A fiddler crab with mating colors, shuffles along on a bluish muddy backdrop. His little eyes are up above him on stalks, but the deep indentations in the front of his carapace sure look like big grey alien eyes!
(a "Macro Mondays" submission, theme "Zodiac." I chose Cancer, the crab. HMM!)

Star Trails over Mt. Shuksan Range | Press L to view in lightbox (must see large!)
This shot was taken during the same hike we did at Lake Ann, North Cascades. I didn't realize I got a portion of the celestial equator with this shot -- you can see some of the star trails going to the opposite direction. Over to the top left is a faint Perseid meteor.
Exposure: 1870 seconds (single exposure)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 24 mm
ISO Speed: 200

This is IC 1805, the Heart Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. Its nebulosity is extremely faint and not something you'd expect to be able to shoot in full moonlight from a light polluted suburban back yard. But I did thanks to a dual-band filter (L-Enhance) I used for the first time that blocks out all that unwanted light and transmits only the wavelengths specific to certain types of nebulas such as this one.
I used a 90mm f/6 triplet refractor equipped with a field flattener and mounted on an Orion Sirius EQ-G mount. The camera was a modified Canon 6D. Polar alignment, telescope focus, object acquisition, autoguiding, and exposure capture were all done from my iPhone using the ZWO ASIAir Wi-Fi device - an incredible piece of technology.
I combined 45 300s exposures at f/6, ISO 3200, for a total of 3.75 hrs exposure time. Images and calibration frames were stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and finished in Lightroom and Photoshop.
And just in time for Valentine's Day.
This is one of the sculptures found at the National Memorial Arboretum which is the UKs main site of remembrance for those who have served the United Kingdom in various ways.
It's a very moving, peaceful and special place sited near Lichfield in South Staffordshire; I was there recently and naturally took some photos!
This sculpture was created by Ian Rank Broadley in it a 'a Serviceman is raised aloft on a stretcher by comrades. On either side family members look on - a mother clasped by a child and an older couple clutching each other in anguish. It bears witness to the cost of armed conflict to those left behind - the families, loved ones and friends who live with the pain and consequence of their loss for the rest of their lives.' (taken from the National Arboretum website)
I took some artistic license with this because I wanted to elevate the spirit of these people to a loftier place beyond the noise of battle and suffering, a quiet and peaceful relief.
Many people of my parents generation (who lost loved ones in times of armed conflict) believed they would one day be re-united with their lost loved ones in a happier, spiritual/heavenly place and they held fast to that perceived 'celestial bond'.
'When will time heal and fulfil the dream of my heart?
When will we unite as one and light our own star?'
'All these memories I will treasure in my heart
Words are so vain
A bond beyond quintessence.'

Note: We have white sand here and it is very warm (well, the color was altered also, it does look like snow now that I look at it...)
My first foray into the art of astro-photography.
Me and my partner Paulina drove to the fantastic Pinnacles Desert north of Perth and I was able to plan and capture my first attempts at this kind of work.
It is by no means perfect but I am still pretty proud of it. This is a blend of three exposures - one for the illuminated foreground, one for the shadow area behind and one for the night sky.
I have other plans for the reminder of this year but I intend to explore this kind of photography a bit more next year.
My first day on my first visit to Chicago has really paid off. To cap off a successful Friday Afternoon Metra rush at CP Morgan, I returned after sunset, and waited for the next inbound Metra to Chicago Union Station to show up. I didn't even realise until 20 minutes before the train showed up a full moon would slide into frame. I guess if you really wanted to believe, it could be consider a "lunar" aspect.
OK...that was a shitty pun, but it was a nice celestial touch to the scene, and the perfect way to cap off my first day in Chicagoland.

or: February's sky....... unusual rains and cold temperatures for this time of year in Mexico, Jalisco at Lake Chapala!!!
I'm sure others seeing this will think of a much more poetic caption!!
We are all SO happy to be seeing clear skies again after almost 2 weeks' of heavy gray smoke cover from forest fires that I can't stop looking UP!
A serene white church with a red steeple glows warmly beneath the green aurora, set against Iceland's rugged nightscape and star-filled sky.
I've been planning this photograph for well over a year, but getting a night that has a half moon in the right place plus a cloudless night, plus a wind from the right direction has proved to be an utter pain. The stars aligned tonight.
This took one and a half hours to take, if it wasn't the coldest night of the year then it was certainly close!
