(No, not really - this is a ruby red grapefruit up close and backlit with a torch)
"Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast." - Douglas Adams
If you think you understand the meaning of this quote, please please let me know, as I am racking my brains ;D
(Douglas Adams was a genius!)

Ich wünsche allen einen schönen Samstag!
I started with a "sphere" as my chosen word .... and ended with a solar storm!

Solar Powered Leo cat is soaking up the sunshine on a cold day, he did turn over a few times, shot in North Carolina.
Today (25Oct22) we could see a partial solar eclipse from The Netherlands.
I used a 10 + 6 stops filter to create this capture.
Have a great day, cheers!
Location Hellevoetsluis, The Netherlands

A lonely road leads to the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in the California desert near the Nevada border.
On the chance I could capture a different location at high tide and sunset, I went over to the shore only to find that the tide wasn't nearly high enough for what I wanted and the sun was in the totally wrong place. As I had made the three-minute arduous expedition to the shore anyway, I played around with a few long exposures of the waves over the shore rocks and was just about to pack up when I decided I might as well wait and see if the sky did anything interesting as the sun was going down - then got lucky with this lovely 'solar flare' effect. Shot as a vertical pano to get in the foreground rocks and the sky.

Solar power plant covers 25.000 m2 and is composed of 6.777 solar pannels. It was inaugurated in octobre 2021 by Enovos. Arcelor Mittal owns the lake which formerly was used to cool down a steel mine. Projet manager was Éric Golinelli and Solar lake produces 3 GWH/year electricity for 3.200 inhabitants or 800 homes.
lunar eclipse is near
but here comes the one and only solar eclipse of today :-)
ok, it's a chandelier found in Casa Batll, Barcelona
Mt Coolum taken from east side of Mt Ninderry. It was another 3 am start to see the sunrise from the top of Ninderry but it was too overcasted and the sunrise was a non event. Slightly disapointed with the pictures we had taken so far we decided to pack up and go. Just as we were about to leave the sun light started to filtrate from between the clouds giving this amazing view. One of the ironic things about this picture is that the sun started to shine quite strongly in the area where the new Sunshine Coast Solar Farm (Valdora) is being built. Good spot for a solar farm I say.
Marina Park, Alviso, CA
The drought in California continues. We rarely see a lot of cloud under solar halo in the sky.
加州乾旱已經好多年了，平常很難看到日暈和多雲同時出現於天空。
火車已經想不出甚麼點子了，請大家將就著點看吧！ :-)
Le Solar Orbiter, fruit d'une collaboration internationale entre la NASA et l' Agence spatiale européenne (ESA), a été lancé en février 2020. Depuis, il a acquis des données qui aident les astronomes à mieux comprendre la volatilité de la surface solaire et à prévoir les tempêtes solaires.
Grâce à ses dix instruments de pointe, il s'agit du laboratoire scientifique le plus complexe jamais envoyé par l'humanité vers notre étoile la plus proche. L'un de ses plus grands exploits à ce jour est d'avoir obtenu la plus large vue haute résolution du Soleil jamais réalisée.

Aided by its 10 state-of-the-art instruments, it is the most complex scientific laboratory sent by humankind to our nearest star. One of its biggest feats to date is having taken the widest high-resolution view of the sun ever achieved.

There once was a bear
kind of polar
who was powered up largely
by solar.
If the truth would be tol'
she wished to see the South Pole
So then people could call her
bipolar.

We're all taking note of the excessive amount of sunshine we've been having lately but clearly robin can't get enough of it as he/she is out there every afternoon fluffing feathers and stretching out to absorb maximum Vitamin D.
Solarization or the Sabattier Effect is the process of re-exposing photographic paper during the development process. The result is an eerie silver image that contains light lines between the shadows and the highlighted areas. In this case I just slid the Dehaze slider down to the hazy end in Adobe Raw Convertor. It works most on the dark branches and makes the Spring green new leaves just a little hazy. Thanks if you have the time for a comment.
Couldn't help but notice how flat this Swallowtail was holding his wings - like solar panels to soak up all the suns warmth and energy possible.
It was almost noontime and already the day was sweltering hot so it probably didn't take too long to get all charged up.
Seen in the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails Nature Center.

Este fenómeno atmosférico se produce cuando la luz del sol atraviesa diminutos cristales de hielo que se encuentran suspendidos en la parte alta de la atmósfera de la Tierra, lo que produce que la luz solar se disperse de una manera peculiar y de lugar a la formación de un aro de colores (similar a un arco iris)
Student parking at Michigan State University at night. MSU has installed solar panels in 5 parking lots to create the largest solar installation in the State of Michigan (peak power 10.5 MW). Half moon is in the sky between the arrays.
I revisited my Solar Eclipse photos and processed a photo to draw out as much detail of the solar corona as possible. A solar eclipse is the only time most people (including myself) have seen the outer layer of the sun. An added benefit was that Regulus can be seen at the lower left in the photo. Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo -- where it marks the heart of the beast. The moon is 1.25 light-seconds from Earth, the Sun is 8 light-minutes from Earth and Regulus is 79 light-years from Earth.
