A filament (which at one point had an eerie similarity to a snake) broke away from the Sun and out into space (Nov. 1, 2014). The video covers just over three hours of activity. This kind of eruptive event is called a Hyder flare. These are filaments (elongated clouds of gases above the SunÕs surface) that erupt and cause a brightening at the Sun's surface, although no active regions are in that area. It did thrust out a cloud of particles but not towards Earth. The images were taken in a wavelength of extreme UV light. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory/NASA.

Rose/Rose - Rosa
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers are large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. (Source: Wikipedia)

in other news, i received an email from a flickr member who used this shot as part of a video for a song he wrote and performed. i appreciate that some people don't like to license their work too freely, particularly if they are trying to work in the world of commercial photography, but i have a fairly open cc license covering all my shots. this has allowed some worthy not-for-profits and artists to use my images in the past, and it's always great to hear that your creations are appreciated.
the link to the video on youtube is here: broken, and the band's website, should you like the music, is here: fit and the conniptions. the credits at the end of the video provide attribution to the artists whose visuals were used, and it was great to receive a thank-you note about the project.
