The crescent moon rising after sunset at The Bungle Bungles (or more correctly, Purnululu National Park) was the perfect way to cap off a day of exploring the amazing rock formations that are found in this remote part of Australia.
I discovered by accident that over the past few days many of my contacts images have not been appearing in my feed, so apologies to those of you I've missed. I'm trying to back track as I can.

Happy Earth Day!
Despite continued vigorous search, astronomers have yet to find another planet like Earth. All around us, we can easily see the unique beauty and qualities of our planet. Yet at the same time, we also witness its abuse through environmental mismanagement and unchecked pollution.
Among the five major types of pollution, I'm passionate about raising awareness of and fighting against light pollution. Here in the Southwest, we have some of the darkest night skies. However, many around the world have never seen the Milky Way. The disappearance of dark skies has impacts beyond stargazing including wildlife safety and energy conservation. Start today and do your part to help control light pollution and preserve our dark skies!

For this shot, I chose a night where a 20% moon would be setting right before the Milky Way would be in perfect position over Zion Canyon. I shot the foreground with the moonlight and then shot the night sky shortly after the moon had set (all from the same tripod position). This was essential to be able to bring contrast and light into this dark canyon.
Obviously Paddy realsies that he should be going with the 'flow' of the strata. Behind looking back at the ridgeline we'd just traversed
The night sky provides fascinating patterns and colours. The lighthouse at Grosnez, Jersey is situated in the foreground.
Almost perfect alignment and symmetry. There are about 25 of those up-squirts in the fountain.

I took advantage of the New Moon and clear skies, and drove out to Coleyville (southwest of Brisbane) last night for some Milky Way photography. These are panoramas taken with my EOS R and Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens.
Some water drop photography. This shot was quite unusual, all in a row but the bottom drop was a strange shape!
Full moon rising over Q1, the tallest building in Australia, from ~3km away. Used PhotoPills for alignment planning. Would like to try again with a longer lens from further away.
Three of my favorite shots from the planetary alignment on February 20, 2015. Pigeon Point Lighthouse is in the foreground. The advancing fog bank caused the composition to change, with the planets and moon ducking in and out of sight. Finally, it swallowed them all.

I usually try to line up the moon and Wisconsin's capitol from across Lake Mendota or Monona but a few weeks ago I decided to change it up a bit. I walked to the top of a parking garage near State St and hoped that my calculations for alignment would pan out. They did and I couldn't be happier. The hardest part was finding a proper exposure to balance out the light of the rapidly brightening moon and the dome of the capitol. I've found that the best time to shoot is just after sunset when there is still an ambient glow from the setting sun, helping to balance the two subjects.
Photographing in a former prison - De Koepel (the Dome) in Haarlem, the Netherlands. I was particularly interested in the way people were moving within the lines of the recreation / sports area, looking down from a high point.
One interesting thing about this period (autumn) is that the moon is no longer setting in the west like during the month of June, no, our satellite sets exactly halfway between south and west.
On 28.10.14 this halfway was pretty much mathematically perfect, the moon (phase 36%) was setting south-west shortly after dusk, allowing to observe its slow passage behind the north face of Monviso (3.842 m) exactly during the sunset time.
Here you can see the dorsal of the mountain slightly exposed to the west that takes fire at sunset. As happened during my first visit the previous week, again a crystal clear sky allowed the slanting rays of the setting sun to express themselves in full power, without blocks, deviations or attenuations, that the presence of clouds could generate.
Within a few hours the moon will fall behind the horizon, right between Punta Roma and Punta Udine, allowing the night to get really dark.
This photo, observed at the original high-resolution, allows to see clearly both the crosses on the summit of Monviso and on its secondary peak: the Viso di Vallanta (it's the most geometrically marked part of the ridge, right under the moon) for its form also known as Dado di Viso... in italian "dado" means nut/dice.

I'm always amazed at the alignment of some guitars and how they keep their intonation better than others. Carvin guitars are some of the absolute best I have played on.

Rising sun thru cloud/ fog. Much shuffling back and forth and side to side trying to get an alignment with the branch and proper exposure. You never realize how fast that orb is moving (relatively) until you want it to stay still for a bit.

The Evan Walker Bridge (Southgate Bridge) is an arch bridge, pedestrian bridge (footbridge) and steel bridge crossing the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia that was completed in 1992. Cocks Carmichael Whitford was the architect.
The name of the bridge was changed in 2015 to honor Professor Evan Walker, the former planning minister. An architect by profession, Prof Walker placed a ministerial planning scheme in 1982 over the whole of the Southbank land, from the river back to the freeway alignment, and invited expressions of interest.
Almost 10 years later, the opening of Southgate provided Melburnians with an unprecedented opportunity to connect with the Yarra River along the Southbank promenade. Prof Walker’s Southbank legacy has been extended with delivery of additional water-side connections through to Docklands.
This one has grown on me since uploading the other version. Camera rotation long exposure light art.
Normally an early morning train, today's HOSR has been pretty delayed. Not unheard of for PSR, but I suppose I won't complain since that helped me catch it after work.
The train is navigating an S-curve on the edge of the former Shell Deer Park refinery (now owned by Pemex), where the Strang Sub switches routes after an alignment-change when TX 225 was built.

In a totally minimalist atmosphere, this picture is showing a very simple, yet beautiful, alignment between the Cottian Alps, with the well known pyramid-like shape of Monviso (3,841 m - 12,602 ft) on the bottom left, the Moon (21%) above, and planet Venus in the center right of the image.

6608 (ES44C4) and 7424 (ES44DC) assist on the rear of a westbound BNSF bulk train.
The train is seen here traversing the deep cuttings of the straighter 2011 alignment. The winding 1868 alignment can be seen to the right.

An incredible display of light as the sun rises beyond Bryce Canyon's "Silent City" during monsoon season.
