Mist forming in Little Langdale on the drive in was encouraging, although a stiff breeze on the Wrynose Pass wasn't promising. However, it seemed like the cold valley air was being pushed up Great Langdale from the south, and rising over the Langdale Pikes to give some amazing atmospherics for a couple of hours around dawn. Coupled with haze in the valleys gave a wonderful start to the holiday.

Parco del Ticino, sentiero delle farfalle (Maggio 2013).
Si tratta di un insetto (chiamato volgarmente "diavolino") appartenente alla Fam. Membracidae e all'ordine degli Homoptera; questa famiglia rappresenta uno dei raggruppamenti più interessanti, nell'ambito degli Insetti, per la particolarità e spettacolarità della loro morfologia che, malgrado le piccole dimensioni, non ha nulla da invidiare a quella dei più conosciuti Coleotteri. Si tratta di insetti generalmente di piccole dimensioni, pochi millimetri di lunghezza che può arrivare al masimo ai 2 cm. Il carattere morfologico più evidente è l'eccezionale sviluppo del pronoto (la faccia superiore del prototorace degli Insetti), che può giungere a ricoprire l'intero corpo, potendo sviluppare talvolta processi dalle forme bizzarre.
Il palazzo vescovile è un edificio dalle forme romaniche situato in piazza Duomo 1 a Parma, di fronte al Duomo; costituisce la sede della Diocesi di Parma e del Museo diocesano di Parma.
L'ampio palazzo si sviluppa attorno al grande cortile centrale, occupando l'intero isolato.
La lunga facciata principale e quella verso sud sono caratterizzate al piano terreno dal porticato con pilastri in grossi conci di pietra, tamponato in epoca rinascimentale; i livelli superiori sono rivestiti in laterizio e arricchiti, al primo piano, da una serie di notevoli trifore romaniche archivoltate, suddivise da sottili colonnine binate in marmo rosso di Verona; nella porzione nord della facciata principale, all'interno e al di sopra dei timpani delle trifore, sono presenti numerose patere in ceramica. Al secondo livello, a eccezione della porzione nord della facciata, in origine più bassa in quanto ricoperta da un terrazzo, è presente un'ulteriore serie di trifore, di dimensioni minori, oltre a due bifore nella zona centrale. A coronamento dei prospetti corre un alto cornicione rinascimentale in terracotta, che si prolunga anche sulla porzione nord, ove tuttavia è presente anche un elegante cornicione medievale poco più in basso.
Il nucleo più antico, affacciato su vicolo al Vescovado, è interamente rivestito in laterizio ed è caratterizzato dalla torre che si innalza nell'angolo nord-ovest, dall'ampio portale ad arco con cornice in blocchi in pietra d'epoca romana e dalle tracce di bifore.
All'interno il grande cortile è contornato dal porticato rinascimentale a colonne in arenaria del piano terreno, su cui si innalza sui tre lati opposti all'ingresso un elegante loggiato; sono presenti due stemmi del vescovo Sangiorgio sul colonnato e le sue iniziali su numerosi architravi. Sul lato est sono inoltre visibili le tracce di due trifore medievali, una delle quali, ancora decorata a tempera, conserva una colonnina in marmo rosso di Verona e un capitello in pietra.
Il Museo diocesano si apre su un'ala del palazzo su vicolo al Vescovado.

Just beautiful

The Northern Lights of The Aurora Borealis form amazing displays. As humans through identify threat and food we begin to see all sorts of things within all sorts of often none related things. Pareidolia is the term applied to our making sense of shapes and patterns that brings an acceptance of a structure in an image that many will be also able to see such as either a face for instance, or maybe here a Dragon? The Dragon was visible forming and flying on all through one area of The Northern Lights of The Aurora Borealis that were dancing and continually moving.
As for the title, “is it better either One, Number Two, or Three, maybe Four,” would it be of no surprise to mention that I have seen an Optician recently?

Hornbeam foliage forms a veil of green leaded like stained glass with black branches. For how many millennia has the sun illuminated spring leaves for eyes comprehending or otherwise? Just doing the math very roughly, it has been millions of mornings like this, and many thousands in recorded history. But how many of them do you want to see in your life? At this time of year, at similar latitudes, there is one continuous, glorious morning gliding around the planet as it revolves.
And who knows what beauties coalesce silently near where you live every week — enough that the message is the same: go outside! Quick!
There's time to fav this photo when you come back. 😁
A lovely little farmhouse nestled in the idyllic hills of the Palouse.

Christine and I decided we would both use apples a prop and see what we each would come up with. Here is mine, stay tuned for hers!
A subject that I am forever fascinated about are the ways in which we as humans are not so very different from our surroundings. In this photo I am portraying a form rather than submitting to an identity. I am a piece of food, I am an apple, I am nothing more than another figure in the formation.

If you're in Jackson Hole, WY (USA) anywhere between May and early August and you don't shoot the Milky Way over one of the Moulton Barns then you are certainly missing out. Go for it. Get out there and expand your photography knowledge, skills and the depth of your photography content. Don't be afraid of the dark ... take a couple of friends and have a great time with night photography and don't forget to light paint a few other objects throughout Jackson Hole.
The light in the clouds is from the town of Jackson which is about 15 minutes south of this barn.
As time goes on, I will upload other night sky / Milky Way shots I've taken ... I just don't want to upload one after another and bore people to death.

