Olafsfjordur, one of Iceland's Northfjords, in a panoramic view on a glorious day of seasonal change in May, the mountains still remaining in deep winter while the weather claims its Spring :)
One of the many pictures that I took of the northern lights show last Saturday along the Denali highway.
Tulipa 'Blue Spectacle' from the inside out. "Somehow" a crate full of tulips from the Lyman Conservatory Bulb Show ended up at my house... :)

We are going to get our tree tomorrow so in light of that excitement I thought I might share this little guy, who is also going to get their Christmas tree. :)
As the afternoon rolled on, the late sun and clouds were casting their shadows around.

No Group Banners, thanks.
This time of the year is great for Aurora photography. In this image I captured the Sunset and Sunrise basically at the same time. The Sunset a 9:54pm last night. Today's sunrise was at 5:59am. The light from the the setting sun was visible until 1am, which is when the light from the rising sun started to increase. Added bonus an interesting foreground and the Auroras.
A direct, and concise, message illustrated on a crumbling abandoned church located on Oregon's Warm Springs Indian Reservation by an anonymous prophet.
Happy Sliders Sunday, everyone!
A quick peak out of our hotel window in the middle of the night revealed this amazing light show going on in the night sky.
Ashland , Wisconsin
I was up one morning at the mountain church at protaras, it took some planning but i got my sun where i wanted it to be :)
I am on instagram to follow me for more great photos add the comment flickr and i will follow back :
BRIDGE NAME: Pass Creek Covered Bridge
COUNTY: Douglas
STREAM: Pass Creek
NEAREST TOWN: Drain
STATUS: Closed to all traffic
BRIDGE LENGTH: 61 Feet
YEAR BUILT: 1876 (Original)
REPLACED: 1925 (1906)
REPAIRED: 1969
CLOSED TO TRAFFIC: 1981
RELOCATED: 1987 - 1988
CLOSED TO PEDESTRIANS: 2014
Other Notes: The Pass Creek Covered Bridge is located in Drain, Oregon, and although the official date of construction of the bridge is 1925, members of the Umpqua Historic Preservation Society say the bridge was built in 1906, according to Oregon Department of Transportation. It originally carried stagecoaches over Pass Creek before being moved a few hundred feet from its original location in 1987 and reassembled behind the Drain Civic Center.
In 2014 the city closed the deteriorating bridge completely.
The city is looking for funding to restore the bridge to pedestrian traffic.
The cherry blossoms had first started blooming and the sun was out. It was a beautiful start to another spring.

You don't have to wait long for the sunrise this time of the year. I was out shooting the auroras for a couple of hours before the light from the sun started to illuminate the horizon. This was shot on the morning of 4/28/2022, near Glacier View, Alaska.
I am uploading this now on the 3rd anniversary of the "Great American Eclipse," August 21, 2017, the first total solar eclipse on the continental United States since the 1970s. At this time three years ago, I was in the middle of a marathon of a trip that saw a lot of last-minute scrambling, standing in the heat in tiny Spring City, Tennessee, watching as the sky got darker and darker. It was also my first, and last, time eating at Krystal.

This was at the peak of the storm while I was out at this location. The lights were so bright that I didn't even need my flashlight.
Had to make a U-turn when we spotted this scene. A tricky spot but managed to get a few shots. Lamar River, Yellowstone National Park.
Taken a couple of years ago during an awesome geomagnetic storm. I used my older 50D for this shot. The night sky lights up the standing water on a farmer's field.
With hurricane Ophelia arriving in British Isles. With the unusal coloured skies as seen from our back garden, I photographed the setting sun at around 5pm. I could see a small sunspot & flare coming off sun's limb at 3 o'clock position (on the sun). Click to enlarge :)

A rare "close-up" photograph of one of the many solar flares on Papyrus, the sun of the Charta-spissa solar system. "Close-up" in this planetary context means that it was taken at a distance of 2:1 million kilometers from Papyrus. The photographic material was commissioned by me and provided by Roby, intergalactic traveller, cake lover, and UFO sightings creator, or should I say perpetrator (whenever she is visiting our solar system she simply can't resist causing some UFO sightings for the records). Some of you might remember Roby, and for more info on her, please see the first comment.
Solar flares on a star like Papyrus might sound like a contradiction – given the material this star and all the planets of Charta-spissa consist of – but, in reality, are not. Due to Papyrus' specific surface properties, its flares are extremely long-lasting, slow, and cold. To the untrained eye, they might even appear permanent. So Roby had all the time in the world to choose the prettiest of the many Papyrus flares and properly set my (I lent it to her) camera and extreme zoom lens ("Why can't I shoot in "P" mode, Silke?" "Because "P" mode is boring, Roby." "But your camera is sooo complicated!" "When you come back, you get an extra Pastel de Nata with lots of Dulce de Leche on top for your efforts, Roby, I promise.").
As for Papyrus' surface properties: This is one of the cardboard "reflectors" I use to help illuminate my macro photos. This one is small and round, and it was part of a small chocolate cardboard box I once got as a present. The, rather thin (1 mm / 0,039 inches), cardboard is laminated on both sides (gold and silver, I believe it's thin foil that is used for lamination), just like cake (or fish packaging) board. I used the gold-coated side which I "coloured" red with the help of the translucent red plastic chocolate box lid and an LED lamp. I also used my small LED Lenser flashlight (set on spotlight), handheld from the right, which created/brought out the web-like golden pattern.
Now I was a little unsure if it still counts as "Paper" if it's laminated (although technically, it still is because it's the main material), but the part in focus, the "flares", are pure paper: two small frays on the cardboard's edge that slightly protrude from it. So I think (hope) my photo is within the theme's requirements. The bigger of the two "flares" is 2 mm / 0,078 inches long. It's a single shot taken with the Laowa Ultra Macro lens at a little less than 2:1 magnification.
I'll catch up with you later.
HMM, Everyone!
The x-rays from flares are stopped by our atmosphere well above the Earth's surface. They do disturb the Earth's ionosphere, however, which in turn disturbs radio communications. Along with energetic ultraviolet radiation, they heat the Earth's outer atmosphere, causing it to expand.

Northern Lights looking towards Braintree Essex 10.05.2024.
I was about to go to sleep when my partner mentioned that sightingings of the Northern lights were being seen over southern England. I got a picture with my smart phone camera from our bathroom window and we live in the center of a city with huge light polution!
We packed up the camera and tripod and heading to the countryside north of our city and spent and enjoyable night photgraphing the spectacle!

Sun Erupts With Significant Flare
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash on the right side – on Sept. 10, 2017. The image shows a combination of wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares, which has then been colorized.
