Vaste tribu aux fleurs étoilées, les asters sont les stars incontestées de l’automne. Originaires de l’hémisphère nord et principalement d’Amérique, les asters offrent une extraordinaire résistance au froid approchant les –35 à –40°C. Vivaces caduques de taille variable ou sous-arbrisseaux persistants, leur diversité de formes permet de les installer dans n’importe quelles circonstances : en bordure, dans une rocaille ou mêlés à des massifs d’arbustes. On distingue communément trois types d’asters : les grands, les petits et les asters à effet brouillard. Nous allons les passer en revue.

Our home on a foreign land... us in a vast sea of them... we long for where we belong, wherever it is, whenever it is... but not here, not now... hanging onto love, and flowers, we wait... helplessly...

A little blurry- I was on a boat heading out to "Stingray City" to go swimming with the stingrays :)
Aaaaand yes I know, the horizon is slighty tilted but the boat was also moving... :p
Minimal editing :D
Thank you everyone for the encouragement :)
I'm feeling better about everything today.
The vast heavens and endless stars over Yosemite National Park's Gates of the Valley bathed in the light of the full moon. After attempting to capture the season's last moonbow at upper Yosemite Falls, we drove in the dark to capture long exposures of some of the park's iconic locations. www.optimalfocusphotography.com and www.instagram.com/optimal_focus/

Dark, ominous supercell storm clouds gather over a solitary road stretching through a vast countryside, with a car driving towards the horizon. Lightning strikes in the distance, illuminating the dramatic sky.

I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again ... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul

Monument Valley is often thought to be US national park, but while its beauty certainly would qualify it for such distinction it is actually a Navajo Nation Tribal Park. It is located at the northern Arizona border with Utah. This photo was taken just outside of the tribal owned View Hotel. The area is a famous setting for numerous western themed movies.
I have previously posted a similar photo that was an HDR taken with my 14-24 mm lens and not stitched. I do like this version better as I think there is much better detail. We were so lucky with the summer cloud formations and their location within the photo. Note the vehicles on the foreground road to provide some size perspective.

Shot with Sigma 10-20mm EX Ultra wideangle lens.
I wanted to give the audience the impression of how huge the cathedral is.
Some adjectives I played around with but found quite appropriate when taking in views from the many overlooks in the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. Even with a focal length pulled back and some angling to attempt to capture the landscape seen, the wide angle lens I had just didn't seem to quite express and reproduce the feelings of...a vast poetic immense of boundless space. In metering this image, it was a matter of finding a location along one of the nearby canyon floors that had a little bit of shadow to get the exposure I wanted. I was then able to work with control points and color control points in Capture NX2 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted.
Dots d'ombre
Wij zingen van
We maken een kringetje
Uit de verte zijn wij stippen
Verbonden door wat draad
En dan
De aarde is
Van verder weg
Een lichtje in het donker
Vele lichtjes
Van de melkweg
Draaien dansend
Stipjes van schaduw
Houd elkaar maar stevig vast

Patrolling the vast expanse of the untamed western frontier from Fort Legoredo is the United Studs 3rd Cavalry Regiment.
Inspired by Evancelt's cavalry builds, I've been planning a series of wild west themed builds for a while. I've finally got started, but keep getting distracted with fig barfs... so here are my cavalry! Hopefully have some actual MOCs up soon!
Nelle vastità bonificate della Pianura Veneta Orientale, i fossi di scolo della campagna sottratta alla palude sono assediati, letteralmente, dal canneto. Le canne di palude ricordano all'uomo la considione ambientale pregressa della stessa pianura, ma nel contempo formano un habitat residuale prezioso per gli animali che della palude furono ospiti ..... ..
Oh, vast trees of vivid green
In the watery mirror, you are seen
Reflecting beauty all around
Invading eyes without a sound
A vision captured in the light
A beautiful, growing, untamed sight
That in natures mirror, now is seen
Thrilling my mind, oh, vast trees of green

