I had the pleasure of viewing the planetary alignment this week shortly after the sun set into Lake Michigan. In this photo I captured the Moon, three planets, and a few deep sky attractions using a wide angle 10mm lens . The reflection of Venus in the lake is also prominent.

Nearly full moon rising over Ahuriri, Napier, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

 

It is always nice when a full moon coincides with a high tide, especially when you are planning to shot the (nearly ) full moon rising over the Ahuriri Estuary.

 

This shot was taken the evening before the night of the 'supermoon', as the semi-supermoon popped over the horizon just before the sun set in the other direction.

In this shot, the lances are held at such a perfectly level angle that they almost blend into the background. Consider the historical context of these combatants. Consider that men in the medieval era not only jousted in fun, but as a preparation for war. What madness is it that man and beast engage in such an act against their fellow creatures.

 

The beauty and savagery of our species can be quite conflicting at times.

Check out the tail of the second hand and the Mercedes hour hand.

On Palatia islet lies the impressive “Portára”, a marble gate of a 6th century BC temple of Apollo. According to mythology, the god Dionysus met Ariadni there, who had been abandoned by Thesseus.

This alignment of mountains near and far, small and big, caught my eye: a hill about 50 yards away in front of one of the Henry Mountains about 20 miles away. Taken from back roads north of Hanksville, Utah.

Just got back from a family holiday in Croatia. This abstract shot was taken at our accommodation, the glass table top was perfect for reflections.

Spurn lighthouse seen through a tyre that just happened to be embedded upright in the sand and in perfect alignment. A picture just waiting to be taken. Coincidentally this week’s theme on www.weeklyshot.org is “Looking Through”. So this became my second image to achieve “featured“ status.

Nothing is needed here.

Local photographer informed me that this close alignment of sunset with Chicago only occurs a few times a year.

Teck Ghee, Singapore.

 

I have not been shooting much lately, particularly HDB scenes. This is from the epic sunset yesterday evening and it was so hot!

Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are cutting through the red tape and slashing bureaucracy so that we cut to the chase and infiltrate the Scissors group.

CN L517 rolls toward Kirk Yard on the new alignment built to allow the Gary airport to extend a runway. The new trackage was recently cut over and in the background is the B&O and a connection is being installed to allow direct CSX to CN interchange here in Gary.

One of the most challenging factor in pursuing a large scale ship model is aligning decks. Even if the framing seem straight and balanced, warping can occur. So it's important to let deck frames remain untouched for at least a week so that wood fibers can tighten.

 

Doing this early in the build will avoid surprises later. Here, i use a dowel at the center of the rail tops to check for narrow horizon.

...That shows off my curves!

 

For the Saturday Night Gala at this year's Keystone Conference, I put together this ensemble and I must admit I received quite a few lovely compliments on how I looked!

 

My Gala ensemble is based on this blue lycra spandex mermaid scale tank style "wiggle" dress with flared & ruffled hemline from coquetryclothing.com, my lovely retro style black stretch lace shrug from a new vendor I've found for retro styled clothing- pinupgirlclothing.com, my copper & black Premier French Heel fully fashioned stockings from secretsinlace.com and my black velvet open weave peep toe platform pumps with the 5" heels from venus.com.

Long time no post! I've had no money for so long that I've basically fallen out of the hobby. But I think this year will be better. :) In the meantime I am still thinking about my characters. I want to try and sort out the chaotic mess their story is. That means working out a timeline- a task that is SO daunting, I couldn't help but procrastinate before I had even begun.

 

So here we are! An alignment chart! (If you're unfamiliar with these, here is a good way to look at it: i.redd.it/0telpo54uxry.jpg) Honestly, I do feel like it made me look my characters in a different way. Some of them ended up in the same category even though I never would have guessed it. Some things are just funny, like all the women being evil. XD I do feel like even this chart is pretty limiting, so they are carefully arranged within each square depending on which direction they're leaning. For example, Andras is in the top of his square because even though I consider him evil, he's /almost/ neutral. He's on the far left of the square because he is absolutely not chaotic at all.

 

They'll probably get moved around as I think more about it. I already regret putting Valefor as low as I did. XD Alignment charts are hard! But it was fun to think about. :3

Found this Tri-colored Heron fishing along the edge of Armand Bayou and he was kind enough to give me a couple of poses. Didn’t strike at much while I was observing him. Not at all like Sir Lancelot of Horsepen bayou.
