The Very Large Array is a centimeter-wavelength radio astronomy built in the 1970s. It lies in central New Mexico on the Plains of San Agustin, between the towns of Magdalena and Datil, approximately 50 miles (80 km) west of Socorro. The VLA comprises twenty-eight 25-meter radio telescopes
Astronomers using the VLA have made key observations of black holes and protoplanetary disks around young stars, discovered magnetic filaments and traced complex gas motions at the Milky Way's center, probed the Universe's cosmological parameters, and provided new knowledge about the physical mechanisms that produce radio emission.
The lighthouse at New Brighton on the Wirral, tides out and the sun is not.
New Brighton Lighthouse (also known as Perch Rock Lighthouse and called Black Rock Lighthouse in the 19th century) is a decommissioned lighthouse situated at the confluence of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay on an outcrop off New Brighton known locally as Perch Rock. Together with its neighbour, the Napoleonic era Fort Perch Rock, it is one of the Wirral's best known landmarks.
The name comes from a Perch; a timber tripod supporting a lantern first erected in 1683 as a crude beacon to allow shipping to pass the rock safely. As the Port of Liverpool developed in the Nineteenth Century the perch was deemed inadequate as it required constant maintenance and only produced a limited light. Construction of the present tower began in 1827 by Tomkinson & Company using blocks of interlocking Anglesey granite using dovetail joints and marble dowels. It was designed to use many of the same construction techniques used in the building of John Smeaton's Eddystone Lighthouse 70 years earlier.[4] Modelled on the trunk of an oak tree, it is a free standing white painted tower with a red iron lantern. It is 29 m (95 ft) tall. It was first lit in 1830 and displayed two white flashes followed by a red flash every minute; the light-source was thirty Argand lamps, mounted on a three-sided revolving array (ten lamps on each side, with red glass mounted in front of one side). There were also three bells mounted under the gallery to serve as a fog signal; they were tolled by the same clockwork mechanism that caused the lamps to revolve.
The lighthouse was in continuous use until decommissioned in October 1973 having been superseded by modern navigational technology. Although the lighting apparatus and fog bell have been removed, the lighthouse is very well preserved and retains many features lost on other disused lighthouses. It was restored and repainted in 2001 when an LED lightsource was installed which flashed the names of those lost at sea; including all the 1,517 victims of the sinking of the Titanic. At low tide, it is possible to walk to the base of the tower, but a 25-foot ladder is needed to reach the doorway. The lighthouse is privately owned and maintained by the Kingham family, and is a Grade II* listed building.
Another plan to illuminate the lantern using LEDs and solar panels was achieved with a grant from the Coastal Revival and New Brighton Coastal Community Team (NBCCT) and has been operating (albeit only to be seen from land) since 2015. The new light replicates the old characteristic of two white flashes followed by a red flash.

"The VERY LARGE ARRAY is one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter."
Owens Valley Radio Observatory, Big Pine, CA. I’ve photographed this location a few times. I’m always fascinated by these telescopes, their size and array arrangements.
The Smithsonian Submillimeter Array in its compact configuration.
27 40-second exposures were stacked for the stars, and one was used for the dishes (otherwise they would have blurred out due to their motion). Lens: Nikon 14-24 at 14mm f/2.8.
Autumn leaves cover the ground along the banks of the Merced River in Yosemite. Their frosted edges from the morning cold accented their ragged edges.
The Very Large Array (VLA) is a radio astronomy observatory located some 50 miles (80 km) west of Socorro, New Mexico. The observatory consists of 27 independent antennae, each of which has a dish diameter of 25 meters (82 feet). Each antenna is found along the three arms of a track, shaped in a wye (or Y) -configuration, (each of which measures 21 km/13 miles long).

48hrs, it takes me forty eight hours before I will download and see images from the night out. It was a good night and I want to go back for more;)

