It's officially Milky Way season, and in New Zealand at the moment, you can see the galactic center of the Milky Way rising to the east around Midnight. As the year goes on that gets earlier in the night and will end up towards the west around September/October. I shot this image of the galactic core rising over Breaker Bay in Wellington, New Zealand a few weeks ago. It was certainly one of those perfectly still and clear nights.
With the snow and ice on the Leeds Liverpool canal the swans became ice breakers. Not in this photograph are the clever ducks who were soon to follow along in their ice broken tracks.

A "local" spot i've taken photos of many times. Always tricky to get the tide height correct.
Notes for future visits:
This was a 9m high tide peaking at 10:45am. i arrived at 9am but probably should have been 30-45min earlier.
More like Nuclear Ice Breakers. (Those are a real thing by the way, large vessels powered by nuclear reactors and used to clear paths in frozen seas. But that is not what this is).
This weeks Macro Mondays theme is Candy.
This is a pic of an Ice Breakers mint, sitting on a pile of crushed mints. The unusual look of the image has to do with the lighting. The image is lit with a single ultraviolet light source. Ultraviolet light is commonly referred to as black light. UV light causes many substances to fluoresce, and it appears that the ingredients of these mints fall into that group.
This image has not been heavily manipulated. Only normal adjustments have been made in Lightroom.
Fluorescence occurs when a substance absorbs the ultraviolet light and uses that energy to produce light that falls into our visual spectrum. It is quite fun to see what items fluoresce like this. I occasionally walk around the house at night shining my UV light on various items to see if they react.
HMM.
I love this image which freezes the wave as it crashes into one of the breakers at the Point Betsie Lighthouse on Lake Michigan near Frankfort, Michigan. ***This is my first photo featured in Explore.***
Purgatory for the old St. Nicholas Coal Breaker. There were local and national news stories in early 2015 about the start of demolition of this massive piece of industrial history, and how it was a metaphor for the coal industry, and how the old-timers were wistful. Then work slowed to a crawl or stopped. It had looked like this for more than a year when I stopped by on my way south.

Breakers in Plettenburg Bay. Look for the flying cormorant just left of centre to see the scale of these waves.