De door LINEAS gebruikte Traxxen zijn niet bepaald interessant om vast te leggen. Het loccenpark bestaat voor het grootste deel uit logoloze Railpool of Akiem Traxxen die meestal ook nog eens erg smerig zijn. Er zijn maar drie Traxxen de moeite waard, waaronder de 186293, die de LINEAS huisstijl draagt. Op 15 juni 2021 was deze loc weer te zien voor de Volvotrein uit Zweden naar België. Het betrof de trein met de eentonige gesloten wagens en helaas reed er dit keer geen staal mee in de trein. Een half uurtje na passage van de Nosta zien we deze trein de fotograaf passeren ter hoogte van de afvalberg bij Harselaar.
Die Zeit in Schichten messen —
Verblasste Zeugen und Spuren
gewaltiger Epochen.
Measuring time in layers —
Faded witnesses and traces
from vast eras.
Turned my back and had this vast view during the sunset.Over the traditional stonehouse of the north.
Cabañeros National Park is a vast protected natural area located between the provinces of Ciudad Real and Toledo, in Castilla-La Mancha. It is considered the best example of Mediterranean forest in Europe and is distinguished by its great biological and landscape diversity, covering more than 40,000 hectares.
Its main features include:
Landscape: It is divided into two distinct areas:
La Raña: A vast plain with herbaceous vegetation where holm oak forests proliferate and large herbivores such as deer graze. It is an ideal habitat for steppe birds such as the little bustard and the stone curlew, and you can also observe storks and great bustards.
La Sierra: Composed of extensive rocky areas and scree covered with dense Mediterranean forests and scrub. Holm oak forests, cork oak forests, oak forests, and Pyrenean oak forests dominate here, along with scrubland such as rockrose and heath. It is home to large birds of prey such as the black vulture, the Spanish imperial eagle, and the black stork, as well as large mammals such as deer, roe deer, and wild boar.
Geology: Materials such as quartzite and slate predominate. In some areas, especially on the Boquerón del Estena route (considered a Site of Geological Interest), fossils dating back more than 400 million years can be found, indicating that the area was once covered by a sea.
Hydrography: Numerous streams and creeks cross the park, with their greatest flow in autumn and spring, contributing to a mosaic of flowers during these seasons. The park is bordered to the east by the Bullaque River and to the west by the Estena River.
Biodiversity: It is home to a rich fauna, including endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle. Its flora is equally valuable, with different bioclimatic zones and 22 species classified as vulnerable or of special interest.
Cultural Values: The name "Cabañeros" refers to the old huts used by shepherds and charcoal burners. Traditional activities such as cork-cutting and beekeeping are still practiced.
The park offers hiking trails, guided off-road tours, and activities such as birdwatching and canoeing. It is an idyllic place to enjoy nature in its purest form at any time of year, with hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. The deer rut in autumn (September-October) is particularly noteworthy, a natural spectacle for observing large deer.
Venne una vastità,
come un amico,
Una saggezza senza volto o nome,
Una pace di sfere in armonia:
Così fu notte.
Emily Dickinson
Cette vaste place est la plus fréquentée de la ville dans la partie la plus récente de Stockholm. En 1957 on créa un espace à deux niveaux, le niveau inférieur étant réservé pour les piétons et le niveau supérieur, destiné au trafic. Au centre de la partie supérieure se dresse l'obélisque de verre (1972) d'Edvin Öhrström illuminé la nuit et entouré d'une immense fontaine, la Sergelfontänen.
Stockholm, la capitale de la Suède, est située sur un vaste archipel de la mer Baltique, comprenant 14 îles et plus de 50 ponts. Les rues pavées et les bâtiments de couleur ocre de Gamla Stan (la vieille ville) abritent la cathédrale de Storkyrkan du 13e siècle, le palais royal de Stockholm et le musée Nobel, consacré au prix Nobel. Des ferries et des bateaux de tourisme transportent les passagers entre les îles.
Rainbow appeared a few minutes after a storm cell passed through the city. From my vantage point 18mm on an APS-C body wasn't wide enough to capture the entire arc, and no option to zoom out with my feet either. Still managed to capture most of it, though. Shot in Denver, Colorado.
If I could have 10 and only 10 CD's, one of them would definitely be "Exile in Guyville". She played a vast majority of it at the show...15 Dec 2010.
Polonnaruwa is home to a vast monkey population living among the impressively preserved ruins.