Montenegro is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the Adriatic Sea. It used to be a part of Yugoslavia. The capital is Podgorica. The name Montenegro is Italian and means Black mountain. Montenegro was an independent princedom between 1878 and 1910 and an independent kingdom until 1918. That year Montenegro became part of Yugoslavia. In 2003 Yugoslavia was transformed into the new country of Serbia and Montenegro, but this fell apart in 2006 when both countries went their separate ways. Montenegro is therefore the youngest country in Europe. Montenegro is not a member of the European Union, but it is a member of NATO. Despite the fact that Montenegro is not yet an EU Member State, people do pay with the euro. Montenegro may be small, but this beautiful nation has a huge array of natural and man-made wonders. Once overlooked in favor of more famous Mediterranean countries, Montenegro is quickly gaining a reputation as a great place to travel. It's easy to see why. The mountainous hinterland is home to deep gorges, flowing rivers, glacial lakes and old-growth forests, popular for adventure activities. Petrovac is located on the coast between Budva and Bar, where the old mountain road from Podgorica reaches the coast. It has a 600 m long sandy beach and it is a popular tourist destination. Petrovac is seen as a somewhat "calmer" resort. The pier and the Kastio Castle, which served as a storehouse for wine and olive oil in the past, and now is a historical monument with historic cannon guns. Also a beautiful terrace that offers you a great view of the sunsets.
Montenegro’s most iconic destination is the tiny islet of Sveti Stefan. Graceful 15th-century stone cottages set on a pink sand beach. Sveti Stefan was an island but is now connected to the mainland. Initially, the island with its fortress had 12 families. In the 1800s, a village was established on the island with a population of about 400 people located at the coastal area around Budva. The coastal area around Budva, called the Budva riviera, is the center of Montenegrin tourism, known for its well-preserved medieval walled city, sandy beaches and diverse nightlife. Budva is 2,500 years old, which makes it one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. Petrovac is located on the coast between Budva and Bar, where the old mountain road, with slopes of the hills surrounding, from Podgorica reaches the coast. Kastio Castle is a very nice sightseeing and photo spot in Petrovac. Not really a fortress, but rather a small fortification that would protect the Venetians when freighting goods in the boats. You can see almost all if Petrovac from here. Not crowded at all. Definitely recommend for the view and atmosphere and you can jump into blue sea from there as well.
Montenegro is een land in Oost-Europa en grenst aan Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, Kosovo, Albanië en de Adriatische Zee. Vroeger was het een deel van Joegoslavië. De hoofdstad is Podgorica. De naam Montenegro is Italiaans en betekent Zwarte berg. Montenegro was tussen 1878 en 1910 een zelfstandig prinsdom en tot 1918 een zelfstandig koninkrijk. Dat jaar werd Montenegro onderdeel van Joegoslavië. In 2003 werd Joegoslavië omgevormd in het nieuwe land Servië en Montenegro, maar dit viel in 2006 uit elkaar toen beide landen een eigen weg gingen. Montenegro is misschien klein, maar deze prachtige natie heeft een enorm scala aan natuurlijke en door de mens gemaakte wonderen. Ooit over het hoofd gezien ten gunste van meer bekende mediterrane landen, krijgt Montenegro snel een reputatie als een geweldige plek om te reizen. Het is gemakkelijk te zien waarom. Het bergachtige achterland herbergt diepe kloven, stromende rivieren, gletsjermeren en oerbossen, populair voor avontuurlijke activiteiten. De meest iconische bestemming van Montenegro is het kleine eilandje Sveti Stefan. Sierlijke 15e-eeuwse stenen huisjes aan een roze zandstrand. Sveti Stefan was een eiland maar is nu verbonden met het vasteland. Aanvankelijk telde het eiland met zijn fort 12 families. In de jaren 1800 werd op het eiland een dorp gesticht met een bevolking van ongeveer 400 mensen in het kustgebied rond Budva. Het kustgebied rond Budva, de Budva riviera genaamd, is het centrum van het Montenegrijnse toerisme, bekend om zijn goed bewaard gebleven middeleeuwse ommuurde stad, zandstranden en gevarieerd nachtleven. Budva is 2500 jaar oud en is daarmee een van de oudste nederzettingen aan de Adriatische kust. Petrovac ligt aan de kust tussen Budva en Bar, waar de oude bergweg, met hellingen van de omliggende heuvels, van Podgorica de kust bereikt. Kastio Castle is een zeer mooie bezienswaardigheid en fotoplek in Petrovac. Een klein fort dat de Venetianen zou beschermen bij het beladen van goederen in de boten. Je kunt vanaf hier bijna alles zien als Petrovac. Helemaal niet druk. Zeker een aanrader voor het uitzicht en de sfeer en je kunt vanaf daar ook de blauwe zee in springen.
When on holiday I am always on the look out for something a little different. A little research showed that immediately next to the civil airport in Riga was the Riga Air Museum. To some this may look like a scrapyard however its content is such that it most certainly is a museum. The vast array which is apparently the largest collection of Soviet military aircraft outside of Russia seems to be slowly rusting away.
This particular Mig - 25RBS won't rust as it is built of aluminium. With a top speed of Mach 3 it really made a statement and established a significant number of speed, altitude and climbing records.
One part of me was excited at seeing such an exotic collection of 1950/60/70's technology whilst I also had an ever present shiver running down my spine as I considered the reasons for their existence. It has to be said that during the cold war both the east and the west accumulated huge arsenals of ever increasing power.
My recommendations are that if you are prepared to part with 7 Euros and have a flight booked out of Riga, do get yourself to the airport an hour early. On my visit I almost walked away from the locked entrance gate until I noticed a small sign with instructions to buzz for help. The proprietor didn't speak much English, but as long as I paid up he was happy to let me in and for me to take photos. I also had the museum to myself so you didn't have issues with too many people getting in the way of my pictures.
