The partially eclipsed moon is aligned with the south tower of the Golden Gate bridge just before dawn. The Point Bonita lighthouse is in the distance.
'Aligned'
The Milky Way stands vertically over some Tafoni Sandstone structures on the California coast. The stoney lines and honeycomb structures repeat the starry band and dust lanes in the sky. They stretch out and almost touch each other, but remain separated by the turbulent and ominously dark waters of the Pacific Ocean.

is probably the most talented linguist i have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
here is one of her little dittys.
Favorite-Flavored Fable
My serpentine mind winds curving lines
Circuitous routes on the continuum of time
Aluminum signs control the flow by design
They unite and align, fast-forward and rewind
So I pause in the story in the gore and the glory
And I stop in the traffic through the noise and the static
Ecstatic just to have it, erratic though it seems
My dreams are less fantastic than reality can be
So look at me, baring flesh and hiding soul
An alchemist, turning hunger into gold
Bold as the thunder under auspices of light
Blessings bestowed abundant, a charmed sort of life
It's like it's luck on my karmic credit card
A good deed gone unpunished, my ransom and reward
I'm the stone to your sword, the Goliath to your David
Your favorite-flavored fable, to satisfy and savor
A chic-shabby heroine or a damsel in distress
Star cross'd lovers, Montagues and Capulets
Poison and daggers in iambic pentameter
Bragging borrowed wisdom, listen, voice of an amateur
The diameter of my sphere of influence grows
With each white lie that I've told, every promise turned hollow
And oaths before God just because I was scared
Unprepared to go where lack of care child-bared
But still she's here with me now, how I long for her embrace
Soon enough my child, with God's given grace
Thy will be done.
About two hours earlier, BNSF's Provo-Denver came down the Moffat and took the siding at Rocky. The conductor tied some hand brakes and aligned the derail in the derail position. The derail exists so that, should the uncrewed train roll east for any reason, it will intentionally derail (away from the main track) before entering the main track. As you can see, a single switch point is creating a break in the south rail, which would result in the train derailing if it started to roll.

A tram network is one of the most effective modes of public transportation. It’s zero-emission, high density and relatively fast (when the trams can run on independent tracks).
But it’s pretty capital intensive and not very flexible too. When an operator, like the Rotterdam RET here on the City – South line, decides that a tram service will be split in two, for the shortened service a separate return loop (keer lus) has to be created. Because most trams have only one driving cabin and can’t just simply change driving direction. In this case, a loop that uses the Postumalaan and the Veemstraat that connects to the existing tracks on the Laan Op Zuid has to be built.
Shown here are workers who are aligning the newly laid tracks. in the BG is the southern Erasmus bridge ramp.

Dans la lande dorée de Carnac,
Ces pierres millénaires dressent leurs silhouettes,
Sentinelles granitiques, muettes témoins d'un passé enfoui.
Elles se succèdent, telle une procession de gardiens,
Alignées avec une précision énigmatique,
Défiant le temps et les éléments.
Leurs formes tourmentées, sculptées par les vents,
Semblent vouloir raconter les secrets oubliés
De ces anciens peuples qui les ont érigées.
Elles se tiennent immobiles, Comme pour méditer sur la course Incessante des saisons et des civilisations.
Au-delà de ces alignements mystérieux,
Les maisons de granit se blottissent,
Abritant la vie d'aujourd'hui Sous le regard impassible des géants de pierre.
Un dialogue silencieux s'établit
Entre l'ancien et le moderne,
Entre la nature sauvage et l'homme.
Ces menhirs, témoins d'une époque révolue,
Veillent avec sérénité sur cette contrée bretonne,
Où le temps semble s'être arrêté.
Ils perpétuent la mémoire d'un passé mystérieux,
Invitant les visiteurs à se laisser imprégner
Par la poésie mélancolique de ces lieux.
We are all trying to plan our photographic trips in advance, but always something takes you by surprise.
This image was taken in Marken, Netherlands and the wind was blowing so hard that our travel tripods didn't stand a chance. Unfortunately, this is one of the few photos that was actually in focus. We love overcast days because of the good opportunity for capturing some nice contrast black and white pictures.
This one came up pretty good. Hope you like it, enjoy!

Les alignements de Carnac forment un site d'alignements mégalithiques exceptionnel et constitué d'alignements de menhirs, de dolmens et d'allées couvertes et réparti sur plus de quatre kilomètres. Les alignements de Carnac sont les ensembles mégalithiques les plus célèbres et les plus impressionnants de cette période avec près de 4 000 pierres levées vers 4500 ans avant notre ère.

This artwork represents my aligned state — where energy moves, but doesn’t erupt.
Not the storm.
The current.
Some minds need stillness to function.
Mine needs motion — just not overload.
In this state, thoughts flow like a living stream.
Ideas connect naturally.
Focus stays wide, yet precise.
Nothing rushes. Nothing stalls.
It’s not calm in the sense of silence —
it’s calm in the sense of continuity.
The circulating symbols represent ongoing processes:
patterns running smoothly in the background,
without demanding attention.
The energy isn’t explosive here.
It’s sustained.
Serene, alive, and responsive.
This is the state where I work best.
Where creativity doesn’t burn — it breathes.
If hyperflow is a track at 160 BPM,
this is the same song at 125.
Still powerful.
Still detailed.
Just… in sync.

