Venus as a razor-thin crescent and only 8° east of the Sun on May 29, 2020, five days before its June 3 inferior conjunction. The crescent is extending a little beyond 180° here due to scattering in the Venusian clouds. The disk was 57 arc seconds across and 0.9% illuminated. The magnitude was -3.9.
This was at midday, shot with the 130mm Astro-Physics f/6 refractor with a 2X Barlow and the Canon 60Da camera, but the frame cropped further in processing. This is a single 1/1250th second exposure at ISO 100, the sharpest of 70 still frames taken.
This shot is on the cusp of greatness and just doesn't quite make it. The medieval parapets on the roof are great, but the bottom of the building kinda kills it. The pose is great, the sunlight makes the silver sparkle on the costume and (for once) the wind caught the cape perfectly...but my face and the shoulder kitten are obscured under the shade of the hat. Rats.
That said, I do still like the shot overall...Mike shot it a little low to catch the roof line, which also makes the pose more threatening. It reminds me of those panels in the comics where the villain appears and half their body is obscured in shadow. :-)

Inside out our cusp was severed
You'd pull me down so I'd trust whatever
But oh my god
We're more than I thought

See the input canal and the output canal. Despite the height of the geographical cusp, there are several sources of fresh water nearby. Prehistorien Bruno Marc notes the frequency of the name "Bel Air" in the Languedoc region and explains that it is a deformation of the Gaulois Bélènos. Bélènos was a cult and pagan God linked with the fertility, the sun and water. The site is south facing and has water. Marc goes on to speculate a continuum with prehistory, "...rites peut-etre héritè de pratiques préhistoric." BM 2016. I think that the side basin on the Dolmen de Coste-Rouge would have been easier to produce when the stone was flat, and that a continuum may be projected - after all, prior to the invasion by the Romans, Gaule was a co-existing mosaic of tribes reacting to and from innovations of production - tribes with inductive links to all protohistory and the Neolithic.
Long exposure in Toronto's High Park after dusk-- a dam of fallen leaves forms on the cusp of a small waterfall.
...after a sedentary Saturday nursing my right wrist, which was in the grips of another tedious arthritic attack, my GLW and I went downtown to the Caribbean bar, Turtle Bay. Plenty of reggae and oodles of Red Stripe later and I hardly noticed the pain ;))
Oh yeah, took the Pen F and 45mm f1.8 too
One last sunrise shoot for 2016!
North Mona Vale rock shelf was full of action as it approached mid tide. It was good to see some movement around some of the iconic rock features.
Wishing everyone all of the best for a great 2017!
The Quaratesi Polyptych is a painting by the Italian late medieval painter Gentile da Fabriano, now divided between several museums.
It was painted by the artist for the Quaratesi family's chapel in the Church of San Niccolò Oltrarno, perhaps not a long time after the Strozzi Altarpiece. Today four of the five original compartments (including the painted cusp) are known, as well as some parts of the predella (which has scenes of the Life of St. Nicholas):
Madonna with Child and Angels with, in the cusp, Angels and a medallion of the Redeemer (central compartment), 139.9 x 83 cm, The Royal Collection, Hampton Court, stored at the National Gallery, London
St. Mary Magdalene, with cusp (left compartment), 200 x 60 cm, Uffizi, Florence
St. Nicholas of Bari, with cusp (left compartment), 200 x 60 cm, Uffizi, Florence
St. John the Baptist, with cusp (right compartment), 200 x 60 cm, Uffizi, Florence
St. George, with cusp (right compartment), 200 x 60 cm, Uffizi, Florence
Predella
Birth of St. Nicholas, 36.5 x 36.5 cm, Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome
The Gift of St. Nicholas, 36.5 x 36.5 cm, Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome

