Go on, give these a whirl.
Webb just released highly detailed images of 19 spiral galaxies! These observations add new near and mid-infrared puzzle pieces to the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program, a worldwide astronomy project.
In near-infrared light, you can trace the arms of the galaxies to see millions of sparkling stars. Different details come forward with Webb’s mid-infrared instrument. It highlights glowing dust behind, around and between the stars — as well as the stars that haven’t yet formed, encased in gas and dust.

Image description: Nineteen Webb images of face-on spiral galaxies are combined in a mosaic. Some appear within squares, and others horizontal or vertical rectangles. Many galaxies have blue hazes toward the centers, and all have orange spiral arms. Many have clear bar shaped-structures at their centers, but a few have spirals that begin at their cores. Some of the galaxies’ arms form clear spiral shapes, while others are more irregular. Some of the galaxies’ arms appear to rotate clockwise and others counterclockwise. Most galaxy cores are centered, but a few appear toward an image’s edge. Most galaxies appear to extend beyond the captured observations. The galaxies shown, listed in alphabetical order, are IC 5332, NGC 628, NGC 1087, NGC 1300, NGC 1365, NGC 1385, NGC 1433, NGC 1512, NGC 1566, NGC 1672, NGC 2835, NGC 3351, NGC 3627, NGC 4254, NGC 4303, NGC 4321, NGC 4535, NGC 5068, and NGC 7496.

Daily Dog Challenge: Angular.
Kahn & Etta helping dig a new hole for their "Yard Art" (dog poo composter :)
Set back from the road, this wonderfully sleek and stylised Art Deco villa may be found near to Lake Wendouree in the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat.
The clean uncluttered lines of the villa are very Streamline Moderne in design. The mansion is made almost entirely of clinker brick, with the exception of some brown feature bricks along the angular, flat roofline of the enclosed vestibule, the stepped chimney and in-dispersed amongt the clinker bricks of the vestibule columns. The only real decoration other than he feature bricks is a wrought iron grille that is used as ornamentation over a small window. The villa features a wide circular vestibule and very tall chimneys, both signature design elements of Ballarat’s most renowned architect of the 1930s, Herbert Leslie Coburn (1891 – 1956). Streamline Moderne was known in Australia as Modern Ship Style during the 1930s. This nickname was used because the buildings designed in this style often looked very much like the cascading upper superstructures of ocean liners with their towering decks, railings and porthole windows. The rounded enclosed vestibule with its flat parapet and stepped chimney does not look unlike the prow of a ship with its funnel. The whole property is surrounded by its original clinker brick wall with brown feature brick decorated newel posts.
Ballarat born Herbert Leslie Coburn grew up to be a renowned Ballarat architect, practicing from 1905 to 1956. He taught Architecture and Building Construction at the Ballarat School of Mines from 1922, resigning in 1948 due to ill health. The Royal Victorian Institute of Architects awarded Herbert Coburn a Silver Medal for the designs of an Anglican Gothic Suburban Church in 1913 while he was still a student of the institute. In 1917 Herbert became associated with Percy Richards, and they formed a partnership in 1918, Richards, Coburn, Richards, which lasted until 1933, when they separated owing to artistic differences. Whilst Percy Richards wished to retain a more traditional style in keeping with the popular conservative tastes of their clients, Herbert Coburn wanted to be at the vanguard of architectural design and was very interested in following the sleeker and stylised designs of the Streamline Moderne movement which was coming out of Europe. Herbert Coburn therefore started his own architectural practice. Coburn studied for formal qualifications by correspondence with the International Correspondence School, obtaining an architectural diploma two years later. His rooms were in the Clyde Chambers at 313 Sturt St, Ballarat. He was a Fellow of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects. Some of Herbert Coburn's architectural achievements include: St Patrick's Primary School in Drummond Street Ballarat (1935), the Shire of Wimmera Council Offices in Firebrace Street Horsham (1936), Paterson's Furniture Store in Horsham (circa 1936), the Railway Hotel in Maryborough (1938) and the clock tower of the Stawell Town Hall (1939). In addition to these, there are many beautiful, well designed and executed modernist Art Deco villas around Ballarat that bear his distinct architectural style.
