My parting effort before leaving the Great Sand Dune National Park and Preserve was taking 46 images that span the expanse of the Northern view of the dunes at around 6 PM. This panorama covered a distance that measured over 4.5 miles. To take these images, I used a Sony 24-240mm zoom set at around 139mm with a vertical framing using a Sony A7R3 with manual focus using a f/14, 1/320 shutter speed, and ISO 100. The complexity came in post processing trying to stitch together 46 images where each has a file size over 46 MB. I first tried Lightroom's Pano's program option and it failed. I then tried Photoshop and got the same results. After Googling for an option, I tried Panorama Stitcher Pro (youtu.be/nmBdxFLuFnM) and it successfully stitched together this 8.09 GB file. Of course I then had to output it at a much small file size to meet the file size limits in flickr. Really worthwhile effort to learn on. Check out these other flickr photos from this location, see: Colorado Fall Colors and Great Sand Dune Grass.
Dedicated to Catness Grace and Paul Ewing for sparking the idea.

I have made my first step into the Macro World and I have to say, I find it fascinating. I know that Dandelions are very popular subjects but I am not sure you have seen this interpretation before.
At the first look of this closeup, I have directly seen the allegory with the human brain. Even with less complexity and features, I believe Nature is much nicer graphically.

With their slender bodies and delicate,
jewel-like wings,
damselflies are a testament to the beauty and complexity of nature !!
7Artisans manual lens at F5.6, one LED lamp. Is controlling this high-tech monster like driving a chariot in ancient Rome? Well, it may be generally less dangerous, but there is plenty of complexity too. There is even a public arena!
Adored this tree trunk as it wove its way in a very serpentine fashion through the dense (and still very green) complexity of foliage. Taken in the woods at Whiteleaf Cross, Princes Risborough.

An aurora (pl. aurorae or auroras), also commonly known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic). Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains, rays, spirals, or dynamic flickers covering the entire sky.
Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind. Major disturbances result from enhancements in the speed of the solar wind from coronal holes and coronal mass ejections. These disturbances alter the trajectories of charged particles in the magnetospheric plasma. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere). The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles.
Most of the planets in the Solar System, some natural satellites, brown dwarfs, and even comets also host auroras.

I remember when taking this shot just how quiet it was in the wood. Normally you hear far away voices from people out walking dogs, the chatter of birds, the rustling of squirrels darting around the trees or deer gently moving through the undergrowth. But not this time, it was if the mist had laid a sound blanket across the area. A great atmosphere to get the imagination racing, naturally spoilt as soon as I lumbered off :)
The view from my place recently - a storm that was breathtaking in its complexity and force. Only lasted 20 minutes but certainly blew the cobwebs away.

P1010609.2 [From the archives 2009]
Erechtheum, ionic temple of Athena, built during 421–405 BC on the Acropolis at Athens, famous largely for its complexity and for the exquisite perfection of its details. The temple’s Ionic capitals are the most beautiful that Greece produced, and its distinctive porch, supported by caryatid figures, is unequaled in classical architecture.
From a distance, this wall looked like a piece of modern art — a stunning, intricate design, like a carefully woven mesh. I thought it must be made with advanced materials and complex techniques.
But as I got closer, I realized it was just a simple sheet of metal, shaped by a few cuts and a clever design. That’s it. So simple up close, yet so elegant from afar.
This photo is a quiet reminder — maybe for me, maybe for you:
Sometimes, all it takes is a change in perspective.
Real beauty isn’t always in complexity — it often lives in the brilliance of simplicity. 🌱
The commandments of justice and mercy, indeed of love or the golden rule, have after all inspired historic resistance to lawless aggressions and to oppressive law. The Torah, the Jewish law, is not reducible to legalism or exclusivism, but supports the “struggle for justice and mercy.” 26 Perhaps it is a matter of infusing the commandments within the atmosphere of the Eros: “Arise my love, and come away” is also an imperative—a proposition in the sense suggested in our earlier discussion of truth-claims! After all, the ethics of “should and should not” may also encode, should also encode the divine lure. For without strong supportive structures of community, society, liturgy, theology, the chances are minute that we can individually or collectively even discern the initial aim...
...How does this unforcing force work? By sparking your desire: desire ignites desire. This sparking process takes place largely beneath and before our consciousness. Sometimes glimpsed in a dream, in a stranger’s face, in a flow of grief, a comforting embrace, a surge of music, a private illumination, a public act of truth. In conscience, shame, guilt, awe at a random sunset. The spark is what we hope for in prayer, meditation, worship. We infer it—and cannot in truth make any certain claims about it, as in “God told me this or that; God wills this or that for me.” For it comes already coated in our experience, in our own subjectivity, in the aims of our own socialized desire.
--On the Mystery, DISCERNING DIVINITY IN PROCESS, Catherine Keller
Something of a stock shot but it was a Colas 'Grid', in this case 56302, seen here coming off the Shrewsbury line at Crewe shortly after it had left Basford Hall yard with the 10.05am to Pinnox Branch sidings (6K38).
On arrival in the station, the loco will uncouple and run-around its train before taking the line towards Stoke to complete what is a relatively short journey. Short but not without its challenges it seems - a class 37 in charge of this working just a few days before had to send for banking assistance up the Harecastle Deviation, and the locomotive sent was none other than 56302.
Little opportunity to avoid the clutter that now resides trackside on the station approach, so I tried embrace it instead. At least there's some more attractive clutter in the background - the old London & North Western Railway carriage shed can just be made out on the left. The track layout here certainly isn't what it used to be but it's still fairly pleasing in its complexity.

youtu.be/bQWjlkl2klw "Out of complexity emerges greater complexity. We could almost say that the universe, nature, is a novelty-conserving or complexity-conserving engine. It makes complexity and it preserves it and it uses it as the basis for further complexity." -Terence McKenna
