'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.

Every day in Rodi Garganico, Apulien Italy, I am admiring on daily basis, amazing sunsets.
I suppose that, (by waking up earlier), I would admire great sunrise too in the Sunrise Beach...

Thank You!
Have wanted to get some images of these wonderful birds for a long time. The stars aligned and delighted with the results and the encounter.
It only seems fair after posting Grandma's cow bell that I post this functional keepsake that I got out of Grandpa's garage after he passed away. A contact posted a still life that had a collection of antique items and one was an oil can similar to this one and that got me thinking. The handle is stamped with "PLEWS, MPLS, MINN, MADE IN U.S.A." To the best that I've been able to research, it was made in the 1920's which fits with when my Grandpa would most likely have bought an oil can, maybe for his first automobile. My "studio" is still set up from the clothesline pulley/wood chunk and I'm enjoying focus stacking these various objects. Similar to the other shots, this is a thirteen image focus stack that I shot with the Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro. The lighting was provided by three lights, one in the back over the top, the main light to the left and a fill light to the right. The oil can stands about 6 inches tall by 10 inches wide with 4 inches of depth and is sitting on a black throw blanket that I use for black backgrounds. After downloading the files, Lightroom loaded them into Photoshop as layers and then PS aligned and stacked the layers into the final image seen here. I was very pleased with the stacking.
BTW: This object does not sit on the old piano or anywhere in the house. It resides in the garage and functions as designed, just as it has since Grandpa bought it so many years ago.
In 1926 Route 66 was aligned along the Ozark Trail built in the 1910s which in turn used the older Springfield to Carthage road. The road passed 0.25 miles south of Paris Springs, and at the crossroads leading to the village, a small community formed: Paris Springs Junction or Gay Parita. Travel along the U.S. 66 provided income to the town and helped it through the Depression in the 1930s. However the new alignment of Route 66 in 1961 moved the road just beyond its former alignment, and then in the early 1960s, the whole area was bypassed by I-44, which ran along what used to be US-166, south of Paris Springs towards Springfield.
Our Daily Challenge: Have you tried.......HeliconFocus?
I have been experimenting with photo stacking, and I came across. an image that just didn't work in Photoshop. I had 45 images stacked, auto aligned and auto blended in Photoshop and each time I got a weird blue cast and blown out area in the final image. I checked all 45 of the original images, and they were fine. It had to be user error, but each time I tried tweaking my process, I failed. A little Google search brought me to a new program "HeliconFocus". It is much faster than Photoshop and creates a better result. I am using the trial version and tried it again on this image. I like the results so far.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and favs. I really do appreciate every one!

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!
Aligned along the central vein on the upper side of a palm frond, regularly spaced along the line, each one attached in one place and growing slowly to double their size over two months.
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.

NGC 7000
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.

... à l'entrée de l'abbatiale de Moissac : juin 2014.
"Chemin" étape 21 : Durfort-Lacapelette -- Moissac.
At present there are 77 stones of heavily weathered local oolitic limestone, which were poetically described by William Stukeley as being “corroded like worm eaten wood, by the harsh Jaws of Time”, which made “a very noble, rustic, sight, and strike an odd terror upon the spectators, and admiration at the design of ‘em”.
Aubrey Burl has, in a more down to earth way, called the Rollrights “seventy-seven stones, stumps and lumps of leprous limestone”. This number seems to have altered considerably over the years - drawings from the tail-end of the 19th century, just before the Stones were scheduled under the 1882 Ancient Monuments Protection Act along with Stonehenge and Avebury, show about 25 stones in the Circle. “In the year 1882 the proprietor of Little Rollright replaced all the fallen stones in their original foundation.”
The Rollright Stone Circle is the southerly cousin of the Cumbrian circles such as Swinside and Long Meg and her Daughters in the English Lake District. Family traits include similar size, shape, close-set stones (it is believed that there originally some 105 stones standing shoulder to shoulder), astronomically-aligned entrance and a pair of outlying portals where gates were hung to stop the sheep from straying into the road.
Hello everyone! As always I hope you're all well x
A fresh and pleasing modern interior that's consistent in mediums.
Giving the following a classy edgy touch with a combo of polished cement finishes aligning with each of the interior spaces.
Accented highlights pay a tribute throughout the leveling of the home,
addressed by its dark colour pallet, the foundation of accents helps bring a spark of translation to the aroma of the space. LED enhanced contouring strip lighting adjacent from the main to the more exclusive areas of the home, helps bring out the features more,
with its dark stance of colour material selections. Extracting from nature and bringing in,
I've incorporated a little more of a colour boundary with my clients home creating the window and door trimmings to match with the interior treads.
A chic industrial metallic binder cabinetry with it's elevating woven wooden slats both on walls and ceilings.
Matte black ceiling lights which cast down, both working as can light and grazing lights to entertain and showcase with a warm 80 lux lumen range.
Using particular artworks on walls to contrast and use as a way to stimulate the interior atmosphere.
I'm booked out!
