nabberu, Teague, Shoemaker and other smaller ponds.

 

Asteroid Day, the UN-endorsed global awareness campaign is back on 30 June with an exciting 5-hour live broadcast from 18:00 CET. With the help of leading experts, Asteroid Day Co-founder Dr. Brian May and the most engaging voices in science communications from around the world, the five hour programme will bring the solar system’s smallest worlds to vivid life for audiences of all ages and backgrounds. For more information, visit ESA joins Asteroid Day for rocky live broadcast.

Hard frost this morning became dew as the air warmed.

   

These charming birds are not only known for their love of fruit, but they also have a unique social behavior during mating. During courtship, Cedar Waxwings perform a special dance and exchange small gifts like flower petals or insects. If the female is interested, she’ll dance back, and they may even rub their beaks together affectionately.

 

Toyon is rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which have antioxidant effects. These compounds help combat oxidative stress and may protect cells from damage.

A Western Bluebird dropped by yesterday afternoon. Although they're around, I think this is the first time, I've ever had one at my house.

Low tide.

 

Near sunset.

Zermatt, it's a pleasant town, but seriously they need to sort out all the traffic!!! This was base camp to getting up closer to the Matterhorn. I warned you all that I would be posting more gratuitous Matterhorn images!!! This is from a couple of weeks ago in Switzerland.

 

The whole traffic thing is a joke of course. Zermatt is actually combustion engine free, only electric and "grass-powered" vehicles up here. Which means you can't actually drive here, you need to take the spectacular cogwheel train to get to the village. Steep sections of the railway have cogs to stop the train from slipping backward or going down too quickly.

 

The horseman's outfit matches the Valais flag, which is the canton that Zermatt is in.

Another ridiculously early morning shot in the rain and wet grass, but as we say in Ireland, "A damp day, thank God!"

 

I took this a week ago, just getting to put it up now. My only shot of last Sunday. I thought it looked a bit shamrocky, even though they're clover leaves, so looks like a place a Leprechaun might leave his umbrella!

 

Today is day 192 of Project 365 (Sunday).

3 or 4 of my pictures disappeared on Flickr, this was one of them. I just wanted to repost them, no need to comment again :-)

This is the vibrant liquid light from the stained glass windows of the Sagrada Familia. The color comes from 100% filtered sunlight. Astonishing genius from Gaudi, the light changed continuously while I was there.
