The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse, built in 1881, is a squaretapered wooden lighthouse with an attached dwelling. The lighthouse is located on the eastern tip of Prince Edward Point, Ontario. Besides the combined 7.8-metre (26 foot) lighthouse and keeper’s residence, the lightstation also includes a detached shed. The lighthouse was automated in 1941 and operated until 1959 when it was replaced by a steel skeleton tower.
The lighthouse is associated with various shipwrecks that occurred in this area, colloquially called the “Graveyard of Lake Ontario”.
The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse supported the shipping industry, marking a safe avenue for commercial ships travelling through the waters of Lake Ontario for nearly 80 years. The lighthouse marks the only protected harbour for a distance of approximately 60 nautical miles.
Prince Edward Point Lighthouse was recognized as a Heritage Lighthouse in 2015. (Parks Canada)

The end of the trail at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, the lighthouse is a good spot to look for sea ducks during migration, as well as gulls and cormorants. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded on the trails and lake.

Shot in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. I usually only post one shot from a given scene but looking back in the archives I decided a second shot from this sequence might be worthy of posting.

Farms have changed from pure and organic places out in the country side to highly efficient production areas with fully automated aseptic processes - the changing of an image.
During several years now I am following these traces of agricultur within its transition - often hidden at the outskirts of small citys or villages. You'll never see any animals there, you don't even hear them. The smell of thousands of these creatures is taken away by efficient filter systems. The lives of these animals is unvisible and not recognized by anybody except of the farmers or better said agrar technicians.
There are biogas plants which look a bit like atomic plants - in a way artificial and extremely clean and propper.
So many different aspects are spotted during my photographic work on this topic and I guess it is worth to share my experience.

Union Pacific work train takes the weekend off, tied down on the center siding at Echo, Utah on June 26, 2021. The 30-car train is a Herzog Automated Conveyor Train, designed to distribute up to 2,900 tons of ballast and other materials on curved track. It had been used the previous day along Main No. 2 near Devils Slide.
C’est la doyenne des églises de Dijon, et certainement la plus familière. Commencée en 1230, elle fut achevée en 1250. Elle présente une façade remarquable avec son triple rang de fausses gargouilles encadrant de fines arcatures. Tout au-dessus, Jacquemart administre l’heure depuis 1383 : l’automate et son horloge furent ramenés du beffroi de Courtrai par Philippe le Hardi, comme prise de guerre.
This is the oldest church in Dijon, and certainly the most familiar. Started in 1230, it was completed in 1250. It has a remarkable façade with its triple row of false gargoyles framing fine arches. Right above, Jacquemart has been administering the time since 1383: the automaton and its clock were brought back from the belfry of Courtrai by Philip the Bold, as a war prize.

After that disaster with the OFE units, the Blue Mystery company dissolved and was never heard of again. Or so it seems.
They moved off-world and worked in secret for many years on a new line of robots. With the launch of their latest product, S.A.P.E (Sentient Automated Planetary Explorer) they took over space exploration.
And indeed for a while all was well and Blue Mystery was able to clear their name. Until reports came in from far and wide about the sheer stupidity of the S.A.P.E. units. It was not long before people referred to them as "Stupid Apes". And with that the fate of Blue Mystery was finally sealed.
Eigerøy Lighthouse (Norwegian: Eigerøy fyr) is a coastal lighthouse located at the small island of Midbrødøya which is located immediately west of the island of Eigerøya in Eigersund municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It was established in 1854 and automated in 1989.
This was Norway's first cast iron lighthouse, and its success encouraged the building of many more on the Norwegian coastline. The light sits at an elevation of 46.5 metres (153 ft) above sea level, sitting atop a 32.9-metre (108 ft) tall tower. The light emits three white flashes every 30 seconds. The light uses a 1st order Fresnel lens and produces a 3,905,000-candela light. The light can be seen from all directions for up to 18.8 nautical miles (34.8 km; 21.6 mi).(Wikipedia)

While in Bryce Canyon teaching a workshop this last weekend I wanted to try out an idea I've had for a very long time, automated tracked Nightscape imaging. I didn't have enough time to collect the foreground images, but I at least wanted to put together a bit of a test for the sky sequence. Luckily the ASIAir Pro has developed a new plan module which allows importing a mosaic from Telescopius, this allowed me to create a mosaic with the 2600mc Pro and my Voigtlander 50mm APO lens that would cover pretty much the entire arch. I waited a little too long to start the plan (waiting for the moon to set) so the plan ended up only covering a portion of the horizon, in the future I'll arrange the panel order to cover the entire horizon. The AAP controls everything (including slewing and centering the mount on each panel)! Only one panel failed, the target centering coordinates were below the horizon by the time I got to it and it couldn't execute that panel.
This plan is a 35 panel mosaic, each panel is a single 2 minute exposure at gain 100 and f2.5 with my ASI2600mc Pro and Voigtlander 50mm APO lens on a Sky Watcher AZ-GTi mount. Calibrated with a master bias and master flat, edited in PixInsight and Photoshop. We had some pretty crazy airglow that night which made color balancing and stitching a challenge, it moved pretty quick so getting the panels to stitch together evenly was a lot of work!

A Union Pacific RBL rests at North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 30, 1977. It was fresh from a rebuild and repaint in Pocatello, Idaho. The BI-70-10 box cars were insulated, 70-ton RBLs built by GATC in 1967 (490500-490699 series). They were standard RBLs with cushioned under frames, roller-bearing trucks, and loader-equipped with 10'-6" flush doors. The series were used to haul paper, canned goods, plywood, and particle board.

In countless big cities across the Galactic Federation, especially in hive-cities with complex system of highways and smaller roads, the problem of traffic congestion and a high number of accidents is especially acute. So in some those cities personal cars was replaced by an automatic taxi system. It is made up of millions of public cabs that do not require a driver to operate and can operate on dedicated traffic lines as well as on numerous small branches off major highways.
These electric vehicles do not have a rear or front and move in both directions equally quickly, which greatly simplifies city traffic and does not waste time on turning. Also, the salon is pressurized and even has life support systems, thanks to which these cabs can be used in cities with the most unfavorable ecology or on the surface of planets where there is no breathable atmosphere. Due to the fact that all cabs are controlled by automatics and connected to a single network, the accident rate of this type of transport is minimized.
P.S. Only after hour long rendering I noticed that cars "levitating" above the ground. And I'm too lazy to re-render it. :P
This was an extreme macro photo where 28 Images have been stacked to produce a larger depth of field. This was shot with the Laowa 100mm 2:1 macro at 2:1 with 52mm of extension tubes resulting in a final magnification of approx. 2.52X. Photos taken at f/4 with ~0.15mm steps forward between each shot using my DIY automated Macro Rail (Working progress). This is not a perfect shot but I was quite happy with it.
