The more you let yourself be distracted from where you are going, the more you are the person that you are. It's not so much like getting lost as it is like getting found
~William Stafford
I'm really happy with this (much more so than with my last one). I didn't really edit it much except for stitching it together and overlaying a texture. I felt like it just needed a few finishing touches.
Yesterday my family and I went out to the coast (which is about an hour's drive) and it was freezing. The strong wind was the worst. We had a great time though.

Matera
is a city in the region of Basilicata, in Southern Italy.
It is the capital of the province of Matera. The town lies in a small canyon carved out by the Gravina River.
Known as la città sotterranea ("the underground city"), its historical centre "Sassi" contains ancient cave dwellings.
The exact date when these were first occupied, and the continuity of subsequent occupation, are questions that scholars still debate.
Sassi, along with the park of the Rupestrian Churches, was awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 1993.

From last month - it's been too miserable to go out today with the freezing rain we had yesterday early morning and the cold - I hate being cold.
Prince Henry the Navigator leading other explorers on their travels into a beautiful Lisbon Sunset. The 25 April bridge catches the last golden sun along with a small rainbow at the far end of the bridge.
The Padrao dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoveries) was inaugurated in .1960 commemorating 500 years since the death of Henry the Navigator who initiated the era of Portuguese explorers and discoveries. The monument shows 33 persons who were in some way involved in the discoveries.
Discover that FORGIVENESS in not about setting the ones that wronged you free, it's about setting yourself free.

As a photographer, a common theme I like to find is minimal geometry and patterns in nature or man-made objects.
This photo represents geometrical patterns and shapes created by the architecture and reflection of the Prudential Plaza in Jacksonville, FL. I walk past this building so many times, but one day managed to stand underneath it, and discovered this magic.
The architect is KBJ Architects from Jacksonville, FL, a firm responsible for shaping the incoming Jacksonville skyline we have today.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or comments on how I can improve this.

Thanks for your time!

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. - Edith Wharton
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Freightliner Class 66/9 No. 66556 passes through the shed at Frome station on the rear of 6Y15, the 16:00 Fairwater Yard – Slough West engineers working on 22nd September 2021. Class 66 No. 66951 was leading the train and it is worth pointing out that non-passenger trains are extremely rare on the Frome station loop.

I've been looking for this place for ages both on foot and online. I never like to ask where places such as this are to people who've been so I kept up the search. A picture from here came up on my feed which had a screenshot in the comments as to it's exact location. 30 seconds from the car, over a fence and down a muddy slope. Happy days.
I drove an hour from home, to a beautiful location in the Peak District just to drop into a rather smelly hole in the ground. I thought it was just the smell of nature but upon my exit I discovered someone had been down there and relieved themselves. Either that or the drains man who was in the car park on my exit was there to fix a problem with the sewers. Fingers crossed the former as my tripod and feet were submerged in the flow for about half an hour. If there is no upload tomorrow you'll know why.

A great little spot despite the aroma.
I'm off to clean my tripod.

This quote pretty much sums up my dream life!

Well, I guess it's getting pretty obvious that I'm running out of good stock shots that I took last summer and I'm now resorting to putting bits and pieces together from different things. I'll be glad when the weather gets better and I can get out and get some new stuff to work with. Don't get me wrong. I love doing this as well but there's nothing like getting out there and hitting the shutter button. Fresh air. New things to discover.
These huts are from shots I took at our local zoo. Always wanted to use them so this is what I came up with.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jim
On our recent trip, we took in the evening over Discovery River with the forbidden mountain in the distance and the River of Lights glowing.....then we made a dash to Pandora for last ride of the night.
This image is a labor of love. Originally begun in 2022 and finally finished this year. It is comprised of images from 2 different telescopes, 2 different cameras, two types of binning, and 9 different exposure lengths. I had no idea how difficult it would be to marry all this data together. Finally, here it is.
Discovered in 1702 by the German astronomer Gottfried Kirch, M5 is one of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 6.7 and a location 25,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens, M5 appears as a patch of light with a pair of binoculars and is best viewed during May.
A majority of M5’s stars formed more than 12 billion years ago, but there are some unexpected newcomers on the scene, adding some vitality to this aging population.
Stars in globular clusters are believed to form in the same stellar nursery and grow old together. The most massive stars age quickly, exhausting their fuel supply in less than a million years, and end their lives in spectacular supernova explosions. This process should have left the ancient cluster M5 with only old, low-mass stars.
Yet astronomers have spotted many young, blue stars amongst the ancient stars in this cluster. Astronomers think that these laggard youngsters, called blue stragglers, were created either by collisions between stars or other stellar interactions. Such events are easy to imagine in densely populated globular clusters, in which up to a few million stars are tightly packed together. Text from NASA/Goddard

M5 V2 is perhaps slightly better. V2 used a masked stretch, which made the stars smaller but resulted in a clouded overall look. In V3 I decided to go with a more conventional stretch for better clarity.
