Like dew that dances on the tip of a leaf...
Dance on the edges of time....for life is brief.
Nishu Mathur, India
There is beauty and adventure in the commonplace
for those with eyes to see beyond.

La Basílica papal de San Pedro, situada en la Ciudad del Vaticano, cuenta con el mayor espacio interior de una iglesia cristiana en el mundo, con 193 m de longitud y 44,5 m de altura.
La más importante aportación de Miguel Ángel a la Basílica fue la gran cúpula que se encuentra justo sobre el altar mayor y el sitio donde la tradición indica que se localiza la tumba del apóstol San Pedro. Es una estructura que, a pesar de su peso, parece flotar en el aire. Veinticuatro años después de la muerte de Miguel Ángel, fue concluida la cúpula según el diseño definitivo de Domenico Fontana y Giacomo della Porta, que apenas variaron los planes del maestro. Los mosaicos del interior de la misma son de Giuseppe Cesari, y representan las distintas jerarquías de santos en la gloria celestial, estando representado Dios Padre en la linterna central.

Pigeon Point Light Station casting a glow upon the Milky Way. A 15 sec. exposure. Still coming to terms with night sky photography, so this image is a little soft, but I still liked the imagery of the lighthouse "projecting" the night sky.
The spiral galaxy appearing in this week’s Hubble Picture of the Week is named IC 3225. It looks remarkably as if it’s been launched from a cannon, speeding through space like a comet with a tail of gas streaming from its disc behind it. The scenes that galaxies appear in from Earth’s point of view are fascinating; many seem to hang calmly in the emptiness of space as if hung from a string, while others star in much more dynamic situations!
Appearances can be deceiving with objects so far from Earth — IC 3225 itself is about 100 million light-years away — but the galaxy’s location suggests some causes for this active scene, because IC 3225 is one of over 1300 members of the Virgo galaxy cluster. The density of galaxies in the Virgo cluster creates a rich field of hot gas between them, the so-called ‘intracluster medium’, while the cluster’s extreme mass has its galaxies careening around its centre in some very fast orbits. Ramming through the thick intracluster medium, especially close to the cluster’s centre, places an enormous ‘ram pressure’ on the moving galaxies that strips gas out of them as they go.
IC 3225 is not so close to the cluster core right now, but astronomers have deduced that it has undergone this ram pressure stripping in the past. The galaxy looks as though it’s been impacted by this: it is compressed on one side and there has been noticeably more star formation on this leading edge, while the opposite end is stretched out of shape. Being in such a crowded field, a close call with another galaxy could also have tugged on IC 3225 and created this shape. The sight of this distorted galaxy is a reminder of the incredible forces at work on astronomical scales, which can move and reshape even entire galaxies!
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy. Its disc glows visibly from the centre, and has faint dust threaded through it. A spiral arm curves around the left edge of the disc and is noticeably more dense with bright blue spots, where there are hot and new stars, than the rest. Opposite, the disc stretches out into a short tail where it covers a distant background galaxy. Around it, other distant galaxies and some nearby stars are visible.]

Harvest Moon over Rocky Hill, CT.
The clearest photo of the moon I've been able to take so far. All other attempts have cloud cover or the moon is tiny. The lighting around me must have been just right for the autofocus. I think if I'm well-lit, the moon comes out better than if it's dark around me. Taken at maximum zoom.
A small pinweaving (6X6) dug from my UFO closet and originally intended to be the front panel of a purse. Who knows, maybe now a more evolved purpose in Jude's Whispering Sun Moon and Stars workshop.
Celestial Fire
Nature paints its most dramatic masterpiece across the evening sky as clouds transform into brushstrokes of liquid fire and rainbow light. This extraordinary atmospheric display showcases the raw power and artistic beauty that emerges when weather systems collide with the perfect lighting conditions of golden hour. The swirling formations create an almost supernatural spiral pattern, with vibrant oranges, deep crimsons, and ethereal blues bleeding into one another like watercolors on an infinite canvas. These moments are fleeting gifts from the universe - when ordinary water vapor becomes extraordinary art, suspended hundreds of feet above us in a performance that lasts only minutes but leaves memories for a lifetime. The interplay between light and moisture creates this stunning spectrum, reminding us that some of the most breathtaking art galleries exist not within walls, but stretched across the boundless dome of our sky. Standing beneath such displays, we're reminded of our small yet significant place within the grand theater of natural phenomena, where every sunset offers a new and unrepeatable show painted by forces far greater than ourselves.

At Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, Minnesota, the northern lights descend like a living curtain—green and rose threads woven through the silence of night. Reflected in the marsh below, the aurora moves with quiet grace, its light wrapping the land in a soft, otherworldly glow.
Lego Spaceship MOC: The Celestial Empress is a large nuclear pulse propelled spaceship designed specifically to take a contained colony to Alpha Centauri. The Nuclear warhead propulsion system is based on the Project Orion concept and will take this half million Earth ton vessel to .99.99 of the speed of light. It take a little over a year to reach maxim velocity, it will then cruise for a further 4.5 years before flipping over and using the same propulsion to decelerate for another year before reaching its destination of Alpha Centauri.
There is a transit system from the bow module to the cargo modules

Happy New Year, everyone. I always look forward to the cross over between the end of the year and a new year. It’s usually when I’m most inspired and want to shoot the most, however everything I’ve tried hasn’t seemed to work out or I just haven’t really been in the mood to shoot (all of which has been really frustrating). It’s been so hot here lately, so I thought why not ease back into things with an evening swim in a pretty dress and see what comes of it? ✨
photogenic , there are places to set an listen to the music or just cuddle.. or even talk an get to know that special person. just beautful place!
One of the happiest nights in my life. One of the best light I've seen and captured so far. The night I will forever cherish those moments where nature always finds a way to amaze me. The Aurora Borealis is one of natures phenomena only seen by the few. We were lucky enough to experience it on a clear night which lasted for an hour or two.