In this post I told the story about my last minute pilgrimage to Montana Rail Link on the cusp of its flag lowering: flic.kr/p/2nLhAy6
So continuing with the series featuring one photo of each train in chronological trip order here is the fifteenth train of the trip and the fifth of Day 4. So after the fun in the Billings area we said goodbye to Jimmy and the cute little 84 and headed back west to Laurel to wait for our main target of the day. The Laurel Bozeman freight (LAUBOZ) makes a 250 mile round trip turn between its namesake yards five days a week and is one of THE most popular trains to chase in the country these days. It seems like every railfan photographer who's anyone has made the trip to do it, so much so I'd argue it has been giving good old NRFF a run for its money for the title of 'America's Freight Train!'
Anyway, all kidding aside we set up by the 5th Ave. crossing at MP 15.5 on MRL's Second Sub. just west of the giant yard by the interline in West Laurel where BNSF's Casper Sub joins from the south. On duty at 1600, exactly one hour later they started accelerating west by us in some gorgeous light and the chase was on. Unopposed the whole way, they high balled on clear blocks for 100 miles excepting one brief pause to get past a signal gang working to kill off the searchlights as PTC is installed. It made for one epic high speed chase trying to keep up with the pair of rebuild SD40-2XRs MRL 263 and 250. The former was originally built as a straight SD40 in Apr. 1966 as CNW 891 and the latter as an SD40-2 in Apr. 1974 as BN 6377.
Countless articles have been written about the MRL over the past 35 years of its existence and if you care to learn more download this great set of articles courtesy of Trains Magazine:

Wars fought for the sake of one man's vanity
These thoughts verge on the cusp of insanity
To destroy the souls of others in their nation
Defies even the basest of sought explanations
Ukraine burns in these cinders of hateful shame
In the end, the world knows who it is to blame
But really isn't this too often the way of humanity
Sometimes I feel this too deep and with clarity
Mankind must learn its ways to maybe collaborate
In finding reasons to join together and celebrate
My tears flow at thoughts of pain and the death
Taking moments now to somehow find my breath
Father forgive us, we still know not what it is we do
If there are any doubts about this erase it with this view
We must lay down our arms and forget these ways
Or we'll find our path to our destructive final days
De Manoel de Barros:
Todas as coisas cujos valores podem ser
disputados no cuspe à distância
servem para poesia

Mt. Rainier is amazing any time of year. But when you hit it on the cusp of winter? Sometimes that kind of wonder makes the heart hitch.
Image made with my Hasselblad 500 C/M.
Yet another evening at the laboratory,fiddling around. Live band playing jazz in the background really gave the moment another dimension.
A new beginning. Winter this year whilst endlessly grey and wet, has been warmer than recent times. In the mid January I noticed a change. A familiar sense of awakening in the air and before long, in the last week of the month, brave little spring blossoms began to appear. I can't describe how happy this made me, watching the trees slowly becoming fuller and fuller with tiny pale pink flowers! Finally I could see it, the end of winter !
I wanted to symbolise this moment, the cusp of spring, a time between seasons. Like flowers we too grow, bloom, nurture, fade, hibernate, grow and bloom again... each time stronger than the last.

We have a smidge of autumn color for a very brief time. These leaves, harvested from the 'hood, were wonderfully curly and character-filled.
A copy of this will be collaged into my Sketchbook Project moleskine; it does double duty as "direct observation" for Kate's class . . . lesson two.

.Happy July, my Flickrfriends. So seldom I do anything with my photos lately. Tonight this one called to me. I hope you like it. If you look closely, you might feel a bit like an aquatic Alice. Or maybe it's just the mood I'm in tonight. Hope you are all enjoying Summer.....I'm going to the Lake tomorrow....yay! Take care......blessings.

We spent all day lying flopped on couches on opposing sides of the sitting room chit-chattering and so by the time we got to taking pictures, it was the fall of night, AGAIN. We nearly got locked in to this estate, (which closes at night) we had to pelt it through the forest to get back to the car, she looking like a ghost of times past, the only give-away to her humanity the clacking of the heels of her brogues as she sprinted by my side.
The colours of winter 4...
As autumn turns to winter the wild roses in the garden show flowers and rose hips together. The reds of berries take over as the leading colour in both hedges and bushes as winter arrives.
