Welcome to the 'Night Shift'. At 'The Rocks', Sydney.
This image is from my night-time photographic trek around Sydney.
The photograph was taken at approximately 11.10pm.
See the clock tower in the photograph.
This is the view looking over Cumberland and Argyle Streets.

And here's Quarterflash with a live version of their 1982 song 'Night Shift', from the movie 'Night Shift' starring Henry Winkler & Shelley Long:

The same dramatic sunset cloud patterns that I showed recently from Heather Farm Pond, are here viewed from the Countrywood/Bancroft neighborhood of Walnut Creek, California.
After dark, a Norfolk Southern motor is sitting at Control Point Andorra on the point of a manifest bound for the yard around a mile down.
Earlier that day, I had caught up with a manifest bound for Roseville with an interesting set of power. Leading the way, an NS C40-9W in the road's old scheme. Trailing behind this, a BNSF GEVO and fresh UP ACM rebuild. Unfortunately, by the time I had found the manifest the lighting was absolutely horrible, and to top things off it would tie down at the furthest south siding on the line, Sunset Whitney. At the time, there was no way to know when there would be a crew to yard the train, but within a couple hours we had a time, but it was going to be after dark.
I headed down to the Roseville station to get a shot of the lead motor passing the Tower Theater, however, after awhile it never showed up. I knew they had departed Sunset Whitney some time earlier, which meant it could only be at one of two places, Control Point Andorra or Sierra. It was made clear very quick it was not at Sierra so I headed to Andorra to find the train sitting with a red signal ahead. Walking over to the head end, I proceeded to get a couple night shots of the lead motor before heading back to the station to wait. Unfortunately, it was getting late, and after awhile of waiting the train never showed. Not knowing when it was going to move again, I headed home, and it was still sitting at Andorra when I left.
With these older NS GEs becoming rarer and rarer as time passes, I decided to see what had happened to this unit since I took this photo in 2022. After being sent to Wabtec, it had become part of a C6M order that would never be delivered to Norfolk Southern, ending up at Ferromex as FXE 4917. Maybe one of these days I'll get a photo of the 9662 under its new owner, and new look.
The famous lighthouse on Denmark's west coast has an exciting history. Inaugurated in 1900, it was hit by a shifting dune just ten years later. In 1968, the lighthouse had to stop operating because its light could no longer be seen from the sea. In 2012, the shifting dune completely passed the lighthouse and has been moving north ever since. However, the sea was now increasingly becoming a threat to the lighthouse. There was a risk that it could tip over if it crashed onto the coast. Therefore, it was moved 70 meters inland in 2019.

Happy Macro Monday!
Beautiful scenery awaits as you leave Anchorage on the Seward Hwy and head toward the Kenai Peninsula. The Turnagain Arm is a body of water that has the unusual phenomenon of bore tides. The sandbars dotted against the beautiful blue of the water make a striking effect. Add the mountain backdrop and you've got a winner!
Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.

It’s been a while since I took my Tilt Shift lens out for a spin, and so when a friend of mine acquired a Shift lens of his own and wanted to test it out, I decided to bring my own along. And so we found ourselves in Beverley, prior to sunset, shooting the historic Minster.
As is often the case with me, I’d not actually shot the Minster before, other than as part of a wedding shoot a number of years ago. During that session I got the opportunity to get up into the Organ Loft to capture the Bridal Precession, which was a great experience.
And so having captured some of the more traditional shots of the building I moved to the south side to get this image with the sun in shot.

"Expedients are for an hour, but principles are for the ages. Just because the rains descend and winds blow, we cannot afford to build on shifting sands." ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Please enjoy the shoreline sands in Large. Thank you so much for your visit!
Had to readjust my angle on these rocks there that morning to get a nice view of the ever changing lighting in the sky. I centered this up on the rocks, and it aligned well with the sky 2/3 color making a nice imbalance that I think was needed to offset the centering of the jetty.
The resulting lighting on the beach and water was dreamy too. Such a great time of day ;)