Enjoy your sunday evening,
I am waiting for Dumazile, an approaching typhoon.
Ter hoogte van Hulten kon ik in de vroege ochtend de DBC vectron 193 329 vast leggen met een omgeleide ketel trein richting venlo en verder.....
Peaceful early morning
A vast Corinthian column
A great green feather stuck in the ground
A harp upon which the wind makes music
A host that marches to victory over the earth
A traveler bending to the storm
A distant relation
Old citizen of the town
Handsome and cool and bosky
An athlete that shows its well-developed muscles
A fair, flaxen-haired sister with golden ringlets
A maiden that has taken the veil
A match found for me at last
– Henry David Thoreau
They had traveled for mellenia, Falling through the vast emptiness between gallaxies, low on fuel and energy, when they arrived at the outskirts of a small spiral galaxy. The radiation from the small nearby sun was barely enough to push at their spacecraft, but they managed to maneuver to the precius eggs laying there for the taking.
When they reached the third egg from the star there was a lot of uninteligible noice on the radio frequenzies but it disapeared quickly when the egg popped, and all the satisfying yoke like magma was stored in the nearly empty tresholds.
The build:
It was a fun undertaking to achieve the form i wanted to expres, an mix between a biological form parred with industrial looking greebels.
Off couse it is fairly easy to achieve 100 studs when one uses big pannels, but in this case it became a little tricky when i opted for vertical and angled build. The original idea was to give it a more airy apearance, by not do too much greebles in between the wing pannels, and even thoug you dont see them very clear they give more 'life' to the MOC, than only tilled plates, so i opted for this apearence you see here.
Stat:
Hight 115 studs
width 89 studs
pieces ca 2600+
Hope you like it.
UPDATE: One year later (aproxymately) got 100 faves, Thank you all!!! BIG SMILE.
Yet another update: Got a trophy from the 'infamous' instigator of the Shiptember build off. Thanx!

Gli Etruschi vissero tra il IX e I sec a. C., stanziati in una vasta area chiamata Etruria, che copre l' attuale Toscana e porzioni dell'Umbria e del Lazio, parte della Lombardia, del Veneto e della Campania..
Avevano molto vivo il culto dei morti.
In una prima fase la loro visione era estremamente serena : credevano che i defunti continuassero a vivere e per questo arredavano l'ultima dimora con suppellettili e viveri.
Ma dal V sec per gli Etruschi cambia radicalmente la visione della morte : figure demoniache, serpenti e mostri iniziano a popolare le tombe.
Quella profonda trasformazione non è dovuta unicamente all'influenza della civiltà greca, ma è probabilmente legata alla consapevolezza che la loro civiltà era agli sgoccioli. Il senso di angoscia determina la visione dell'al di là, che diventa un luogo terrificante, privo di speranza e popolato da demoni mostruosi.
Il demone alato di una tomba nella Necropoli di Sovana, Toscana.
I nostri mostri interiori, che ci bloccano nel cammino della vita , sono spesso le nostre paure, ansie, delusioni, rimorsi. E anche tutto il male che abbiamo subito e ci ha ferito, tutto il male che vediamo intorno, di fronte a cui ci sentiamo impotenti.
Our inner demons
The Etruscan Necropolis of Sovana, Tuscany
This vast view over the rocky desert landscape looking towards the La Sal Mountains was stunning in and of itself, but at golden hour it was taken to another level. No photograph could ever replicate what you experienced standing here, it was truly stunning to behold! All I can say is that you have to experience a drive through Arches National Park at golden hour at least once in your life. It begins to reshape your understanding of creation, you see a landscape clothed in glorious light and you get a glimpse of how it was always meant to be. God is glorious and His creation reveals more and more of just how beautiful He is!
Werktreinen zijn altijd leuk om vast te leggen, natuurlijk helemaal als ze in actie zijn uiteraard maar buiten dat is de tractie in combinatie met de werkwagon altijd een leuke combinatie om vast te leggen zowel in kleur als ook soms behoorlijke lengte van de trein.
Op deze grijze donderdag kon ik weer eens zo een werktrein vastleggen met een loc die ik nog niet eerder had vastgelegd dus was het dubbel genieten, locatie vandaag werd Hogebrug waar je met zon eigenlijk alleen goed staat aan het einde van de middag en rest van de avond, maar aangezien het vandaag de hele grijs zou zijn had ik daar geen last van.
Na aankomst moest ongeveer 2 uur worden gewacht in de soms miezerregen en soms motregen op de eerste cargo van de dag en het was meteen de knaller van de dag, de trein was al eerder gemeld in omgeving Amsterdam maar ja dan kun je natuurlijk nog alle kanten op en tot mijn grote genoegdoening kon ik hem hier vastleggen in een gelukkig inmiddels droge omgeving.
Het gaat hier om de 1018 van RTS(Rail Transport Services) dat is een dochteronderneming van Swietelsky Baugesellschaft m.b.H., de 1018 heeft een zeer fraaie kleursamenstelling en passeert hier de grijze omgeving van Hogebrug met een sleep Fccpps'en komend vanuit de Amsterdamse Westhaven op weg richting Gouda, hierna passeerde DBC nog met een ketel/gasketeltrein de andere kant op en verder bleef het rustig maar met deze knaller was ik al meer dan tevreden.
