Churches in England are often aligned in a specific direction, typically with the altar at the east end and the main entrance at the west end, a practice known as orientation.
All Saint's church Walcott in the foreground aligned with St Mary's Church in Happisburgh some 2km distant.
A snapshot from a walk around local lanes recently.
A much brighter image, containing more detail, this is a stack of 10 images. The light from Llanberis is over exposed, it was hard to curtail this without losing some of the milky way detail. The image is devoid of noise, one of the advantages of stacking images. Interestingly the stacking software aligns the stars in the image, so the movement in the stars is removed, but not on the landscape. The silhouetted mountains were out of alignment and blurred, so I just repainted the dark edges with the canon stamp tool restoring the sharp edges. Took me about 11/2 hours to process this image in Deep Sky Stacker, Lightroom and finish in Canon software. Any processing advice is welcome.

we create the illusion of perfect lives, loves perfect, perfect friendships and so on. The real is that life has always been, is and always will be bigger than all that, and one thing I'm sure, nothing is perfect! Most of the time things don't happen exactly as we planned, people come and go all the time, changes are always necessary and sometimes unpredictable;the truth is: What do you do for your life worth it? Believe me, no one is better than anyone. To live is to understand that each of us is here for a reason, each with their mission, each with their learning's! It is to align your essence to what you do, is to love immeasurably, to forgive, to help, to see in the other way to be better, embrace everyone that overflow you of good feelings, embrace everyone who needs your hug!
As Reading and Northern #425 and #2102 look on a member of the steam crew aligns the turntable to stall track #1. After this the #802 will head out to grab the 425s water tender and put it onto stall track #4.

The iconic yellow house at Sakrisøy looks like a simple dwelling from a storybook. The triangular peak of the house mirrors the rugged mountain rising behind it in Lofoten Islands. One is crafted by human hands, the other carved by time and nature—yet they align almost perfectly, as if in agreement. Wrapped in drifting mist, the mountain emerges into the same gentle geometry, turning the scene into a visual rhyme where architecture and dream landscape echo each other in calm, poetic symmetry.
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
I always wanted to take this photo just with the arches.
This is under the St. Johns bridge. The Gothic arches support the bridge, which resemble a cathedral arch.
No wonder why people get married under the bridge.

The Outer Garden

The motif of the new garden is the Noh play "Hagoromo."
Noh is one of Japan’s traditional types of theater with more than 600 years of history.
In the story, a fisherman named Hakuryō finds a celestial robe (hagoromo) on the shore. He intends to keep it as a family heirloom, but the celestial maiden laments her inability to return to the celestial realm without her robe. Moved by her sorrow, Hakuryō sympathizes and agrees to return the robe in exchange for witnessing her celestial dance. Although the celestial maiden initially hesitates, fearing Hakuryō's doubt, she eventually returns to the heavens after performing her graceful dance, leaving behind blessings upon the land.
The garden's design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese paintings, aiming to represent two-dimensional elements in a three-dimensional space. It features representations of white clouds and waves, symbolizing the celestial realm and the waterside, respectively.
As I repeatedly reconstruct the garden to align with my vision, I sometimes doubt whether it truly conveys the warmth I intend. In moments of uncertainty, I find solace in the unwavering support and trust of AKI69, whose presence has been instrumental in the realization of this project. The beauty of the architecture, plants, and creatures within the garden constantly inspires and encourages me.
May this new garden become a testament to beauty, enriching your soul with its presence.
Looking forward to the enchanting presence of celestial beings in this garden where the worlds of the sea and sky intertwine without doubt.

