Darkness falls over Bressay and Noss as LK174 Avrella, a whitefish trawler, returns to port in Lerwick.
A second take on processing this famous nebula...
This is a large object in the sky! The field of view of this image is 3.5 degrees. If you could put a string of full moons in a row you could fit 7 across here. This is my first time using two 200mm lenses. One with a color and the other with a monochrome camera with narrowband filters. I only have 2 of the three narrowband filters I need... still waiting for my Sulphur filter so I can try to get Hubble colors...
from science.nasa: "Caldwell 20 is a stunning example of an emission nebula. The clouds of gas that make up the nebula are being ionized by a nearby star, causing the gas to glow as it emits energy. Colors emitted by emission nebulae depend on the chemical composition of the region. The reddish color that is characteristic of hydrogen and dominates Caldwell 20."

interesting sandstone forms in the lower Antelope Slot Canyon outside of Page Arizona, What do you see?
This is called a slot canyon, a narrow rift in the sandstone which can be 35' deep and at times almost too narrow to walk through. Other area's the canyon widens out to 20 ~30 feet. The sandstone swirls are formed by flooding water and wind currents over many many years. The Canyon featured is called "Lower Antelope Canyon" and Lower and Upper are both located just 5 miles east of Page Arizona

Kinderdijk, Netherlands.
This sunrise last October at Kinderdijk was certainly one of my most intense experiences. We arrived long before dawn, and the whole scenery was covered in mist and the windmills were hardly visible. No one was around to disturb the eerie atmosphere.

Charleston Farmhouse and Garden, located on the South Downs outside the village of Firle, near Alfriston, East Sussex, was the home or weekend and holiday retreat of Bloomsbury Group figures Vanessa Bell and Clive Bell, Vanessa’s companion Duncan Grant, and Vanessa’s children, Quentin and Julian, from 1916 until the 1960’s. On a Friday afternoon in July, we toured Charleston with Flickr contact Penwren, who graciously met us in Alfriston and first showed us the village and church in Firle, where Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Quentin Bell are buried.
Photography is not allowed in the house itself, so these pictures are of the garden only. The house itself was indescribable, with every square inch covered in enchanting Modernist artwork of all kinds, and the guided tour, lasting over an hour, was outstandingly well presented and informative.
Penwren added the following comment to one of the pictures in this set: Sir Peter Shepheard, in charge of the restoration (of the garden in the 1980’s), has described it as an "apotheosis of the traditional English cottage garden." He wrote notes to remind himself to "avoid neatness". Like the house, it was not intended to be tasteful or restrained. Interestingly, the garden has been organic since the 80s.
The story of Charleston and its occupants is told very well in the book Charleston, a Bloomsbury House and Garden, by Quentin Bell and his daughter, Virginia Nicholson (Frances Lincoln – paperback edition 2004). Alibris.com had numerous copies available in August, 2008 at: www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=1025402 &matches=16&a...
We also enjoyed two small books published by Snake River Press and available by mail or in person at the excellent Much Ado Books in Alfriston: Bloomsbury in Sussex, and 20 Sussex Gardens (https://muchadobooks.com)
The list of visitors reads like a Who's Who of English intellectual and artistic life in the first half of the 20th Century: Leonard and Virginia Woolf (Vanessa's sister), Lytton Strachey, John Maynard Keynes, T.S. Elliot, Benjamin Britten are just a few.
The alarm today went off at 5am, over two hours before sunrise. The reason for the early alarm was the drive to Canyonlands National Park and the ensuing walk to Mesa Arch would take nearly an hour and I wanted to be able to plant my tripod before everyone else arrived. Driving out of Moab the streets were void of traffic and after turning onto the road leading to Canyonlands there weren’t any headlights in the rearview mirror or were there taillights visible ahead. I was confident that I had departed at an appropriately early enough time.
After entering the National Park I noticed a few taillights ahead of me in the distance. “OK, I guess there may be a few early risers there,” I thought. How wrong I was, for as I crested the rise in the dark with my headlamp guiding my way along the path to Mesa Arch I could hear many voices coming from ahead. I wasn’t alone and it wasn’t just a couple of early risers either. There were already 15 to 20 tripods with accompanying cameras and photographers set up waiting for sunrise! Fortunately, the location I had scouted out the day prior was still available, so I joined the masses and added my tripod and camera to the mix. Note to self: rethink the starting time for my next visit!
The beauty of the sunrise here is something one truly needs to witness in person. As the sun broke the horizon the first sunburst occurred, but the best was yet to come. Initially there is the lack of reflected light on the underside of Mesa Arch. But as the sun continued to rise and began to cross the underside of the arch a 2nd sunburst occurred while the reflected light illuminated the underbelly of the arch turning the sandstone a glowing red. While some photographers had already started packing up, the patience of ‘waiting for the light’ was rewarded with this image.
Highlighted by the rising sun is the Washer Woman (derived from its resemblance of a tall and slender woman reaching her hands into a tub) and to its right is the taller Monster Tower. Washer Woman and Monster Tower are each over 600 feet tall. Behind the Washer Woman is the Sandcastle.
This is the second image I’ve posted from that wonderful morning, but this one was taken moments earlier than the previous one. The sunburst is larger in this image as the sun has yet to rise high enough to be partially hidden by the arch.
From the earlier image, Kathleen had commented . . . “I can see an Indian lying in repose, hand in his lap and his legs crossed........lying in the opening, do you see him?” Yes, I could! Can you?
