Daucus carota flowers occur in many weedy areas in my local wetlands. They have these large umbels with very small individual flowers with an intricate cage-like seed head once pollinated.

From a sunrise shoot with friend and fellow Flickr photographer Archie McCafferty.
The lace patterns in the foreground rocks intrigued me.
The geological features in this rock are so elaborate that one might think it was done by an abstract artist.
Jodhpur, the blue city.
Jaswant Thada is a marble structure built by Maharaja Sardar Singh in 1899 to commemorate his father. The royal cenotaphs are milky white marble and the architecture understated yet elegant and intricate.
A Dark Beauty from the Southern Sky
This deep image captures the stunning dark nebulae and reflection clouds of the Corona Australis molecular complex, one of the nearest and most visually striking star-forming regions in the sky. Located roughly 420 light-years away, this region is a dramatic mix of dark dust filaments, blue reflection nebulae, and scattered young stars.
Prominently featured is NGC 6729, a blue reflection/emission nebula surrounding young variable stars R CrA and T CrA, which are still in the early stages of stellar evolution. The intricate brownish dust lanes weaving across the frame obscure background starlight and trace the structure of cold molecular gas, a raw material for future star formation. Nearby lies the globular cluster NGC 6723, providing a striking contrast to the dusty clouds.
The Corona Australis molecular cloud complex lies only ~420 light-years away, making it one of the nearest regions of low-mass star formation. NGC 6729, near R CrA, is home to several Herbig-Haro objects (HH 96, HH 97, HH 100, etc.), an energetic jets and outflows from newborn stars colliding with surrounding gas and dust. These shocks are key indicators of ongoing accretion and stellar birth.
NGC 6723 is a globular cluster consisting of tens of thousands of ancient stars gravitationally bound in a spherical halo. It likely formed during the earliest stages of the Milky Way’s assembly, making it more than 30 times older than the young stars in the Corona Australis cloud just a few degrees away on the sky.
Although the cluster visually appears embedded in the same dusty field, NGC 6723 lies much farther in the background, behind the Corona Australis dark cloud, it lies ~28,400 light-years aways.
Captured remotely from the southern skies using Martin Pugh’s observatory in Australia. Fully remote operation via N.I.N.A., managed as part of our SkyFlux Team rental.
This project reflects the power of remote astrophotography, planned, executed, and processed from thousands of kilometers away. The depth and detail of this image were made possible by combining meticulous planning with access to a dark southern site and using advanced PixInsight workflow.

Tangerine by Led Zeppelin
I took this for the science challenge but seeing that I missed it, am repurposing this. I love Led Zeppelin but must admit that this is not my favourite track by them. If you like classic rock, may I suggest Led Zeppelin IV . From start to end, sheer aural pleasure. Kids these days would never understand the joy of listening to a whole album, one track flowing into the next.

Hudson Yards, New York
From The Vessel's website:
The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings – the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.
Decorate your stride with 'Flower VIII' from HDesign, a BOM leg tattoo that radiates a serene yet intricate beauty. This stunning piece features a central lotus in full bloom, complemented by geometric patterns and dainty symbols, available in 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% opacities, with a mirrored version for a balanced aesthetic on your SecondLife avatar.
