6:31. A brief glance at my watch told me we were still playing, a minute beyond the usual time. But the group that usually comes on after us was nowhere to be seen, and when this happens we often just keep on going until somebody decides they need to be somewhere else. Not me by the way. I’ve never been the most gifted football player, but I’ve always been the one who wants to play the most, so the rest of the gang were more than a little bit surprised when at 6:32 I announced that I was off. T minus forty-four minutes. I jumped in the car and took the shortcut towards Portreath and along the North Cliffs Road. The moment I finally managed to squeeze past the three cyclists in front of the long tailback and make progress towards Basset’s Cove, I knew I’d made a huge mistake in coming out to the coast. Cars squeezed into every layby, with people sitting in camping chairs, all of them wearing the little cardboard framed dark glasses and gazing into the sun.
I’d been mulling over where to go at various times throughout the day. Or even whether to go at all. I wasn’t really that bothered. It’s been a tricky few months and I haven’t even touched any of my cameras since returning from Norway in late April. To quote my old mucker Lee, I just haven’t got my photography head on at the moment, and trying something beyond the usual realms of seascape comfort seemed even more of a faff. I’m not one for taking shots of the cosmos. Like many of us, I did a few star trails in the early days, but the novelty soon wore thin. But this was a once in a generation opportunity that won’t come around again unless I’m somehow still kicking a football around well into my twelfth decade. That seems unlikely. There are some guys in their late eighties still playing badminton at the leisure centre every Wednesday. Maybe I’ll have joined them by 2080. So was I going to try and photograph the eclipse? I didn’t even really know how to. An article appeared on my phone and I clicked on the link out of curiosity. They wanted me to buy a supergalactic ND filter. The sixteen stop would have to suffice - if I could find it, that was. It’s not the one I reach for each time I delve into the pouch. The article went on to say that photographers might want to take two cameras with them - one to telephoto into the eclipse itself, the other to take a landscape shot and give the moment some context.
Of course I’d picked the wrong location. I could have stayed near the leisure centre and scrambled up the slopes of Carn Brea. I might have chosen the old tin mine at Wheal Peevor East. I could have simply gone home and stood in the garden, or the field next door if the sun was getting too close to the trees. But no, I’d wanted that landscape shot to include the sea. When I arrived at the entrance to the long bumpy track towards Basset’s Cove, empty cars were spilling out onto the road. In fact most of the North Cliffs Road was a car park by now. 6:52, and nowhere to stop. If I wasn’t setting up within the next twenty minutes at the absolute most, then I was going to miss the show completely. Cornwall in August at any time is bad enough. This was even worse than when the leaders of the free world met for the G7 summit here five years earlier.
After another stop-start couple of miles I arrived at another narrow side road I often use to get to Gwithian via Hell’s Mouth, which was also rammed from one end to the other with cars squeezed onto the verge and leaving just enough space for others to get through. 6:58. Less than twenty minutes to go. I squeezed my car into the end of the long line of abandoned vehicles and reached into the boot for the bag that was stuffed out of shape with two cameras, and the two tripods, before marching off down the road and clambering over a gate into a field where I’d never stood before, with a barbed wire fence preventing me from reaching the coast path. 7:07. No time to try and squeeze through the barbed wire as some others were doing, and any hopes of using the second camera I’d brought along for the landscape shot were quickly abandoned.
And so I stood in the middle of a tinder dry field that I probably wasn’t supposed to be standing in, still wearing my football kit, surrounded by people from far and wide across the land, pointing a camera mounted with a telephoto lens and a sixteen stop filter towards the sun, peering in confusion at the screen and wondering what on earth I was supposed to be doing, or what my photos should even look like. Too late to re-read the article. 7:16. The sky darkened as if the sunset had arrived early, and the gulls stopped shrieking. But the world didn’t descend into silence. Not when the entire North Cliffs road had been turned into a temporary car park. 7:20 and the sky began to brighten again. A lot of chatter filled the air with a few “Was that it?” kind of comments from the dissenting masses. It wasn’t like this last time, in 1999, when we stared hopefully at a typically overcast Cornish August sky. That was in the days before we started importing our summers from the Mediterranean and the fields were still green in the middle of August. At this rate we’ll be lucky if there’s anyone left to see the next big show in 2080. Ever resourceful, Ali messaged me to say she’d stayed at home and viewed the event through a colander, which she’d reflected onto a white shirt of mine to see a hundred mini-eclipses of her own. I replied and said I’d be home as soon as the car park was no longer a car park and resembled a road once again.
The next day my brother told me he’d been turned back from Carn Marth, one of the highest lumps of land in the area, due to a wildfire that had taken hold up there. In the event, along with his wife and the youngest of their three sons, they walked up the lane from their cottage, scrambled over a different gate into a place they’ve nicknamed “Mordor,” and viewed the event from the top of an overgrown disused waste tip. At least they watched it in peace I suppose.
Looking West over Cuttagee Lake this evening. Venus, followed by Jupiter, Antares (α Scorpii), Saturn, Galactic Centre and Mars.
Mars is past the zenith.
Zodiacal Light too?
Taken with a full spectrum modified Pentax K5, but no lens filter in place for the exposure.

