A bird's eye view of the former Rockingham (Anglican) Church (1875-1941) in Rockingham, Ontario, Canada.
The Rockingham Church, formerly known as St. Leonard's Anglican Church, was built by Reverend John S. J. Watson and others around 1875 when the hamlet of Rockingham was a thriving community. Essentially abandoned in the 1940s, closed in 1941, and by the mid-1990s the building had deteriorated significantly. Watson was the founder of Rockingham, at the time known as Watson's Mill.
In 1995, the Friends of the Rockingham Church formed to save the building from destruction. Major structural repairs were carried out in 1999 and 2000.
A post and beam structure, the building is a unique survivor of its kind in Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada, and one of the oldest remaining buildings in the area.
In 1999, the Townships of Brudenell, Lyndoch & Raglan designated the church a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act.

A very cute little plant, this forms a low clump or tuft of tiny, filigreed green leaves. Starry little pink flowers appear from late spring through to the fall. Survives best in mild winter regions, but in cold climates it is easily wintered in a pot indoors, then brought back outside for the summer. A wonderful selection for the rock garden or alpine trough, this is one of the few rock garden plants that flowers the entire season long

Chapelle en forme de croix latine, avec un seul transept, contenue dans l'enclos monastique. La nef et la façade principale remontent au XVIe siècle, avec ogives et sculptures. Le transept est séparé de la nef par une colonne qui possédait un chapiteau sculpté rappelant le style de l'architecture lombarde, détruit. Au Moyen-Age, s'y rassemblaient les pèlerins désirant rejoindre Rocamadour ou Compostelle à pied.. La chapelle Sainte-Anne avait de plus cette particularité d’être associée à un hospice, attesté dès le début du XVe siècle qui accueillait malades et pèlerins, notamment ceux du Tro Breiz qui venaient de franchir au bas de la rue de l’Église, le carrefour des Sept Saints. Une ouverture pratiquée dans le mur ouest permettait aux malades d’entendre et de participer aux messes célébrées dans la chapelle.

Another shot form last month's trip with Steve.
I had the idea that the sun setting behind the Cuillin Hills taken from the Bealach na BÃ on the Applecross peninsula would be a good way to end our day out in the west. Unfortunately the bank of cloud over Skye stopped that happening but I still fired off a few shots as the sun slipped out of view.
A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.

[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]
A Golden Clockwork of Impermanent Silhouette
What do you see in a sunset?
Metamodernist art by JJFBbennett
The neat, symmetrical rows of the cabin provided a brief sanctuary—a manufactured illusion of control. Beyond the glass, the landscape blurred into a predictable hum of gravity and linear geography, the very architecture we build to mark where the self ends and the raw universe begins.
Then, the acceleration shifted from the tracks to the mind.
The rigid symmetry fractured. Looking out, or perhaps looking inward, I saw the horizon collapse into the golden light. The human form ceased to be a solid permanence and revealed itself as a luminous, intricate lattice—a cosmic mechanism of ticking gears and radiant energy suspended against a bruised and burning sky.
What we call the self is merely a temporary alignment, a fleeting, symmetrical arrangement of molecules and conditioned thought. Like a sunset caught in the teeth of golden cogs, we are fluid, transient, and perpetually dissolving. In this collision of light and shadow, the comforting architecture of the past shattered, leaving no boundary between the observer and the infinite expanse. The illusion of control washed away, replaced by the beautiful, terrifying truth of our own impermanence.

I always loved finding forms and patterns appealing to me. Ten years ago, I captured these swirls to see what it would looked like. I was shooting with just a 7 megapixel camera then and there was a pattern I always wanted to reproduced, still looking for that perfect formation. So every spring, I try to find what I am looking for. Even though it is not exactly the same, I am always happy with these. Some I turn in black and white and others a lighter colour or even a warmer tone. Hope you will enjoy this series.

Soaring just above Sagittarius in our southern skies, the Eagle nebula (M16; NGC 6611) is part of a large emission cloud of hydrogen atoms and is the home of a young open cluster of stars, 7,000 light years from Earth. At the center of the nebula are the pillars of star-forming dark clouds. Made famous by images from the Hubble Space Telescope (www.nasa.gov/image-feature/the-pillars-of-creation), these "Pillars of Creation" are understood to be a stellar "nursery" and stretch roughly 4 to 5 light years in length. Nearby, off to the northeast (towards the lower left in this image) is another "Black Pillar" spire, about 9.5 light years long. [in Explore, 8 August 2019]

Erosion forms deep ravines in the packed earth of the badlands in Anza Borrego, as seen from Fonts Point overlook. Kevin and I started in Death Valley National Park and then drove south through Antelope Valley (previous post) and Joshua Tree, through the Coachella valley and on to Anza Borrego following the trail of the 2019 superbloom. I was struggling somewhat with compositions here so I finally decided to just embrace the raggedy erosion lines of sedimentary conglomerate (my geology-studying daughter has me finally learning the terms) leading down from the overlook. They were just catching the first rays of the rising sun and even though in harsher daylight they are pretty ugly, I found a certain rough beauty in the warmer dawn light. Of course I blew out the sun so I cut the top of the image off to let the aperture blade rays do the talking.
If you are ever in the area, Fonts Point is a soaring overlook with Ocotillo plants clinging crazily to the edges of these eroding cliffs, and is well worth the 30 minute drive from Borrego Springs. A river bed meanders through the badlands towards the Salton Sea. As an interesting aside for the curious or paranoid, the recent discovery of another fault line near the existing San Andreas fault that runs along the edge of the Salton Sea has raised speculation that this could be a likely location for the next "big one".

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Sand of Plum Island contains deep purple and dark grey patches. It is due to high abundance of almandine-pyrope garnet, pyroxene augite, and magnetic minerals such as ilmenite and hematite. Epidote adds some greenish hue. The source of the minerals is a terminal moraine that contains huge boulders of igneous and metamorphic rocks and products of their decomposition.

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble.
Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring.

I just popped up to the local village churchyard, hoping to see some of these. This one is the only individual where I managed some half-decent shots.
Sminthurinus aureus has several colour forms. There is an all yellow form and some dark forms. The dark forms like this, often retain the yellow legs and antennae. This individual was 0.6mm in length. They can be quite difficult to find (I use a 5x hand-lens) until you "get your eye in". This one was under a fallen laurel leaf. Whenever I see see fallen laurel leaves, I always check underneath for springtails!
No idea why but I always have liked the look of Shrewsbury Sixth Forms rooftops, shapes, textures, colours - nice buildings too.
