Happy day! :)
The One Mile Telescope is an abandoned or disused telescope located near Cambridge. I had two cameras running star trail sequences last night, this was the 2nd shot with a Sony 20-70mm lens at 20mm.
I didn't care much for the fence line below the telescope so I cropped and excluded it. The telescope itself was lit from overhead by drone.
An epic night, if very cold stood in the middle of nowhere waiting for the sequence to finish.
45 minutes' worth of 30 second exposures.

The True Roses
The most popular ornamentals of the family, and among the most esteemed of all cultivated plants, are the true roses. Rosa occurs indigenously in the north temperate zone and in tropical mountain areas, usually as erect or climbing shrubs with five-petaled fragrant flowers. Sometimes the foliage also is fragrant, as in the European sweetbrier , or eglantine. From many of the wild species have been developed the large number of cultivated varieties and hybrids having single or double blossoms that range in color from white and yellow to many shades of pink and red. Since many species are highly variable and hybridize easily, the classification of Rosa is sometimes difficult, and the wild type of some modern forms is not always known.
The rose has been a favorite flower in many lands since prehistoric times. It appears in the earliest art, poetry, and tradition. It has been used in innumerable ways in decoration. In ancient times it was used medically—Pliny lists 32 remedies made of its petals and leaves. Formerly it was eaten in salads and conserves. It was sacred to Aphrodite and was a favorite flower of the Romans, who spread its culture wherever their armies conquered. Among the old species are the cabbage rose and the damask rose, both native to the Caucasus; the latter especially is cultivated for the perfume oil attar of roses . The famous roses of England include the white rose that was the emblem of the house of York and the red rose of the house of Lancaster in the Wars of the Roses. The rambler rose, frequently grown on trellises and porches, and the tea and hybrid tea roses are of more recent origin, the result of modern rose culture, which really began when the East India Company's ships brought new everblooming or monthly roses from the Orient.
The rose is the emblem of England and the national flower of the United States. It is the official flower of New York state; the wild rose, of Iowa; the prairie rose, of North Dakota; and the American Beauty, of the District of Columbia. Practical uses of roses, besides their importance as a source of perfume, include a delicate-flavored jelly made from the fruits, called rose hips, of some wild species. Thorny rambling roses, such as the Oriental multiflora rose, are much used as hedge and erosion control plants in agriculture, highway landscaping, and wildlife preserves.

California (2020)
tiny hummingbird seen out back under the patio cover on a fishing net. It was very small and I suspect it might have been a baby on an early outing.
This was a super rare chance to see the original deco-esque paintings that Crowley created with artist Harris reflected his own dark weird take on the deck based around his self created magick religion Thoth. The kind of work you would never expect to see in Venice which is what made it so inspiring.
We found this Female Moose and her newborn calf next to a fast moving stream. While trying to get that perfect shot we got to close and the Moose moved from her spot and walked across that stream. The newborn followed Mom and was quickly swept away in the current. We watched the calf struggling for life in that water as it was taken around a corner and out of sight. Soon someone shouted that the calf had made it out of the water. Not long after that the female Moose found her calf and they were reunited. The sun warmed the calf and eventually dried it off from that freezing water. All in all I was sick knowing I had a part in putting that calf through this.
Wow! One Hundred Years has just become my 99th photo in Flickr Explore.....out by one, should've been #100 for pure poetic justice!

ONE HUNDRED YEARS
My grandfather (Pop) was born on 16th March 1915 - one hundred years ago today.
In the first photograph he is taking his self-portrait whilst stationed in India & Burma during WWII. The inscription on the back says:
"In the bungalow after dark. Slightly underexposed, but only an experiment.
How's about that Dave?"
The second photo was taken some time in 1967, probably during the summer as I have a suntan on my legs.
Third photograph is me, continuing the tradition of the selfie into the 21st century...
