Orion's Belt or the Belt of Orion, also known as the Three Kings or Three Sisters, is an asterism in the constellation Orion. It consists of the three bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.
Looking for Orion's Belt in the night sky is the easiest way to locate Orion in the sky. The stars are more or less evenly spaced in a straight line, and so can be visualized as the belt of the hunter's clothing. They are best visible in the early night sky during the Northern Winter/Southern Summer, in particular the month of January at around 9:00 pm.
Alnitak (ζ Orionis) is a triple star system at the eastern end of Orion's belt and is 1,260 light-years from the Earth. Alnitak B is a 4th-magnitude B-type star which orbits Alnitak A every 1,500 years. The primary (Alnitak A) is itself a close binary, comprising Alnitak Aa (a blue supergiant of spectral type O9.7 Ibe and an apparent magnitude of 2.0) and Alnitak Ab (a blue dwarf of spectral type O9V and an apparent magnitude of about 4). Alnitak Aa is estimated as being up to 28 times as massive as the Sun, and to have a diameter 20 times greater. It is the brightest star of class O in the night sky.
Alnilam (ε Orionis) is a supergiant, approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth and magnitude 1.70. It is the 29th-brightest star in the sky and the fourth-brightest in Orion. It is 375,000 times more luminous than the Sun. Its spectrum serves as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified.
Mintaka (δ Orionis) is 1,200 light-years away and shines with magnitude 2.21. Mintaka is 90,000 times more luminous than the Sun. Mintaka is a double star. The two stars orbit around each other every 5.73 days.

Upon Reflection - Chiswick Park Underground Station, London, UK
These lakes near Drei Zinnen Hutte looked so enticing, that I went down there to take photos rather than relax like the rest of our group.
Day five was from Durrenstein Hutte/Rifugio Vallandro to Rifugio A. Locatelli/Dreizinnenhütte, another big day of almost 20km with descents totalling 865m and ascents totalling 1237m.
After leaving the hut, we had a gentle climb to alpine meadows, then down a gully and an aided trail around Strudelkopf and steeply down to a main road which we crossed over before heading along route 102 and the long ascent up to Tre Cime di Lavaredo - the famous three peaks.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out and with a $US10 discount: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660

My first view of the Avenue of the Volcanoes at 6:52 am (a 4h58m climb) from the Refugio (Hut).
There are several volcanoes, but the most striking are the Chimborazo on your right (I will climb it tomorrow), the highest in the world and Cotopaxi, the second highest volcano in Ecuador (I climbed it in the first 24 hours).
***
Climbing an active volcano is complicated.
The crater is just below me. It took years for the Ecuadorian government to release climbing permits.
Me knowing the risks and signing the papers. It is a great pleasure for Pachamama to accept me, agradiseyki.

Tungurahua 5,023 metres (16,480 ft) is located in the Cordillera Oriental of the Andes of central Ecuador, 140 kilometres (87 mi) south of the capital Quito.
Nearby notable mountains are Chimborazo (6,310 metres (20,700 ft)) and El Altar (5,319 metres (17,451 ft)). It rises above the small thermal springs town of Baños de Agua Santa (1,800 metres (5,900 ft)) which is located at its foot 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the north.
Other nearby towns are Ambato (30 kilometres (19 mi) to the northwest), Baños and Riobamba (30 kilometres (19 mi) to the southwest).
Tungurahua is part of the Sangay National Park.

Entrée du port de Marseille
Marseille de nuit.
ville portuaire du sud de la France, est un carrefour du commerce et de l'immigration depuis sa fondation par les Grecs vers 600 av. J.-C. En son cœur se trouve le Vieux-Port où les pêcheurs vendent leurs prises sur le quai bordé de bateaux. La basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde est une église romane d'inspiration byzantine. Les constructions modernes incluent notamment la Cité Radieuse, unité d'habitations conçue par Le Corbusier et la Tour CMA CGM de Zaha Hadid.
Marseille, a port city in the south of France, has been a crossroads of trade and immigration since it was founded by the Greeks around 600 BC. In its heart is the Old Port where fishermen sell their catches on the pier lined with boats. The basilica Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde is a Romanesque church of Byzantine inspiration. Modern buildings include the Radiant City, a housing unit designed by Le Corbusier and the CMA CGM Tower by Zaha Hadid.

