Jupiter, Mars and Venus were aligned for this photograph taken in Sea Isle City, NJ during the Leonid meteor shower.
Sometimes, breaking free from the usual routine also brings in Harmony!
MY FIRST " EXPLORE" pic on Flick!
Maine.
This was taken the same day as the previous amazing clouds photo, but a couple hours earlier before the clouds arrived. Larger.
A 300º panorama of the evening sky on January 18, 2025, with the array of 4 naked eye planets across the sky, from R to L:
- Bright Venus in the southwest in Aquarius ...
- With much dimmer Saturn just below it (the two planets were nearly at the closest approach this night),
- Bright Jupiter, left of centre at top in Taurus near Aldebaran and above Orion
- Bright reddish Mars at left below Castor and Pollux in Gemini. Mars was just past its biennial opposition point this night so was nearly at its brightest.
During some of the segments, the Space Station photobombed the scene, rising out of the southwest and traveling right to left (west to east) creating the streak above Venus and Saturn.
At far left and due north are the stars of the Big Dipper. North is at far left, east is toward Mars, south is at centre, and west is at far right.
Technical:
This is a panorama of 9 segments, each 20 seconds at f/2.8 with the Viltrox 16mm lens on the Nikon Z6III at ISO 800 and in landscape orientation. No tracking was used here, so the stars are trailed. Stitched in PTGui.
It was a chilly -25° C this night with a brisk and cold wind.
I've never had the sun set behind that tree before, like a furnace with its door open, after a glorious summer's day. The pinprick of light in the middle distance is a signal.
A Turbo is passing by on the run between Marylebone and Birmingham. Taken eight minutes after the previous shot. Best seen really large!

In some ways this is almost the exact opposite of the previous image in my stream. The fortunate zig-zag alignment of the clouds and reflections and their bright colours combine to create a "shouting image", as opposed to the more gentle tones of Caister Shoreline.

THought i'd post this, despite the obvious symmetrical alignment issues - which is actually more to do with the architecture due to the angles of its structure. Love the subtle colouring due to this side being in the shade.
Well, this is not my best work. It was handheld, 05:38, in the morning, grabbed before the clouds rolled it.

Most people probably don't know this but it's something I learned in college. If you get on the center railing of the steps to the Central Library and look south you will see that everthing from that center railing to the Chase Tower and everyting in between are perfectly aligned.

The apparent alignment of layers of ochre and the Milky Way at the Ochre Cliffs north of Lyndhurst, South Australia. Lit by moonlight. Processed with a daylight white balance for star colours in Lightroom, Tamron lens.
The SS Badger sails into Ludington Michigan with the setting sun in the background. This juxaposition occurred because of the sun's position in early October and the fact that the Badger was 25 minutes late into port.
The Badger was built in 1953 and is the last large coal burning steamship in the US. The Badger shuttles both cars and passengers between Michigan and Wisconsin and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 2013 season will end on October 13.
Of course I had to post the picture of the full eclipse tonight. It was spectacular. When the eclipse began, the moon was as white as always, but as the earth shaded the sun and the shadow fell upon the moon, that moon turned red. I learned that it is because the light from the sun bends around the edges of the earth like a sunrise, but around the entire perimeter of the earth and casts a red orange glow onto the moon. The coincidence of this alignment boggles my mind.
HBW everyone. Digging a photo out of my archives.
Thank you for your patience while I've busy with work and the recurrence of this inner ear infection which has kept me away from Flickr. I've stopped in briefly to look at some photos and will begin catching up with all of you over the course of the week.
I hope you are all doing well.
