I have passed this mural many times.. and taken pictures of it many times. I never seemed to get the look that I wanted. This day I came by, with a Lensbaby Sweet 50 mounted on my camera. I didn't have any great expectations, but the result came out way more like how I wanted it than any of my previous attempts.

In Celestial Embrace, the delicate silhouette of a leafless tree reaches toward the heavens, framed by an ethereal ice halo surrounding the sun. This monochrome composition evokes a sense of tranquility, as if capturing a brief and mystical moment between earth and sky. The interplay of light and shadow reflects nature’s quiet power, inviting viewers to contemplate the profound connections between light, life, and the cosmos.

Yet another instance where I wish I had the clothes my loves do. ^^;

Actually, the cloud looked more heart-shaped than it does here! Okay, so I added the arrowhead, but it was too tempting to resist! 😁

Continuing my 'Toy-ronto Life' and 'Little Planets' series...

 

I watched the full moon of December known as Full Cold Moon on the early morning a couple of days ago. The moon was setting and the sun was rising opposite each other - it was one of those magic moments when celestial bodies are having a rendezvous!

 

I loved how the sunlight played on the buildings while moon was peeking through the cityscape. ...I thought to myself that it'll be perfect for my planetary magic with some bits of texture spells :-)

 

Happy mid-week!

 

UPDATE: This Toronto Planet image was chosen as Photo of the Day on Dec 11, 2014 at "Toronto Is Awesome"! Whoo-hoo :-)

New observations with ESO’s Very Large Telescope show the star cluster RCW 38 in all its glory. This image was taken during testing of the HAWK-I camera with the GRAAL adaptive optics system. It shows the cluster and its surrounding clouds of brightly glowing gas in exquisite detail, with dark tendrils of dust threading through the bright core of this young gathering of stars.

Had to treat myself to this as I did not get around to taking photos of some of the grand sunsets we had here recently...

The limestone craggs named the Celestial Twins stand at the head of Wolfscote Dale at its junction with Beresford Dale in the Peak Park in Derbyshire.

The area lies between the villages of Hartington and Alstonefield, and forms part of the sytem of valleys and dales that provide the route for the River Dove.

Deep Dream Generator, I could not make my mind up which one to post so I posted both you decide ... www.flickr.com/photos/33235233@N05/53287921226/in/datepos...

After camping in two days of rain. The cloud let up and provided a nice clear night sky. Who knew that two hours east of the city could provide views of the milky way with very little light pollution? This was taken last weekend with a Nikon D5100, cheap Manfrotto tripod and a $15 wired remote from eBay.

There is some question about this photo being in Explore. I did not know about it when my friend, Jim Cummins, sent me the link. I have a Snipping Tool copy of the page when it was displayed in Explore, but much later I was not able to find it again and it does not show up on Scout (BigHugeLabs.com/scout) as being one of my photos in Explore. I have the proof. Maybe they changed their mind... : )) It previously showed as Explore #442 on Dec 27, 2012

Enjoyed spending some time being pecked on the head and trying some more creative stuff with the beautiful Arctic Terns on the Farnes!
