We are like astronauts, dreaming on the moon, observing the stars,
exploring the skies and searching for moments that took our breathe away.
This is an interior of the Po Ling Temple, Jalan Ampang. The temple is located beside Menara Atlan. What attracted me was the well sculptured colourful ceiling and the reversed lotus chandelier in the centre. For this shot, I wished I had a super-wide-angle lens.
This was created in Photomatix3 - Tone Compressor, on 3 frames taken hand-held. I used a exposure gradient for the ceiling to brighten it up by 1.5 EV.
Lens: EFS 18-135 IS
EXIF: f8, 1/40sec +/- 1.33EV, ISO-3200, 18mm, Pattern, no flash, Aperture Priority.
She is made for love,
this,
so she is not afraid.
What would she fear? Becoming?
Feeling the heartbeat of another and
sinking (syncing)?
Why would she start and shudder, stepping into herself?
We are not hiding,
we do not regret.
We are simply walking, moving,
things are only changing, growing,
and with every silken step on sooted ground
we are giving birth.
Narrow birth, to each other, we are giving,
gifts held in open hands, courage,
we are not reflecting for once, instead we are examples
to each other.
There is only time,
woven and unwoven,
there is only a series of this moment,
a hive of nows buzzing like
the murmur of your voice when my fingers move
in just the precise way to make such magic.
You are a pendulum that keeps swinging
my way, you are
war and the harvest,
you are burning through and dropping seeds, giving me ground to sew my own
oats and I will reap them with or without you but under your blessings.
We are blessing each other with every fingerprint,
communing, placing the wafer on each other's tongues,
washing our feet and face and hands before we come to kneel
in tandem.
She is made for love, vanity a trapping,
she has laid traps but not today because he comes over and again
like the tongue of a ticking clock.
Let's do this the hard way, slowly,
let's pick up where it left off,
let's be her and him, you are
always a rock to flow around.
How many times will we sway back and forth? Until we both are those tongues,
pendulous and ripe,
and only what we are.
Let's do this the only way,
eyes wide open,
certainly.

A 40-minute exposure of a pair of Jabiru Storks in their nest at night. This shot was taken in the Pantanal, Brazil. We lined up the tree with the southern celestial axis of rotation. We're giving a talk about the Pantanal on 6th March at the London Wetland Centre, more details here.

The stars don’t ask for attention. The tree doesn’t strive to be noticed. Yet here, beneath the arc of the Milky Way, everything feels seen.
Spending time in wild places reminds me of what matters. When I step away from noise, from expectations, from screens and timelines, and simply stand in the stillness — that's when I feel most like myself.
This tree, lit quietly in the dark, mirrors what I hope to become: grounded, steady, quietly reaching for the light.
Nature isn't just a place I photograph — it's where I reconnect with wonder, humility, and peace. Out here, I'm not chasing a shot. I'm remembering who I am.

In the year 2250, a group of elderly humans finds solace and nostalgia in a space diner called "Celestial Echoes." Adorned with captivating alien paintings on its walls, the diner becomes a gathering place for the old generation.

Caught this view at an elevation of ~4950m through and old nikon nifty 50mm 1,8d. Although the lens has coma but the close up view of milky way output is something I enjoyed shooting just after Moon came up the horizon lighting the whole landscape faintly.
Wyoming road with car lights making for a celestial experience with the Milky shinning bright in the night sky. For more please fav, follow and share. Very much appreciated!

Milky Way Over Ballybrannigan Beach during the Perseid Meteor Shower. Ballybrannigan Beach, East Cork, Co. Cork, Ireland
This narrowband image captures the Horsehead Nebula (B33) and its surrounding cosmic objects, including the Emission Nebula (IC 434) and the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024). Instead of using the conventional Hubble Palette of SHO, this image employs a reversed SII and Ha channel, resulting in a less-used HSO coloration.
The data for this image was collected over consecutive nights with each filter used for an approximately 150 minutes. A Williams Optics Zenithstar 73 telescope and an ASI294MM Pro camera were utilized resulting in a total of 7.5 hours of imaging. The images were then processed using Pixinsight and Photoshop.
Customarily used to summon worshippers to Mass or witnesses to weddings, I can imagine this church bell also being sounded to let people know of the majesty, wonder and glory on display in the sky overhead at night. The bell tower is out of sight from the two roads that intersect as they pass the St Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church at Gerringong, Australia, but I'm sure the clanging of the lone bell can be heard in all directions.
Reaching upwards between the tower and the tree is a bright and dense stretch of stars marking out our Milky Way galaxy's central band. I caught the two "pointer" stars, Alpha and Beta Centauri, nudging the viewer's line of sight towards the Coal Sack Nebula and the Southern Cross. Higher in the sky to the right of the tower's top are the dwarf galaxies known as the Magellanic Clouds.
My photo for today is a single-frame image that I shot using my Canon EOS 6D Mk II camera, a Samyang 14mm f/2.4 lens @ f/3.2, exposed for 20 seconds @ ISO 3200.
I always tell our landscape photography workshop clients “ you don’t need bright colours to make compelling photos”, I almost prefer these muted, moody less complicated colour palettes. This was taken recently during winter in New Zealand.
