Rising moon near closing five days ago. Hasn't been visible since due to heavy rains. Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!
A short walk near Hebden Bridge which starts at 'PECKET WELL', where there is a stone War Memorial...
I discovered a couple of years ago that it looks as though it is in 'alignment' with Heptonstall Church (middle) and Stoodley Pike Monument (far distance), the latter of which was re-built to celebrate the end of the Napoleonic wars in Europe 1815.
(Ironically I took this picc on the eve of the Summer solstice too, but am unaware of any 'connection' - perhaps just 'happenstance' :-)
Walking Pal, John, sidles past foxgloves and nettles... We didn't walk the whole distance by any means (only about 5 miles) and my other (walking) Pal, Dennis was close behind (HWW :-)
The sites at Carnac form the largest collection of megalithic stones in the world. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the early Celtic people of Brittany. The alignments are believed to be related to astronomical observations at the solstices. This image is of an impressive upright among several smaller stones of the Ménec alignment.
Hope you have a lovely weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind support.

Sur le coup, j’ai cru survoler Manhattan …
Japan Kyoto : The cemetery next to Kiomizu-dera

Bits of very cheap jewellery, you align these and put a wire through them. One would be 1 inch long. I placed it on pink paper.
This alignment of arches and chapels, along the aisle of the church of Saint Bavo, shows the harmony and beauty of Gothic art. It will also close this small series and I we’ll have to choose the next theme to share!
The bright star on the lower left is actually the planet Saturn. The middle star is Altair and the top right star is Vega. The line up in a perfect diagonal line above the Temple of the Sun. This images is full of natural wonders. Stars, Planets, Milky Way galaxy, air glow, and our home.
Alignment in the Meudon Observatory Park in Ile de France
Alignement dans le Parc de l'Observatoire de Meudon en Ile de France

The light on the desk from the computer monitor.

Pole alignment Polaris with a laser . The accuracy of the guidance can be further improved by aligning the Polaris poles using the optical method using the illuminated scope.
The use of the native ISO 200 guarantees the maximum tonal dynamics and the lack of noise and the need to reduce it later in the photos, even with an exposure time of 480 seconds. I think you can consider going even further with increasing the exposure time and lowering the ISO, ie: ISO 100 and exposure time of 960 seconds (16 minutes) or extreme ISO 64 and exposure time of 1920 seconds (32 minutes).
I am convinced that equally spectacular effects can be achieved with this lens at focal lengths of 17 mm m43 ( 35 mm FF ) and 25 mm ( 50 mm FF ) .

Recomiendo hacer doble click sobre la imagen y ver en grande.
I recommend see in larger clicking double on the image.
This image came together really nicely - there is a flow from bottom right to top left - starting with the small pebble, supporting the bigger rock, the flow of rocks leads to water flowing out to see, the silhoutte of the Surfer heading out towards the breaking wave - moody skies, this has to be one of my favourite images taken so far this year.
On the evening after solstice the setting crescent moon was aligned in the western sky with Mars and Venus. Venus is the brightest natural object in the sky after the Moon and seen here at Porth Nanven after sunset.
The moon sets on the Christmas Star, took a few shots to get the right alignment on this. The star is atop a distant cell phone tower and the moon aligns with it.
Even dead you remain the enemy and loser...................
The German militairy cemetry in Vladso (Belgium)
While the cemetries of the Allied troops have stark white colors, those of the German troops are gray- black and look dead and gloomy.
While the militairy cemetries are an example of discipline and structure, the German variants lack alignment and logic.
It was long be argued that this would be regulated in the Articles 225 and 226, from the Treaty of Versailles, but whoever reads these articles will find that this view is incorrect.
The real reason is that the French after the end of the insane war were ordered tot give the German dead their final resting place and collected the bodies in the sector of Ypres and burried them on free pieces of land, altough it was not obvious that they each received an individual tombstone.
So what we see here is in fact a mass grave, covered with granite slabs bearing their names.
Black evokes bad feelings and the Germans were in the eyes of the Allied the agressor, despite the fact that during investigations after the insane war it appeared that all warring parties had engaged in aggression and had committed atrocities. France, England and Italy had already secretly divided the territories of Germany and its colonies, the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in the heat of the battle!
It was of paramount legal importance that, according to the President of the United States Wilson's conviction, Germany should be held responsible but not blamed for the insane war breaking out. However they were incomprehensible responsible for the reparations!
The fact that the Germans and English soldiers at the front still had peaceful feelings towards eachother is evident from the inconceivable Christmas truce in 1914 that took place in the sector of Ypres.
This incomprehensible event of peace and fraternity during the heat of the battle took also place on field sites in many other sections at the front.
The German front soldiers started on Christmas eve 1914 by singing "Silent Night" and shouting "Merry Christmas".
When the British soldiers realized that this was well-meant, they came out of their trenches and even went to exchange their Christmas presents from home.
On Christmas Day, they played football together in the no-man's-land, the piece of land between the trenches of the warring armies; ordinairy soldiers who were tired of the war could momentarily throw of the yoke of the insane war.
When the army commanders, or rather the butchers, got wind of this, these fraternizing actions were officially stricktly forbidden from above and held out very severe punishments if the fightings were not resumed immedialy. The ensuing battles would claim millions of lives on the whole front.
