A revisit of possibly the best sunset I have ever seen. Whilst I have posted photos of this boat previously, none have had this little water around it.
a glance, a flicker, a moment half-seen. on the left, a reflection—a woman’s gaze caught in the shimmer of glass. on the right, a woman in pink, present and tangible, the anchor to this layered reality. the café becomes a boundary, not just of glass, but of perception, where lives intersect and overlap without touching. light dances on surfaces, and the ordinary becomes layered with mystery. reflections are whispers of stories untold, while the real unfolds quietly in the warmth of the café.
Some lovely cloud reflections on the River Forth at low tide today. Managed a walk over the bridge and back - about 3 km round trip. Highlight of the trip was a pair of Peregrine working the Feral Pigeons on the bridge structure. Didn't see the kill itself but one was successful. Needless to say my lens has now been repairs but has not yet been returned but these were the first shots with the repaired camera. Longannet Power Station on the left and Grangemouth straight ahead
See the reflections magical power
As they swim behind the flower
Dancing with the light , that did fall
Past the trees, wild and tall
On the pond, as the magical power
Of the reflections, shining beyond the flower
Reflection nebulae reflect the light from nearby stars. The stars that illuminate them aren’t powerful enough to ionize the nebula’s gas, as with emission nebulae, but their light scatters through the gas and dust causing it to glow ? like a flashlight beam shining on mist in the dark.
Because of the way light scatters when it hits the fine dust of the interstellar medium, these reflection nebulae are often bluish in color.
A reflection nebula called NGC 1999 lies close to the famous Orion Nebula, about 1,500 light-years from Earth. The nebula is illuminated by a bright, recently formed star called V380 Orionis, and the gas and dust of the nebula is material left over from that star’s formation. A second well-known reflection nebula is illuminated by the Pleiades star cluster. Most nebulae around star clusters consist of material that the stars formed from. But the Pleiades shines on an independent cloud of gas and dust, drifting through the cluster at about 6.8 miles/second (11 km/s).