新庭のモチーフは能楽「羽衣」です。
漁師の伯陵が浜辺で天女の羽衣を見つけ、家宝にしようと手に取りますが、天女が羽衣が無ければ月の世界（天界）へ帰れない事を嘆き悲しむ様に白陵は同情し羽衣を返す代わりに月の舞（天界の舞）を見せて欲しいと願います。天女は羽衣がなければ舞えないので先にお返し下さいと言いますが、白陵は羽衣を返せば天女は舞を踊らず、すぐに帰ってしまうのではないかと疑います。天女はそれは人間が持つ疑いで天界には偽りは無しと語り、白陵は天女を信じ羽衣を返します。天女は鳳凰の如く国土に瑞兆を降ら踊りながら天に帰っていくシンプルながら気高いストーリーと美しい舞が特徴の能楽です。
庭の構成は、立体を平面で表現し続けた日本の絵画から着想を得て、白雲と白波を製作し月の世界と水辺の階層表現としました。
自分は何度も庭の基本を組み、より目指す庭に近くなるようオブジェクトや構成を変えて組み直し完成を目指す中、庭の持つ温度が伝わるのかを己を怪しむ自分がいるのも確かです。
不信の時に、もしかしたらあの人ならば伝わるかも知れないと願い確固たる至心の存在AKI69に感謝と信頼を。貴方の存在なしでは完成まで至らなかった、美しい建築や植物達、愛らしい姿を見るたびに勇気を与えられ満ちていく。
庭に来てくれた方々の中へ新庭が美しさの塵となって降り積もっていく事を願う。
疑心なき月の世界、白陵が生きた海が空と交わる庭に麗しき天人天女の皆々様が現れることを楽しみにしています。
While taking in a view at the railroad station for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Durango, Colorado. The view is looking to the northwest. In composing this image, I attempted to align myself to create a sweeping view using the railroad tracks as a leading line into the image.
There's something about benches that just give off a melancholic mood to me in shots. Like you're waiting for someone to be there but it's been a while now. It's meant to have people in it interacting (though if it did I likely wouldn't have shot it as I don't like people photography), but it just exudes a kind of emptiness that stands out from other empty scenes.
I was particularly inspired by another photographer who got a shot here using a bench as a subject but it was in the sakura tunnel, something I didn't have confidence I could line up without keeping the vital tunnel effect. So on the morning of the second day here I was looking for new subjects I could use while keeping the Salem capitol in frame. The main problem was there was a large modern fountain in the middle that would obscure all if it remained in frame. what is one to do? Almost by coincidence, there were benches opposite of the large ugly fountain on both sides. Of course, I wouldn't be able to perfectly align the building when off to the side (in fact, it's still slightly angled in post).
I did quite a bit of other fixes to bring this shot home. I increased the shadows under the sakura trees and used that darkness to make those beautiful lanterns stick out more, I fixed the sky, reduced the shadows on the building and brought a lower temp to the benches. Finally, I erased construction around the building and any excess pathways in the grass as it made a distraction from the leading line. Not the best shot in my Salem capitol series but I'm proud of this outcome.
Another frame from a perfectly aligned wave. I can't wait for the sun to move back along the horizon.
This nice hoverfly (not wasp) went astray from the flowers right into my open photography bag (charging cable). I gently guided it outside, so that it didn't get caught in there.
The lower right triangle has a right angle and the hoverfly is almost forming a 180 degree angle with the cable.

Our Daily Challenge: ASSISTANCE NEEDED
This is one of two Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) that spent the day flitting around the garden's milkweeds. Somehow the bazooka lens from a distance was all they would tolerate. This perch meant I could align the shot with the sun glinting off the pond's waterfall making bokeh halos.

A sunset walk in my favorite local park. The sun was hiding behind the cloud with a trace of light on the water. People were walking on the shore to enjoy this peaceful moment. I saw these two people and aligned them with the sun. The black and white conversion really accentuated the contrast in the scene.

Final edit of the RocketLab launch I shot a couple of weeks ago. Safe to say I'm pleased with how it turned out!
Was also nice to see the south celestial pole align with the peak of the rockets arc - totally planned that 😅
This was a stack of approximately 50 shots, and was pretty challenging to manage as the lighting in each shot was changing with the setting sun. 15 second exposures, ISO400 and f4.0.
