No apocalypse of course. Just the setting sun that creates a somewhat curious image.
Location: Le Lavandou, Var, France
Macro Monday
Theme: Bubbles
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
I made up some washing liquid bubbles and mixed it with some drops of olive oil in a Petri dish.
I then used a toothpick and arranged this two collections of bubbles and surround them with the olive oil drops.
Only one light source from an incandescent table lamp at 9 o'clock.
They look like Asteroids floating in space.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful MM
Been going through old images for work reasons and I found this rather pleasing sunrise photo. I did post the portrait version but never the landscape one and I've no idea why.
Always thought that the rock looks like an asteroid that's smashed into the ice, albeit travelling at low velocity and not the usual asteroid-entering-the-earth's-atmosphere speed. I also remember it being very cold that day - enough to be able to walk out on the ice covered sea.
I think I’ll stay a little longer in Paris

Asteroid is an alternative name for the animal we more commonly call a starfish, an echinoderm so named because it belongs to the class Asteroidea. I had forgotten this curious alternative name until I checked Wikipedia for some starfish info and realised the image could be used for the Smile on Saturday theme 'Anything with A'.
My thanks to SkyeBaggie for spotting this wee critter among the barnacles during our recent trip over to Elgol. I thought it rather looked like it was running along and reaching out to pat a limpet. It was definitely alive, just waiting for the tide to come back in, but even its slight movements made doing a focus stack a bit problematic.

I was putting the final touches on the edit when my husband walked up behind me and said, "You find the pearls among asteroids." I assumed that he was referring to himself with characteristic lack of modesty. In fact, he was saying that the suburban woods we walked through this morning were not exactly spectacular, but I had some success in visualizing how this scene would translate into a finished photo. I set out looking for a spot captured somewhere in this park by a very talented photographer on 500px, didn't find it, but thoroughly enjoyed getting my feet wet next to the creek.
Images of asteroid impact craters as seen from the International Space Station. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst published these to his social media accounts on Asteroid Day 2020 (30 June) with the caption: Scary. I took these photos from the International Space Station. They show two meteorite impact craters in Chad (Sahara) which are 13 & 14 km wide. Imagine how many times your city could fit in them. To avoid future impacts, the European Space Agency works with international partner agencies on space safety. #AsteroidDay #bluedot #horizons

A big asteroid will safely fly by Earth early tomorrow morning (April 29).
Don't be fooled by any hyped-up headlines you may have read: This week's asteroid flyby poses no threat to Earth or anything on it.
The big asteroid 1998 OR2 will zoom within 3.9 million miles (6.3 million kilometers) of our planet early Wednesday morning (April 29).
While that's a close shave in the context of the visible universe, which is more than 90 billion light-years wide, there's zero chance that the space rock will hit Earth on this pass, scientists stress.
Indeed, at its closest approach, the roughly 1.5-mile-wide (2.4 km) 1998 OR2 will still be about 16 times farther from us than the moon is from the Earth. (The moon orbits Earth at an average distance of 239,000 miles, or 385,000 km.)

It's coming, it's getting closer, it's racing toward us and we're doing nothing to stop it. It destroys our environment and us. Do we really not want to do anything about it?
The right music for it:

Es kommt, es kommt immer näher, es rast auf uns zu und wir tun nichts, um es zu verhindern. Es zerstört unsere Umwelt und uns. Wollen wir wirklich nichts dagegen tun?
This is soooo much easier than making space scenes in software like Photoshop or Gimp where you work in 2D and have to draw each crater, each shadow and so on.
In Blender (which is a 3D environment) you just create a 3D object - like a rock - then add a material to it, bump or displace it to create relief, add a light that automatically results in the right shadows. And by moving your camera around you can look at the same scene from a different perspective.

Once again I spent a weekend with Moritz - happineeeess! :)
Thank you, for letting me use your props and your studio equipment, for helping me with this photo and most of all, for always making me laugh.
Aren't we all like some sort of celestial bodies, floating on our paths? Sometimes I spend hours wondering how human beings influence each other and what happens when we collide. And I keep on wondering.
*THESE ARE NOT MY PHOTOS!!*
I'm not sure when I first happened up on an Asteroid pic. Honestly? It was probably while I was searching Explore (looking to see if any of my pics were there right? haha) In any case, I've been hooked ever since. Despite his hundreds of pics on Explore and near stardom on flickr he's a very real person. If you leave a real comment on a pic or two of his you'll find this out. ;o) I must admit, that of all the photostreams I frequent his can be the raciest... but never in a nasty way and he usually makes me laugh. I love his colorful silhouettes and fabulous play with DoF!!
SO... visit away! have fun :o)