Nightsky / Milky Way photography in Jackson Hole, WY
In 2018, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops. One with Ryan Smith in Arches National Park in March and one in GTNP during the middle of June. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
My 2018 4-5 day photography workshop schedule:
Icons of the Southwest w/Ryan Smith - April 14-18
Jackson Hole, Wyoming spring - June 15-19
Washington, DC Milky Way Monuments - November 7-9
The great part is that in 2018 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.
Do you shoot the Milky Way but need a little help in getting the Milky Way to jump out of your photos ? If so, take a look at my ebook A Photographer's Milky Way Processing Guide - A Photoshop HowTo

Time to chill out to Lara Fabian's song ... Quedate.
Thanks for stopping by.
Yo, hold up, hold up, hold up, okay, hold up
You see a bad bitch coming through, yo, what's the hold up?
I'm in that new new, me and New New when I roll up
I tell the valet, "Park my Benz and bring the Rolls up"
Yo, hold up, hold up, hold up, okay, hold up

Yesterday, the wedding went off without a hitch.
Well, not quite true.
They got hitched.
The weather held true to this last month's form, clear and bright.
Amazingly, there was just a pleasant breeze rather than gale force wind.
There wasn't any wildfire haze.
We were able to commandeer the location at the university our son wanted.
We didn't run afoul of any Pandemic Police.
There were only nine guests. All wore masks. All the various family groups kept distanced.
It was great!
The bride was beautiful.
She and our son got through their vows without too much stammering or obvious nerves.
All of Kim's hard work getting things organized paid off.
She slept well last night!
This morning we treated ourselves to a brief visit to the botanic gardens.
This week will probably be filled with posts peering between branches, looking through slats and various other forms of "shooting through" as that is the theme of the week at The Photo Forum's weekly challenge.
Mountain hares live in Scotland and the North. They graze on vegetation and nibble bark from young trees and bushes. Hares shelter in a ‘form’, which is simply a shallow depression in the ground or heather, but when disturbed, can be seen bounding across the moors using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Mountain hares live in upland areas and are most common on heathland; they are at their most visible in spring, when the snow has melted but the hares are still white.
Behaviour
Mountain hares are grey-brown with a blue tinge in summer and turn white during the winter – only their ear tips stay black. The Irish hare may remain brown even in winter and its coat has a reddish tinge. Mountain hares are larger than rabbits, but smaller than brown hares and have shorter ears.
Size
Length: 60cm
Weight: 4kg
Average lifespan: 4 years
Status
Classified as a Priority Species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
Distribution
Found in the highlands of Scotland and in the Peak District.
When to see
Jan – Dec
Facts
Unlike the brown hare, which is thought to have been introduced by the Celts during the Iron Age, the mountain hare is native to Britain. However, it is only native to the Scottish Highlands and was translocated elsewhere.
La Galería de Víctor Manuel II (o Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, en italiano) es un edificio formado por dos arcadas perpendiculares con bóveda de vidrio que se cruzan formando un octágono; es un espacio singular situado en el lado norte de la Piazza del Duomo en Milán, que conecta con la Piazza della Scala. Su nombre proviene de Vittorio Emanuele II, primer rey de la Italia unificada; la galería fue diseñada originalmente en 1861 y construida por Giuseppe Mengoni entre 1865 y 1877.
La calle está cubierta por unos arcos de cristal y techo de hierro fundido, un diseño popular para arcadas durante el siglo XIX, como la Burlington Arcade de Londres, que fue el prototipo de las grandes galerías comerciales acristaladas, como las Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert en Bruselas (abiertas en 1847), el «Pasaje» en San Petersburgo (abierto en 1848), la Galleria Umberto I de Nápoles (abierta en 1890) y la Galería de Budapest.
El espacio central es octogonal rematado con una cúpula de cristal. La Galería de Milán es mayor que sus predecesoras y se considera un paso importante en la evolución del moderno centro comercial acristalado y cerrado, del cual fue el precursor directo. Además, es responsable del uso del término «galería» en el contexto de los centros comerciales. El uso de la estructura de hierro inspiró también la Torre Eiffel, en París.
La Galería conecta dos famosos monumentos de Milán: la catedral o Duomo y el Teatro de La Scala; pero, la Galería, es un hito en sí misma.
Tiendas, restaurantes y hoteles
La Galería es a menudo apodada il salotto di Milano, o «el salón de Milán», debido a sus numerosas tiendas y su importancia como punto de encuentro para compras, comidas.
Más de 130 años después de su inauguración, la galería de cuatro pisos incluye elegantes tiendas que ofrecen desde alta costura y joyas hasta libros y pinturas, así como restaurantes, cafeterías y bares. Directamente comunicado con la Galería Víctor Manuel II, está el hotel de súper–lujo Town House Galleria, que ofrece las habitaciones y servicios más exclusivos (y más caros) de la ciudad. La Galería es famosa por alojar algunos de los establecimientos más antiguos de Milán, como el histórico Café Biffi, fundado en 1867 por Paolo Biffi, Chef Pastelero de Su Majestad y (en 1882) el primer café de Milán que instaló alumbrado eléctrico, el sofisticado restaurante Savini, la platería Bernasconi y el modernista bar Zucca.