The community minded Herbert Coburn was elected a Councillor with the City of Ballarat in 1938, and Mayor in 1945. Herbert’s motivation was the 'proper development and advancement of his city.' He held the position of Councillor until 1952.
I can put this up now it's been in its competition. A hand-held 1 second exposure of a fairground ride. I'm not given to much post-processing normally but this required a lot of mods to remove distractions.
Another shot of the Aventador. Don't like this shot a whole lot, but the car is epic enough to warrant an upload I think :)
Cualquier lugar es bueno para hacer una foto, y mas si tiene un espejo donde poder hacer una foto de gran angular..
por casualidad, me ha salido similar a esta
A rare Italian armet, circa 1490-1500. With hemispherical skull rising to an angular low comb slotted for fitting a crest and the rear of the skull extending to form a characteristic narrow tail, fitted with large deep reinforce over the brow, the forward edge with outwardly flanged inward turn, the inner edge cut to form accentuated cusps and fitted with external pivoted hinges for the visor, with internally hinged large cheek-pieces closed by a stud at the chin and almost meeting at the rear, the sides drawn in along the jaw, swept outwards at the base and flared towards the rear, the right-hand cheek-piece replaced, the faceopening finished with an outward turn, studded with lining rivets around the base of the neck and with a later fluted disc-guard and moulded peg fitted over the rear closure, "sparrows' beak" visor formed without breathes and with the arms fitting over the pivot hinges, and complete with a detachable low wrapper formed with two articulated lames. H: 29 cm - L: 32 cm - W.: 19.5 - Wt.: 3110 g. Wrapper Wt.: 450 g. The form of close helmet referred to as an armet is characterised within the 15th century by the unique construction of the sides which are hinged at a point above the ear and closed at the front beneath the lower edge of the visor. The armet is the direct evolution of the earlier bascinet and its sculptural qualities have given it an iconic place in the development of Italian Gothic armour. The Italian armet in its fully developed form is chronicled by Paolo Uccello in his series of paintings of the Route of San Romano painted between 1454 and 1457, and also in a tapestry "The Gathering of the Knights" from the famous suite of ten woven in Bruxelles circa 1500-1515 and depicting the life of David and Bethsabée (Musée de la Renaissance française, Écouen, ECL 1613-1622). Centres of production in Flanders, England, Germany, and Spain copied the Italian armet. The group of armours forming the celebrated find in the church of Santa Maria della Grazie in Mantova includes a broad corpus of designs charting the range of the development of the Italian armet from circa 1440 to 1510. An example closely paralleled with the present armet is preserved in the Casa della Contandinanza, Udine. See, BOCCIA, Lionello G., Le armature di S. Maria delle Grazie di Curtatone di Mantova e l'armatura Lombardia del ?400, 1982, fig. 164. For a comprehensive discussion of the development of the Italian armet, see BLAIR, Claude, European Armour, 1958, pp. 86-91.
It's another one of those classy American motors, with a stylish design but angular design, but made up for with raw amounts of US gas guzzling, fume spewing power.
The Chevy Caprice has become an icon of the American motor market, being made famous by way of becoming New York yellow taxi cabs and police cars. But even in the world of family cars the Caprice was a truly magnificent motor in the early 1990's, with plenty of space in the back for the school run or the shopping trip.
This particular Caprice is of the 3rd generation, built between 1977 and 1990, and is also one of the final variants built in the last four years as a Brougham 4-door saloon.
Brougham models included seating with armrests in the front, an updated pillow design complimented with velour fabric, a woodgrain dashboard, dome map light, front-door courtesy lights and 20oz carpeting. Power window controls for all models moved from the door panel to the armrest for improved ergonomics.
It was therefore a very good car in my mind, but much like American cars, very heavy on the fuel costs.
