OMG! I can't believe I caught this!
So, there we are having a normal whale watch, when I find a small (two male) competition pod. No big deal, except the female has no interest in the two males fighting over her and decides our little yellow boat is more interesting. So while she's checking us out, her escort (the whale pictured) is still defending his spot next to her. Except WE'RE next to her. His bubble stream is certainly meant for the whale challenging him, but it ends up blasting the bottom of our boat as he passes under. Right place, right time, I suppose!
The bubble nebula is 10 ly across, and is created by the stellar wind of a massive young central young star. It is roughly 10,000 ly distant.
It has a beautiful and striking symmetric shape, that resembles an inflating bubble.
It is magnitude 10.
It was discovered in 1787.
Also known as NGC 7635,Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11.

On what should have been a diagram for the visiting 'J27' Class 0-6-0 on the Wensleydale Railway, a DMU substitution was necessary due to the locomotive incurring a broken spring. Class 121 'Bubble Car' 55032, with 'bull horns' up front, forms the 10:45 Leeming Bar to Redmire service near Aiskew on Thursday 9th August 2018.

It's a dark late autumn morning in Huddersfield, and so I'm trying everything here just to get a clear bubble shot: high ISO, large aperture, exposure turned right down.
Photographing bubbles in a dark urban space is more fun than I expected. Maybe I can do some Urbex bubbling. The building behind me, where I live, is an old mill building that's been converted into apartments.
The cool thing here, for me, is that I'm realising I can take bubble photos in dark areas, just so long as there's a sky above giving me some light.

FROZEN SOAP BUBBLES
My personal procedure: Wait until it's -7 to -11 degrees F in northern Colorado, put on all of your North Pole Expedition outer wear and boots, choose one of the 24 different soap bubble solutions that you have created after doing some online research, take it outside and immediately spill some on your back porch, say a naughty word, decide where you want to create your bubble and then change your mind 62 times, set up your tripod and camera exactly where you need it and then try to lower your frozen tripod legs, say 2 naughty words, begin to blow your bubble, watch it blow away in .0000054 mile per hour breeze, say a REALLY naughty word, continue watching your bubbles blow away, finally get a bubble to begin to freeze and begin shooting, watch the crystals form in the bubble and giggle just a bit, watch the bubble pop, blow some new bubbles, watch them pop over and over again, say MANY nasty words in a row, ignore the frostbite now hitting your exposed skin, it just DOESN'T MATTER! ANYTHING FOR THE SHOT!
Repeat this process at night, early in the morning and late in the afternoon over 3 days.

The Isetta is an Italian-designed microcar built under license in a number of different countries, including the UK. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a bubble car, a name also given to other similar vehicles.
In 1957, Isetta of Great Britain began producing Isetta 300 models at their factory in the former Brighton railway works under licence from BMW. The bit I really like about this story is that this car factory had no access by road! All components were delivered by rail and finished cars were shipped out the same way.
As you can see above, the British cars had right-hand drive with the door hinged from the right-hand side of the car, with the steering column moved across to the right as well. Right-hand drive meant that both the driver and the engine were on the same side, so a 27 kg counterweight was added to the left side to compensate.
Dunlop tyres were used, and Lucas electrics replaced the German Hella and Bosch components, with a different headlamp housing being used. Girling brake components replaced the ATE brake parts.
The Isetta was not popular in the UK until a three-wheeled version was introduced. Although three-wheeled vehicles are more prone to rolling over, there was a financial advantage: they could evade automobile legislation and taxation by being classed as three-wheeled motorcycles, and could be driven with a motorcycle licence. In 1962, Isetta of Great Britain stopped production of the little cars but continued to produce the engines until 1964.
The three-wheel vehicle seen above was manufactured in 1961. It is an exhibit in the Science Museum in London.
The friends we visited this week have a gorgeus log style home on a river...they are like big kids and I had fun trying to catch the bubbles (with my camera) as Mark blew them.....They have no children so it was delightful to see them with such fun "toys" to share. I never noticed how reflections appear in bubbles..one half up, and one half upside down.

My granddaughter had a go at this, she couldn't resist the invitation.
It is harder than it looks!

We found a bubble machine gun are were not afraid to use it! ;)
I've been meaning to put this (or these photos) into 'shop for a long time, glad I finally did! But can you guess which way the wind is blowing?
