Comet C 2014 E2 Jacques can be seen moving up through Cassiopeia over a period of about three and a half hours, before it disappears into the dawn sky. If you watch carefully you should spot a couple of satellites shoot across frame.

Or at least the solar system. At least, the solar system through Neptune. After all, no one wants Uranus on a cake.
Thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the cake.
It was cloudy on the 10th but moonrise on the 11th looked pretty good. 1/8 second exposure with Canon XSi and 75-300 lens at 300mm.

I have been obsessed with putting the Cosmos into some kind of comprehesible perspective for some time now. And, after a few years of pondering this, this is what I've come up with. All the items on this table are to scale. In this model, the Earth is .25"(1/4") in diameter, which makes Jupiter 2.80" in diameter, Saturn 2.36" in diameter, and The Sun 27.28" in diameter! When I was finally able to grasp the relative size of our world compared to the rest of the Cosmos, I understood the importance of protecting our environment. We are alone in the vastness of space; This planet is the only hospitable rock for many light years in any direction. We should all be taking much better care of it.
To get a better sense of scale, check out the Hi Rez version.

Notice the 4th speed bump on the way to Neptune.
Birthday cake for a friend. Inspired by all the other planets cakes that are on flickr. :-)
Inside: chocolate cake, decorations made of marzipan. and lots of sugar colouring. *lol*
Took me ages to prepare but I'm pleased with the final result.
This picture was taken in a hurry in the last second before the guests arrived.
It's funny that this is my most viewed picture. :-O

Gregg is287 meters from the camera. Even with the zoom lens he is almost too far away to see. Use Flickr to see the full size image -- you can see Gregg at the 3rd speed bump.
