And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” (Acts 1, 9-11)
"You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself flows in your veins, till you are clothed
with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you."
~ Thomas Traherne, Centuries of Meditation

Sisters and Green Mountain from Cross Hill, early 1990's. I believe the rusty cylinders are derelict WW2 fuel storage tanks for passing RN ships.

Norway again and and the Aurora bursting out from behind one of the old farmyard barns next to the sea.
This was shot not long after the show had started for the evening, after getting the right base settings into the camera that was giving good results I was just varying the shutter a few seconds each way to get different results as it would change so quickly, at this stage it was reasonably down down and I love how the light beams seem to be ascending up into the heavens from the ground hence the name I've given this image.
Shortly after this was taken the sky was completely alight with green, red, and purple bending lights stretching pretty much as far as the eye could see upwards, the phenomenon was spellbinding to say the least.
Some cloud did appear after a while but even that didn't spoil it and a couple of more the strange shaped clouds actually helped in a few images to produce some unusual shots, which I'll post soon.
Sunset across the summit of Mt Wellington in Hobart, Tasmania. This was taken last year, and at the time nearby bush fires made this interesting haze effect as the sun went down.
Wings wide open in silence — a white cross hovering above the water.
A moment suspended between stillness and primal force.

I found this church fascinating sitting between a bunch of coffee, clothes, antique glass bottle, and bakery shops.

Nearly 3 years ago exactly we visited Aoraki Mount Cook for the first time. We could only do the Kea track – the night was cold, and full of stars which made it so worth it.
Back then Astro hadn't really taken off like it has today, not many people had even shot Mount Cook under the stars! So finally here's my take on the Hooker Lake composition.
With all my Astro photos, I strive to get the highest quality image I can get. A lot of this comes down to the gear used, and how you process your images. Controlling noise can be an issue, but once you know how to best handle it, result can be great.
I have so many shots from this recent trip to post, so keep an eye out and subscribe! Also, to see my view from 3 years ago, check the link in the comments!
Nature gains a foothold high above the canyon floor, intrigued by the desert varnish colours on the gigantic far wall. Amazing geology on show in this fab place.

in the interests of artistry, my image has been turned for this post. In real time, the raptor flew over head at speed from left to right.
I was in Hokkaido, Japan's most northerly main island. It was snowing at the time and the sky covered in bright clouds.
I hope this ventral shot has sufficient detail. It was a chance, spontaneous action - one of those 'engrossed in photographing one subject and not enough time to change camera settings to suit another' moments.
This black-eared kite was seen in an open area not so far from a river, but close to forest where many might be nesting if not on the wing.
I learned that this is the sub-species Milvus migrans lineatus found from Siberia, the Himalayas to northern India, northern Indochina, southern China and Japan.

So I was recently going through and reprocessing some shots from my trip to Arizona earlier this year, and I stumbled into this Milky Way panoramic I had taken and totally forgot about! It's like that feeling you get when you put on a pair of jeans you haven't worn in awhile and find some cash stowed away in the pockets :)
Anyways, I have a pretty interesting story with this one. So this was taken during my first night out on the trip to shoot the Milky Way. Since we were staying in a suburb just outside of Phoenix, the light pollution would likely prevent any good Milky Way shots so I had scouted out some "dark sky" areas prior to the trip. This is an area I had found on Google Earth that seemed promising and was about an hour's drive away, so I drove out to this remote section of the Sonoran Desert in the wee hours of the morning and headed down this gravel road back into the mountains.
With only my headlamp and flashlight to guide me, I stumbled around the desert in the darkness by myself trying to find a good composition in an unfamiliar place and a totally foreign landscape for this native Midwesterner. A bit spooky I will admit, but I found some good compositions and started firing off shots and when that beautiful Milky Way showed up on the camera LCD screen, the adrenaline started flowing and I even managed a few fist pumps ha.
So there I was, standing in complete darkness in the middle of this remote desert area firing away when all of the sudden I heard footsteps right behind me...I froze. A rush of terrible thoughts filled my head- was it a pack of hungry coyotes? Mountain lion? Drug traffickers? For a few brief seconds I feared the worst and thought I was had. So I wheeled around and shined my flashlight in the direction of the sounds, and to my surprise standing not ten feet away from me staring back at me with these big eyes and giant ears was this little desert kit fox. Phew! It was one of the cutest critters I've ever laid eyes on, and he was not much bigger than the size of a house cat. Totally harmless! So he just stood there and stared at me for a good 5 seconds with this seemingly bewildered look probably thinking to himself what the heck is this creature doing out in my desert at this time of the night- certainly the last thing he expected to stumble into whilst prowling around in the darkness. After that amazing exchange, he turned around and scampered off into the desert. It is certainly one of my fondest memories from that trip, and one that I'm reminded of when revisiting this image.
Thanks for looking!
I've managed to explore a couple of stations during my stay in Stockholm, but Rådhuset has blown them all away with it's bold look and imposing shapes.
It was cold and rainy above ground so the stations were filled with massive crowds who were avoiding the weather above, but the universe has a way of creating these fun random waves of movement that mean that if you're willing to wait around for an half an hour, there's bound to be a moment of quiet in the chaos.
Next time I'm in Stockholm I'm going to have to explore the other stations as well.
