Here is a shot of Devils Tower at twilight with the Belt of Venus and the Moon serving as a beautiful, colorful backdrop for the scene. I had this entire area to myself, and it really was a peaceful and serene as it looks.

HFF!
I found this fence while out for a drive in the countryside. The fence posts were in perfect alignment...straight as an arrow! You don't see that very often in rural areas.
The 5 planets from Rippon Tor which visible in the pre-dawn sky. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter.
I keep being inesorably attracted by this kind of landscape views, just close to my home environment.
The edges. The light and the darkness.
The frozen land and the warm embrace of the first light.
The flat ground and the steep hills.
It's only one moment: everything just happens and lines up perfectly.
Sometimes I just feel that it was written. And I was so lucky to be at the right time in the right place, with the right mood. But when every thing lines up just perfectly, I realize that it can't be no more a matter of Chance. It's a matter of will. And the strive for the need of romance.

Gli allineamenti perfetti
Continuo a sentirmi inesorabilmente attratto da questo tipo di immagini, più o meno tipiche della mia terra. I confini. La luce, il buio.
Il terreno congelato e il caldo abbraccio della prima luce.
L'orizzonte piatto e le colline ripide.
E' solo un momento: ogni cosa accade e si allinea perfettamente.
Qualche volta mi sembra quasi che sia stato già scritto. E che sono stato solo fortunato nel trovarmi al posto giusto, al momento giusto, con il giusto animo. Ma quando ogni cosa risulta perfettamente allineata, mi accorgo che non è sempre frutto del caso. E' un atto cosciente. E lo sforzo per la ricerca di un po' di poesia.
Da ascoltare: Norah Jones, Sunrise

"I often think of that rare fulfilling joy, when I am in the presence of some wonderful alignment of events. Where the light, the colour, the shapes and the balance all interlock so beautifully that I feel truly overwhelmed by the wonder of it." ~ Charlie Waite

A familiar view from an unusual angle. By Mark Higham. You can find more of my photos on instagram at @theartshot360 www.instagram.com/mhigham.photos/theartshot360
As we approach the Jupiter/Venus conjunction on 2 March, the Moon and the two planets align as they slip down to the south west soon after sunset.
Semáforos, luminarias, calles y edificios se alinean para terminar en el mismo lugar. - Traffic lights, luminaries, streets and buildings line up to end up in the same place.
It's not often that I manage to capture an image that exceeds my expectations.
I noticed this alignment of pine trees a couple of months ago, and wondered how it might look with the sun setting perfectly within the gap.
There are only a few days in any year where it would be possible to capture a photo exactly like this. Would the weather play along with my plans?
I've been returning to this exact spot most evenings this past week... hoping to capture my pre-visualised shot. Every previous attempt was a failure, with the sun disappearing behind the clouds before it appeared in my frame.
But then yesterday evening I got everything that I was hoping for... and more. I'm stoked! :)
Sometimes I think I have nothing to write about a photograph, then I start writing, and stuff comes out. This is one. It's a complex composition, almost like two photographs in one. My idea was to try to link the curved pipes in the foreground with the pink, white, and cyan stripes on the building in the background. I couldn't get a seamless transition but visually I think the concept comes through and maybe a perfect alignment would seem too contrived anyway. The frame felt right when I snapped it; afterwards I spotted some of the things that for me make the image "work," such as the repeating vertical elements starting at the left with that big tank and thinner structure next to it, and ending at right with the tree. The dynamic shadow of the fire escape stairs speaks for itself and maybe draws the eye in from one angle, while the shadow of the fence posts, perpendicular to the stair shadow, pulls from another angle and relates to some of the other angled elements like wires, stripes, pipes, branches, and stair shadows. The strong color contrast between almost all cool to warm agrees with me, and then there's things I always like in the frame--brick, deterioration, fire hydrant, wires, brown overgrown weeds, tires, and bollards.
The stars burn above this puddle of the Cottonwood Lakes to the great amusement of the cheering frogs. Three images stacked manually in photoshop.
M357 works up the 2% grade of Steelton Hill on the new double track alignment. At the bottom of the photo is the old single track route that curved much more than the new line.
This evening's epic afterglow!

Venus, Mars and Jupiter glow brightly in the early morning sky, while the moon plays hide and seek with the clouds just to the right of the Mittens, Monument Valley.
Hope your week goes well. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- they mean a lot to me.

Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre/proto-Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC.
