The beauty that exists in the world is almost too much to behold. I have just returned from a road trip across the Northern United States and Southern Canada, and feel like I have peered into other worlds! Over the last two and a half weeks I have seen dozens of astoundingly beautiful places, experienced a ton of new things I’ve always wanted to do, and have met over 60 talented and inspiring people that will surely shape me in ways that I’ll still be discovering years from now. I dearly miss everyone that I met but I know God has plans for our lives to intertwine again! I am excited to see where life takes each of us!
This is a shot of our host in Vancouver, the incredible Lizzy Gadd ! She and her beautiful family took us to all sorts of amazing locations, many of which will surface photographs over the next weeks! Please check out her work, she is so insanely talented and inspiring! We shot at this waterfall for like 2 hours and right as we were going to leave, the light started making rays in the water and I was able to shoot this! Too many things seemed so perfect on this trip!
Much more conceptual work to follow!!!

3 PANOs layered with James Tiliich insert. A major production, two mornings of work.
James Tillich is known worldwide as "the man who never existed." I ought to know. I created him.
Another shot of Stamford, a beautiful historic town in Lincolnshire / Rutland.
The George Hotel to the right is a very historic place with three kings having stayed there. Here all pilgrims and knights of the Holy Sepulchre were entertained as they travelled from the north on their journey to Jerusalem to visit the Sepulchre of Christ, the knights accompanying the pilgrims for protection. The wooden beam across the road is where people used to be hanged and left as a gentle reminder to pay your taxes. The closest known date for the existence of the Inn is 947 AD.

Sawley Abbey was founded in 1146 on land given by William, third Lord Percy. The Percys, Northumberland’s greatest family, remained patrons of the abbey for much of its existence.The help of these wealthy benefactors proved invaluable in the 1280s when it seemed likely that the monks would abandon the site: they claimed that poor harvests, marshy ground and the inhospitable climate made life at Sawley untenable. In response, Maud de Percy, Countess of Warwick, gave valuable lands and churches at Rimmington (near Barnoldswick), Ilkley, Gargrave and Tadcaster. With this new endowment the monks stayed put.
Their problems, though, did not disappear. In 1296 Stanlaw Abbey in Cheshire was refounded at Whalley, nine miles from Sawley, and the two Cistercian houses immediately quarrelled. Their lands adjoined and they squabbled over grain supplies and fishing rights in the river Ribble.
The feuding officially ended in 1305, but the monks of Sawley, the senior foundation, continued to feel aggrieved. Sawley was considerably poorer than Whalley: it was impoverished by litigation, the ‘cruel and inhuman spoliation’ that accompanied Scottish raids about 1320, and the expense of providing board and lodging to travellers – unlike many Cistercian houses it lay on a busy main road.
In spring 1536 Sawley surrendered during Henry VIII’s Suppression of the Monasteries. However, that autumn, during the northern rising known as the Pilgrimage of Grace, the abbey was restored under a new abbot, William Trafford. The rebellion failed and Trafford was hanged at Lancaster in March 1537 and the abbey immediately plundered of its valuables.
During the following three centuries all the high-quality stone was taken and reused in neighbouring farms and cottages, and many of the abbey buildings disappeared. In 1848 the first archaeological investigation of the ruins was undertaken, and during the 20th century the site was taken into the care of the state, cleared of debris and conserved.

The remaining wall of an abbey, built from local stone, mainly random. You can see it’s been pointed up with a gritty sand / cement mortar, which is helping it to be there for future generations.
HWW!