9-shot, 180° stitched panorama of the Shanghai Shipyard Bridge. A dual steel bridge at the former "Shanghai No. 1 Shipyard" location in Pudong Lujiazui.
The bridge has been constructed over the exits of the former dry docks and is illuminated red at night. This is a part of the northern extension of the Lujiazui Riverside Promenade along the Huangpu River. A stretch of riverside that has been occupied by warehouses, quays and shipyards is converted into a park-like recreation area.
With the development of the Lujiazui Central Financial District Phase II in full swing, the riverside will be the recreational area of this mega-project.
On the right, in the distant background, is the Shanghai International Cruise Center, the downtown berthing point for large cruise ships.

I mucked up the left hand image trying to get between passing trucks. I beat the a6000 auto focus again!
DSC04333_34 ICE stitch
9433pix wide!
The ICE software blended the out of focus, #unsharp, image on IG, with the sharp image of the centre silo!
I will have to revisit this another day and be more careful!
I think the camera focused on the bushes and barbed wire fence in the foreground....
Now hear the song, I just heard on Macca..

The IG shot by Troggonk is the photo I took with the iPhone to get the location!
I don't know if they contain chemicals or water!
An informative note from flic.kr/p/2hAYcLq
There are tonnes of sites on the internet, and here is one, this from a newspaper about a new silo recently painted. We were close to this but missed it, apparently, and it’s a beauty by the looks.

If you look at all the current sites they are in every state so to see them all, you have to travel many thousands of miles,

After a massive star exploded, it left behind this supernova remnant observed by Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. The Chandra data (red, green and blue) show multimillion-degree gas and the blast wave from the supernova. The light brown region in the upper right of the remnant is a dense cloud of gas and dust that reflects optical light detected by Hubble.
This image is part of a collection of archiveed images made by “astronomy artist” Judy Schmidt, to help recognize #ArchivesMonth. All of the objects in this new archive collection are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, which is a small satellite galaxy to Milky Way.
This year, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory celebrates its 20th year in space exploring the extreme universe.

Its a testament to persistence. I live about 45 minutes from this viewpoint, Jonsrud Viewpoint, near Sandy Oregon. Because this is fairly close, and so cool looking, an image form here has been on my list for a long time. And I go, often. Every time a strikeout. This is the first image I have ever posted from here. I have been there about 6 times, and I finally walked away with an image I liked.
This is a tough spot to shoot. It has great fog in the valley in the morning, but sunrises back-lite Mt. Hood. You can shoot a sunset, but then you don't get the fog. You can see this in many of the mages people post from here. They have fog, and good color in the sky, and then they wash out Hood in the processing and it looks horrible. You just can't get it all when you shoot from here unless you let your tripod sit there all day and shoot both. However, then creeps in the third issue. Clouds. If you live in Portland you know, Hood is a cloud magnet. If you want a sunrise with clouds to catch the color, then you often (99.999 percent of the time) loose Hood in those clouds. If you see Hood, you usually have no clouds. To get hood with clouds around her but not obscuring her, you need patience, and tons of it.
So in this image, I opted for the fog. Clouds came in about 10 minutes after I shot this, but they swallowed Hood. Sigh. Not an easy place to shoot.
The last challenge, the right tripod location. You have to get here early to get the primo tripod spot. Here, I had to show up 1.5 hours before sunrise and wait there, to steak out my spot. When I walked away there was about 12 photographers there. I can't imagine how many there would be if the conditions were even more ideal.
So my hat is off to anyone who got the great trifecta- detail on Hood, colored clouds in the sky and fog in the valley. Its a near impossible feat.
