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!

It's nice to be in the sun watching the rain on the other side and over the Cromarty Bridge and Firth. I just love it when all the elements align. Sun and rain, what a treat.

They say love is in the air
So why can't I breathe in this repair
Let's say we trade heartbeats
What's mine is yours and yours is mine
For when you're here with me
I sleep so peacefully at night
Now heavy coats we wear
Snow clinging to your hair
Let's say we both believe
That maybe all we need is time
Then maybe truthfully
We will be perfectly aligned
I don't care what they say
I am already awake
My hands are shaking for you
For you
Let's say our lips will meet
We'll become lovers as I've seen
It can be black and white
Or all the spectrums in between
I don't care what they say
I am already awake
My hands are shaking for you
For you
Three remaining headed (is that a word?) hoodoos nearly align with three bright planets (from left to right: Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter) in this night-sky panorama.
The orange-yellow-green gradient in the sky is airglow.
From somewhere in Utah.
Venus,Mars and Jupiter all lined up. After a week of waiting for cloudy skies to clear it was a great sight just as the sun began to rise.
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.

La tour-porte de Sarrant s'ouvre dans le front oriental de l'enceinte du village. Elle est bâtie dans l'alignement du mur d'enceinte. Elle comporte cinq niveaux : un couloir au rez-de-chaussée, trois salles superposées et un étage de comble. La tour-porte présente un plan presque carré de 7 m de côtés pour une hauteur actuelle de 22 m.
Les maçonneries sont réalisées en moyen appareil de pierre calcaire. Le toit en pavillon est couvert de tuiles creuses. Il est surmonté d'un lanterneau couvert de tuiles plates.

The aptly-named Spotted Turtle (Clemmys guttata) was once common. Today, it has been collected by one-too-many pet traders and its habitats are disappearing, and so it is listed as "endangered" on the IUCN Red List. This little one is a female, as they tend to have orange eyes while males eyes are brown. She is an adorable little creature, growing only to approximately five inches in length. Due to their size, these turtles are easily predated and quick to bury themselves in mud when spotted by potential threats. When the stars (or would it be spots?) align, though, males can live 80 years and females over 100!
A film-based panorama of Zabriskie Point., originally shot on 2 6x9mm transparencies of Fuji Provia 100F taken moments apart, they were nicely aligned with just enough overlap to merge into this 6x17 view.
Sorry, I know it's kind of sacrilegious to digitally merge film images in photoshop! Maybe I'll get a proper panoramic format film camera in the future.
A northbound Canadian National freight takes the connection from the Harbor Belt to the Waukesha Subdivision at the posted 10mph.
This twisty and tight curve was always a fun time. A few years after this, the tracks were re-aligned and this view was confined to the history books.
.. love the sailboats, all lined up for the HS sailing team to take them out when the snow goes and the temps get warmer
This is the bright region of the Milky Way known as the Scutum Starcloud, in the constellation of Scutum the Shield. The bright Messier star cluster. M11, aka the Wild Duck Cluster, is embedded in the starcloud at left. This is a wonderful area to scan with binoculars and this field of view with the little RedCat astrograph is similar to what binoculars would show.
The mass of dark dusty nebulosity at top is Barnard 111 and B110. The dark nebula at right is B103. The smaller Messier open star cluster M26 is at bottom. At lower left is the small globular cluster NGC 6712 with the tiny (on this scale) cyan-colored planetary nebula IC 1295 beside it at left. At lower right beside the orange star Alpha Scuti is the star cluster NGC 6664 with smaller Trumpler 34 to the left of NGC 6624. Above M11 is the small open cluster NGC 6704.
This is a stack of 6 x 6-minute exposures with the William Optics RedCat 51mm astrograph at f/5 and the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 800 with LENR on as it was the warmest night of the summer, August 18, 2020. Aligned, stacked and median combined in Photoshop to eliminate some satellite trails. Autoguided with the ZWO ASIAir and ASI120MM guide camera with the RedCat on the Astro-Physics Mach1 mount. No filters employed here.

Golden Monoliths
par/by SpY
Rue Faidherbe (Rambla), Lille
Imagined for lille3000’s 7th edition, the Golden Monoliths by Spanish artist SpY guide the visitors and participants of the parade to the heart of the city and its Fiesta. The gold titans seem like a modern take on the 17th century city gates, that welcomed the opening of carnivals and processions. They transform the urban landscape of Lille through the installation of fourteen golden shipping containers in a vertical position, aligned along its main street.
This monumental intervention reconfigures the everyday perception of the public environment, turning industrial objects into symbols that alter our understanding of space.
The street ceases to be a simple space of transit and becomes a ritual corridor, a passageway between
Originally conceived as utilitarian structures for global transportation and trade, the containers are decontextualized and coated in gold. Far from being a decorative gesture, this treatment converts their industrial purpose into an artistic resignification that oscillates between the functional and the symbolic.
SpY subverts the original identity of the containers through an installation that transforms the utilitarian into the mythological, in an exercise in spatial perception that invites reflection on the cult of consumption in modern society.

À l’image des portes de ville du 17ème siècle qui accueillaient l’ouverture des carnavals et des processions, les Golden Monoliths de l’artiste espagnol SpY guident le public et les participants à la parade au cœur de la ville et de sa Fiesta. Ils transforment le paysage urbain de Lille avec quatorze conteneurs dorés érigés à la verticale le long de la rue Faidherbe.
Cette intervention monumentale reconfigure notre vision quotidienne de la ville, transforme des objets industriels en symboles qui modifient notre perception de l’espace.
À l’origine conçues comme des structures utilitaires pour le transport et le commerce global, les conteneurs sont décontextualisés et peints en or. Loin d’être un geste décoratif, cette métamorphose vient bouleverser leur essence industrielle et leur confère un sens artistique entre fonction et symbole, utilité et mythologie.