Taken a little closer (35mm lens) than the previous upload on a very special morning out in the Peak District.
First I was planning for the full moon to rise behind this gorgeous mountain but then I realized I had to wait few months for it to be in the right position so I went for this one instead. Let me know if you like it!

Ciao piccola cometa Wirtanen... sei stata difficile da vedere, con la tua chioma rotonda ed azzurra... sempre inseguita dalla luna e dal cattivo tempo... ci vediamo fra 5 anni, forse :)
Foto scattata alcuni giorni fa, 70mm f/4.
Buona giornata

as the sun faded the light took on a blue tinge.
im not sure what the blue and white containers are, or why they are tangled in the rigging of the Celestial Dawn, though i have to wonder what the two figures are contemplating.

Alright here it is...my new favorite picture. This was taken at about 3am on Sunday morning as the galactic center of the Milky Way was rising to the east and the aurora was dancing to the north. It's a 180 degree stitch of 7 vertical captures from northwest to southeast. The light pollution at the very left is International Falls and on the far right is Ely. The aurora is a little over-exposed but I wanted 30 second exposures for each shot to maintain consistency and really bring out the stars and foreground. Overall, I love it and hope you all do as well!
I'm on facebook now!

The Celestial Barracuda is an exploration vessel that was created to explore the universe. Once it was done with that, it's technology had evolved to allow it interdimensional travel.
Now it is an interdimensional transport ship for the greater good. It is used to find new homes for civilizations who lost their home planets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This year, I finally found the time to build a SHIP for SHIPtember. I am really excited to share it with the world. I had a lot of fun building this thing and populating it with small ships and mechs.

A veces un lugar te puede sorprender a pesar de haber sido visto cientos de veces, es lo que me ocurrió con esta hermosa cascada.
Tuve la suerte de que cayera una fina lluvia que me permitió captar todos los matices que con luz dura hubieran sido imposibles.
Es una de las 7 que componen la última entrada de mi blog.
today I'm enjoying these cool blues; - recently we took the opportunity to enter and climb the church tower of our nearby church Sankt Paul.

A few hours of star trails at Seminole Canyon State Park in Southwest Texas along the Rio Grande.
The Shaman statue was based on ancient rock art found in a cliff overlook at the park. Between 4000-6000 years old and some of the oldest pictographs in the US!
Finally I had a meeting with God himself, at Þingvellir National Park, south-west Iceland.
Later that night I drove my car up to a high mountain in Iceland, where you have a magical view in all directions. I stopped the car and got out to view the nightsky... Then suddenly I heard someone screaming in the dark night, a girl screaming OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD... In a panic mood I rushed over to the crying girl to save her life from what ever terror she was in... but when I approached her, I realized she was just so violently happy to observe the phenomena of the Aurora Borealis for her first time.
God bless you!

Like a battle for dominance of the night sky, forces of northern lights, brilliant moon, and incoming clouds.
San Clemente del Tuyú - Provincia de Buenos Aires - Argentina
San Clemente del Tuyú se localiza en el límite exterior del estuario del río de la Plata, donde comienzan el Partido de la Costa y el Mar Argentino, siendo junto con Punta del Este en la República Oriental del Uruguay, las dos únicas ciudades que tienen tanto costa en el Océano Atlántico como en el río de la Plata
Las playas de San Clemente del Tuyú son parte de un banco de arena que se acumula por las corrientes desde el partido de Mar Chiquita, formándose dunas.
En la ribera de la Ría San Antonio el suelo presenta características arenosas y la vegetación predominante son los juncos y cortaderas.
Las mareas en la Ria San Clemente varia entre un río navegable a embarcaciones de mediano calado o un río de arenas movedizas.
