Looks like sunset on Mars .;-))

Gustav Holst, Owain Arwel Hughes - The Planets, Op. 32: I. Mars, the Bringer of War
We extended our trip by one day to include two different parks that I haven't visited before. Goblin Valley State Park is just North of Capitol Reef National Park by an hour or so so I had to make the stop. It was early morning and the light was harsh, but I was still able to come away with a few keepers.
I was able to capture this gentleman standing among the goblins. It felt like a different world. One that I had dreamed of or seen on like Star Trek or some kind of Sci-Fi movie. I could only dream of far off planets like Mars.
On April 30 I had a lovely chat with friendly visitors from space and I even could sneek a peek into their cockpit and take an image of it ! You see the captain of the crew.
Unfortunaltely this space ship was too small for me to hop in myself ... but it was a fun encounter nonetheless !
Crazy Tuesday - theme of May 3rd, 2022: Made of Plastic
This is actually the plastic head of a reusable metal cocktail stick for finger food; taken in front of the keyboard of my tablet with internal lighting switched on; additional lighting with a coloured LED-light
[ taken with the manual Laowa 60mm 2x magnification lens @ about f/4; the "head"' is about 2.5 cm high ]
I will catch up in the evening ! :)

Am 30. April hatte ich ein nettes Gespräch mit freundlichen Besuchern aus dem All und konnte sogar einen Blick in ihr Cockpit werfen und Aufnahmen davon machen ! Ihr seht den Kapitän der Crew.
Leider war das Raumschiff zu klein für mich, um einzusteigen ... dennoch: eine lustige Begegnung !
Crazy Tuesday - Thema: aus Plastik gemacht / Plastik
Das ist tatsächlich ein Cocktail-Spieß / Partyspießchen für Fingerfood (wiederverwendbar mit Metallspieß und witzigen Plastikfigürchen als Kopf; es sind insgesamt 8 verschiedene in der Packung), die Tastatur meines Tablets mit eingeschalteter Beleuchtung im Hintergrund und zusätzliche Beleuchtung durch farbiges (rotes) LED-Licht
I have high hopes that one day a Mars rover will uncover something like this set of fossilised terrestrial ammonites!
I created a few centimetres of Mars in our dining room with a block of fossils, LED lights and ground coffee. I now have a piece of ancient rock that smells of Starbucks.
Dans un quartier en plein développement (la Joliette) un building en construction, juste à côté du magnifique bâtiment de Zaha Hadid, se remarque par le jeu de couleurs, à mon sens assez réussi.
Mars Animation photo...
Valles Marineris, Noctis Labirinthus and north polar cap are clearly visible. The volcanoes Olympus, Arsia, Pavonis and Ascraeus Mons can be seen on the center right.... on the upper left the thin film of Mars atmosphere is also visible.
Realising yesterday that Mars Mission is fifteen years old meant I suddenly had to build another Claw Tank tribute. This one is moving away from the original set and into a more GI Joe design, big and chonk, equal parts aggressive and goofy. I had the large orange treaded WIP lying around for ages (a failed Hibernia digger) so most of that got remixed into this monstrosity.
iPhone 8 - Let this be a lesson to all of you. Never leave your camera behind during a disaster even if it is just to run over and pick up a couple of burgers. I rarely rarely rarely ever take a photo with my iPhone because they just don't have the quality. Then I spend a lot of time in Photoshop cleaning up ratty JPEG artifacts and related garbage.
This was taken on the night of September 8th.
NB: I revised the photo several hours after I first posted it. I had another image which I merged with the original and expanded the picture horizontally. This I spent some time polishing it.
Thanks for the likes!! Quick shot from this morning. Wanted to get them before the clouds roll in the weekend.
Imagine this. Year 2056. Humans have long since established themselves on Mars and terraforming is starting to show resault. You are one of the crew members who has just arrived. At first sign of daylight, you climb up to the observation post in the bunker in which you live and this is what you see.
Or this; in 1840 they found nickel in this area. 10-15 man worked in a small mine nearby. The ore, that you see here, were stored and transported by horse to the sea during wintertime. It was then shipped to Great Britan and used in the productions of coins. The mine company was shut down after about 60 years of operation.
2550 AD. Mars is finally a colonized planet, scientists have managed to create an atmosphere where we humans can breathe normally and so explore new horizons as we can see it in this picture taken by an AI automated surveillance device, where a couple of young explorers enjoy a pleasurable ballad along the coastline.

Life on Mars? NASA says planet appears to have flowing water...
What will come out of this planet do not know, call it Earth's twin, I dare not think what has happened to....
I know it's enough worry about Our Planet, but the universe is too fascinating to me ....