An ice crystal halo around the waxing gibbous Moon set in the winter stars of a January night. The 22° halo is most obvious and with a reddish and sharper inner rim., and a bluish and more diffuse outer edge. But a faint inner 8° halo is also visible, a rare halo sometimes called the Van Buijsen Halo (according to Lynch and Livingston in their book Color and Light in Nature; Minnaert also mentions it in his seminal book The Nature of Color and Light in the Open Air). It is not a lens flare as shots taken with the Moon well off to one side of the frame still show the inner halo centred on the Moon. Nor is it an artifact of the exposure blending as it is present on the raw single long-exposure image.
The Moon was in Taurus this night and very close to Mars, shining here as the red point of light just above the Moon. An occultation occured for locatons in the southern U.S. and Mexico this night, but for me in Alberta it was a very close conjunction. Orion is at lower left; Auriga is above the Moon; and Perseus is at upper right.
To retain the disk of the Moon and better capture the scene as the eye saw it, this is a blend of 8 untracked exposures, from 30 seconds to 1/250 second with the RF15-35mm lens at 22mm and f/4 and Canon R5 at ISO 400. Being untracked exposures, the stars are trailed somewhat. Frames manually aligned then blended with luminosity masks created with Lumenzia. A mild glow effect was added with Radiant Photo plug-in.
Years Ago I Encountered an Image of You on the Internet
I knew I wanted to visit, hiking and exploring your wonder
The wind carried the scent of volcanic remnants as I ventured into your wonderland
A sky devoid of any clouds, stretching endlessly above
A distant mountain peak, once with fiery volcanic eruptions
To me, it is a land of undiscovered enchantment
Curiosity and reverence fill me as I step forward
On a path that leads ahead
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning in Lassen Volcanic National Park. This is while hiking along the Cinder Cone Trail with the namesake feature to my front and looking to the south-southwest. I’d come across a similar image several years prior from a blog post (www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/Don-t-make-the-sa...) describing different things to hike and explore in this national park. This setting is one that I had promised myself that I would attempt to capture when I came across it. The view is looking to one of the paths leading to the summit area. I chose though to take the path that goes behind and follows a different direction with the return coming down the trail to the front on the image right.
The rest of the image was attempting to align myself with the peak and some of the evergreen pine trees as foreground interest. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 8 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
L'alignement de Palaghju est un site préhistorique.
Le site est mentionné pour la première fois en 1889 par Étienne Michon, qui y dénombre soixante à soixante-dix menhirs répartis en deux groupes. Louis Giraux en signale une dizaine de plus en 1914. Le site subit de nombreuses fouilles clandestines. Roger Grosjean y effectue plusieurs campagnes de fouilles de 1964 à 1968 et porte le nombre de monolithes découverts à deux-cent-cinquante-huit dont trois statues-menhirs qu'il dénomme « Pagliaiu I à III » ; face à l'importance du site, il le qualifie de « laboratoire du mégalithisme corse ».
Le site est classé aux monuments historiques par arrêté du 23 octobre 1974.
Comprenant 258 menhirs, c'est la plus forte concentration de ce type de mégalithe du bassin méditerranéen. Quelques menhirs ont été redressés par Grosjean dans les années 1960 mais la grande majorité sont restés tels qu'ils ont été découverts. Les alignements sont organisés en sept groupes, six orientés nord-sud et un autre est-ouest. Tous les menhirs sont sculptés en forme de silhouette humaine (bien qu'aucun n'aie la tête dégagée), la plupart étant sommairement ébauchés. Les trois statues-stèles comportent des gravures d'attributs guerriers (épée, poignard) ; d'autres gravures visibles pourraient correspondre à des attributs anatomiques.
I aligned the photo somewhat so that the tower of the castel is now more or less upright
Besides that I croped a 16:9 format from the original.
Normally I won't post almost the same photo twice but I think it's worth it this time.
Many thanks for the great positive response for the first version!

Le village de la Roque-Gageac, classé parmi les Plus Beaux Villages de France, est niché entre sa falaise et la Dordogne. Il bénéficie d'un microclimat, presque méditerranéen, grâce à son exposition plein sud.
La Roque-Gageac aligne les façades blanches et ocres de ses maisons. De nombreuses petites ruelles mènent au pied de la falaise, depuis laquelle on peut profiter d’une vue magnifique sur la rivière.
A côté de l'église à mi falaise et grâce à ce solarium naturel, s'épanouit un étonnant jardin exotique composé de palmiers, bananiers, agaves, figuiers, cactus, bambous …
I am not a religious person, but I do have many beliefs and wishes that align with those who are. Above all else, as we come towards the end of another year the international news seems once more to be dominated by aggression and dispute. If only as a world we could learn to live along side one and other. My hope for the New Year is just that, we can somehow see an end to war, violence famine and all manner of hostility..
The image used here was taken inside the Gergeti Trinity Church which is located 7,000 feet up in the Caucasus Mountains. The church dates back to the 14th century.
Due to its isolated position, perched high up in the mountains above the Georgian border town of Stepantsminda, the Gergeti Trinity Church has become a national symbol. Of equal beauty to the location of the church is its lovely and colourful 14th century interior. One small corner of which can be seen here.
During Soviet times religious services at this church were banned but it remained effectively a museum piece. Since the countries independence of 1991 services have once again been reinstated. Of course Georgia is a country that appears once more to be embroiled in political upheaval, so my thoughts are particularly relevant to that nation.
I would also like to take this opportunity to specifically wish all those who have followed my Flickr stream over the past year a healthy and prosperous year ahead. Thank you once more for your interest in my postings.
