Hidden Beach, Redwood National Park
The Hidden Beach, as it turned out, was a true hidden gem. The entire beach was ours to explore, and the driftwood, the fog, and oscillating waves were an otherworldly view. What a fantastic way to end our trip to this mesmerizing place!
The swirls of the galaxy IC 1776 stand in splendid isolation in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy lies over 150 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pisces.
IC 1776 recently played host to a catastrophically violent explosion — a supernova — which was discovered in 2015 by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, a robotic telescope which scours the night sky in search of transient phenomena such as supernovae. A network of automatic robotic telescopes are spread across the globe, operated by both professional and amateur astronomers, and, without human intervention, reveal short-lived astronomical phenomena such as wandering asteroids, gravitational microlensing, or supernovae.
Hubble investigated the aftermath of the supernova SN 2015ap during two different observing programmes, both designed to comb through the debris left by supernovae explosions in order to better understand these energetic events. A variety of telescopes automatically follow up the detection of supernovae to obtain early measurements of these events’ brightnesses and spectra. Complementing these measurements with later observations which reveal the lingering energy of supernovae can shed light on the systems which gave rise to these cosmic cataclysms in the first place.
[Image description: A spiral galaxy. It is irregularly-shaped and its spiral arms are difficult to distinguish. The edges are faint and the core has a pale yellow glow. It is dotted with small, wispy, blue regions where stars are forming. A few stars and small galaxies in warm colours are visible around it.]

I'm crazy about crossing fashion photography with architectural photography. I guess this photo is me starting to think about that in a very simple way. Kind of a study.
Things I learned today ... A chair is a serviceable stand-in, when composing an indoor shot including oneself on the floor. And a floor lamp serves actually quite well for standing shots.
Constructive criticism always welcome!

Port Arthur, former convict settlement in Tasmania ...
From 1833, until the 1850s, it was the destination for the hardest of convicted British and Irish criminals, those who were secondary offenders having re-offended after their arrival in Australia.

Taken recently at Rhossili Beach - I couldn't decide which shot I preferred to thought I would upload all three! The building on the right of the picture is the Old Rectory which is now owned by the National Trust and is rented out as a holiday home. It is my dream place to live! The only way to get vehicle access is via a bumpy track from Rhossili village - poor postman!
Discussing our intention to climb The Nuns Veil with the boat driver just before being dropped off and he says "So you're heading left along the moraine and then up that valley?" Ah no...We're heading right! Nothing like a bit of doubt to start the trip when you're about to be dropped off.
Pulling up next to the rocky wall the leisure ride was all but over. We got to it without delay and unloaded the gear carefully across the water and stashed the food drop loosely under a rock. It was time to cut the ties to civilisation and start this trip in ernest.
The boat reversed out and sped away and in that moment the feeling of exhilaration and excitement came flooding in. That feeling that comes with being dropped off in an isolated wilderness with just yourselves and adventure in your sights!
As a side to this, it is also a sobering thought that on this day, the same day we were planning to fly up to Tasman Saddle Hut, that just over the other side of the range only a short distance away, a helicopter crashed on the glacier killing all seven on board. www.news.com.au/world/fox-glacier-new-zealand-helicopter-... What a tragedy...