Feeling right at home amidst the desert dust and sagebrush, two pretty Nevada gals haul a vintage freight upgrade on a beautiful summer morning in the year 2021, some 146 years after they were first constructed. Of course, we're looking at two of the oldest operable narrow gauge locomotives in existence, at least in the United States, in the form of Eureka & Palisade #4 "Eureka" and Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Co. #1 "Glenbrook", working their magic on the trackage of Colorado's Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. This particular image was made while westbound, near MP 296.7, near the top of a series of reverse curves called "The Whiplash" on the Colorado/New Mexico border. That's long-time Eureka Engineer, George Sapp at the throttle, with Cumbres & Toltec Pilot Carlos Llamas standing in the gangway behind him.
ESA’s exoplanet mission Cheops confirmed the existence of four warm exoplanets orbiting four stars in our Milky Way. These exoplanets have sizes between Earth and Neptune and orbit their stars closer than Mercury our Sun.
These so-called mini-Neptunes are unlike any planet in our Solar System and provide a ‘missing link’ between Earth-like and Neptune-like planets that is not yet understood. Mini-Neptunes are among the most common types of exoplanets known, and astronomers are starting to find more and more orbiting bright stars.
Mini-Neptunes are mysterious objects. They are smaller, cooler, and more difficult to find than the so-called hot Jupiter exoplanets which have been found in abundance. While hot Jupiters orbit their star in a matter of hours to days and typically have surface temperatures of more than 1000 °C, warm mini-Neptunes take longer to orbit their host stars and have cooler surface temperatures of only around 300 °C.
The first sign of the existence of these four new exoplanets was found by the NASA TESS mission. However, this spacecraft only looked for 27 days at each star. A hint to a transit – the dimming of light as a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint – was spotted for each star. During its extended mission, TESS revisited these stars and the same transit was seen again, implying the existence of planets.
Scientists calculated the most likely orbital periods and pointed Cheops at the same stars at the time they expected the planets to transit. During this hit-or-miss procedure Cheops was able to measure a transit for each of the exoplanets, confirming their existence, discovering their true orbital periods and taking the next step in their characterisation.
The four newly discovered planets have orbits between 21 and 53 days around four different stars. Their discovery is essential because it brings our sample of known exoplanets closer to the longer orbits that we find in our own Solar System.
One of the outstanding questions about mini-Neptunes is what they are made of. Astronomers predict that they have an iron-rocky core with thick outer layers of lighter material. Different theories predict different outer layers: Do they have deep oceans of liquid water, a puffy hydrogen and helium atmosphere or an atmosphere of pure water vapour?
Discovering the composition of mini-Neptunes is important to understand the formation history of this type of planet. Water-rich mini-Neptunes probably formed far out in the icy regions of their planetary system before migrating inwards, while combinations of rock and gas would tell us that these planets stayed in the same place as they formed.
The new Cheops measurements helped determine the radius of the four exoplanets, while their mass could be determined using observations from ground-based telescopes. Combining the mass and radius of a planet gives an estimate of its overall density.
The density can only give a first estimate of the mass of the iron-rocky core. While this new information about the density is an important step forward in understanding mini-Neptunes, it does not contain enough information to offer a conclusion for the outer layers.
The four newly confirmed exoplanets orbit bright stars, which make them the perfect candidates for a follow-up visit by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope or ESA’s future Ariel mission. These spectroscopic missions could discover what their atmospheres contain and provide a definitive answer to the composition of their outer layers.
A full characterisation is needed to understand how these bodies formed. Knowing the composition of these planets will tell us by what mechanism they formed in early planetary systems. This in turn helps us better understand the origins and evolution of our own Solar System.

The Walter Hill Hydroelectric Station is located in Rutherford County on the East Fork of the Stones River. The site is accessed via a 200 foot gravel road just off U.S. Highway 231, ½ mile south of Walter Hill, and approximately six miles north of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The dam is a concrete gravity structure approximately 15 feet high and 250 feet long with an overflow spillway section approximately 180 feet long. The steel reinforced concrete foundation supports a brick powerhouse, approximately 18 feet by 24 feet, located on the right (north) side of the Stones River. It originally housed a 192-kW vertical turbine and generator. The turbine intake consists of three openings, five feet wide in the powerhouse headwall which were controlled by three slide gates. The dam and power house were considered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) "to be in good condition considering the age of the project."
Although a conundrum exists concerning the exact date, 1912 appears to be the most likely year for the construction of a small power station built by the Murfreesboro Light and Power Company at Walter Hill, on the East Fork of the Stones River, previously a mill site since 1804. After a flood in 1918 damaged the dam the Southern Cities Power Company purchased the site and built the extant power station soon thereafter. In 1926 the property was transferred to the Commonwealth Southern River Company. Power continued to be produced at the Walter Hill site until 1934 when a subsidiary of Commonwealth Southern River, Murfreesboro Light and Power, shut down the generator. The year 1939 marked the acquisition of the property by the TVA, which continued to produce power until September 26, 1940 when the site was sold to the City of Murfreesboro. It then ceased producing electricity in 1941. The site is currently leased by the City of Murfreesboro to the Tennessee Highway Department which manages it as roadside park.
On November 7, 1990, the Walter Hill Hydroelectric Station was determined to be significant under the National Register of Historic Places criteria C for engineering because it represents the kind of hydroelectric engineering projects typical at the time of its construction on the smaller rivers of the State of Tennessee. Its design and size, while not unique among its class in the Volunteer State, display the characteristic vertical emphasis of what can be called "early hydro-style". It provided the electric needs of the town Murfreesboro and the surrounding areas until 1941 when it ceased operation. This station is likewise significant under National Register criteria A for commerce as it represents a change in the business of trading, commerce, services and commodities, and the gradual introduction of electricity into everyday human existence during the early twentieth century in Tennessee.
