Two stars both alike in dignity, in the fair Southern Ring planetary nebula where we lay our scene...
Here our “star-crossed lovers” are actually a dying star expelling gas & dust, in orbit with a younger star that is helping to change the shape of this nebula’s intricate rings by creating turbulence. The James Webb Space Telescope can see through the gas and dust in unprecedented detail. In thousands of years, these delicate, gaseous layers will dissipate into surrounding space.
This image is from Webb’s NIRCam instrument, which saw this nebula in the near-infrared.
The Southern Ring nebula is called a planetary nebula. Despite “planet” in the name, which comes from how these objects first appeared to astronomers observing them hundreds of years ago, these are shells of dust and gas shed by dying Sun-like stars. The new details from Webb will transform our understanding of how stars evolve and influence their environments.

Image description
A planetary nebula, seen by the Webb telescope’s NIRCam instrument, against the blackness of space, with points of starlight behind it. The nebula itself is shaped like an irregular oval, with lacy, reddish orange plumes of gas and dust. Further inside the circle, the gas and dust glows bright blue. A glowing white ring separates the red and blue gases. In the center of the rings are two stars, one glowing much brighter than the other, with diffraction spikes radiating out from it.
Common Kingfisher
Species : Alcedo atthis
This beautiful kingfisher was diving down from the branches, but not very successfully he had the kingfisher blues!
But after a few more attempts, success came in the form of a minnow dinner!
This is the first kingfisher that I have seen ever, it was fishing in a built-up area of Bristol, on a lake.
This little chap was quite far off so the picture is a little grainy, if I am lucky enough to see another one, I may get a better shot of it!
Kingfishers have short legs, and tiny feet so as to enable them to perch more easily on thin overhanging branches!
If they evolved long legs and big feet, it would make it harder for them to stabilize or grasp a thin branch, nature has all the answers!
Also kingfishers will momentarily hover above the water to get their eye in, if a suitable branch is not available.
The female can be identified by a reddish base to her bill.

The extreme large size of this cutthroat trout is unique to the native Lahontan's of Pyramid Lake (a.k.a. Pilot Peak Strain).As residents of ancient Lake Lahontan, these cutthroat evolved into predators highly trained on capturing the native forage fish. The tui chub was likely the most abundant of these forage fish on Lake Lahontan, and is today the most abundant fish in Pyramid Lake.
Today is Remembrance day and therefore a time of reflection and quiet thought. This little angel hangs at my sliding doors in Port Alfred where it watches over us.
I wish you a really wonderful day and thank you for all your kind visits and comments

This is the first of a series I did of this concept with the help of some friends yesterday and it was really interesting to see it coming out the way it did, I just wanted to take a moment to contemplate what I was looking at, I think when you achieve something like that you can call it success.

The most useless pokemon, Magikarp (redesigned somewhat)
Everyone knows they used 'splash' quite a few times in hopes that it actually did something. And all of us were sadly disappointed when the realization dawned on us that magikarp was, in fact, the most useless pokemon ever.

Composé d’un parc de plusieurs hectares, de jardins variés et d’œuvres monumentales, mais aussi d’un château normand du XIXe siècle qui abrite des expositions, le Centre d’art contemporain est un lieu atypique de la campagne rouennaise.
Le château se situe dans un parc de 6 hectares avec des univers différents qui évoluent au rythme des saisons : le jardin japonais, le jardin des cinq chambres, l’arboretum et la roseraie Renaissance italienne, le tout peuplé de sculptures monumentales de célèbres artistes (Peter Briggs, Norman Dilworth, Quentin Garel, Vera Molnar…).

St Giles' Fair is an annual fair held in St Giles', a wide thoroughfare in central north Oxford, England. It is unusual for an English fair, being held in a major street of a city and blocking traffic for its two-day duration in September each year. The fair is organised by the Oxford City Council with the London and Home Counties section of the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain.
The origins of the fair related to St Giles' Church at the north end of St Giles'. This was originally completed in 1120, but the church was not actually consecrated until 1200, by St Hugh of Lincoln, a Carthusian monk and bishop. As part of the commemoration of the consecration, St Giles' Fair was established. The fair continues to this day, nowadays as a funfair, held on the Monday and Tuesday after the Sunday following 1 September, which is St Giles' Day.
The medieval fair was held in Walton Manor, where it took place in the St Giles' churchyard on St Giles Day and during the following week. Queen Elizabeth I stayed in Oxford between 3–10 September 1567 and watched the fair from the windows of St John's College on the east side of St Giles'.
Traditionally, anyone with a beershop was allowed to bring barrels of beer to St Giles' Fair for sale. Another custom was that any householder in St Giles itself could sell beer and spirits during the fair by hanging the bough of a tree over their front door.
The fair evolved from the St Giles' parish wake, first recorded in 1624, and which became known as St Giles' Feast. In the 1780s, it was a toy fair, with cheap items for sale. By 1800, it had become a more general fair with stalls and rides. From the 1830s, the fair included adult amusements and it became more rowdy, so much so that there were calls for it to be closed. By the Victorian era, with train travel excursions becoming available, the fair was attracting people from places as far away as Birmingham and Cardiff.
In 1930, Oxford's city corporation, now the Oxford City Council, took over the running of the fair. During the 1930s, the poet John Betjeman described the fair as follows:
It is about the biggest fair in England. The whole of St Giles' and even Magdalen Street by Elliston and Cavell's right up to and beyond the War Memorial, at the meeting of the Woodstock and Banbury roads, is thick with freak shows, roundabouts, cake-walks, the whip, and the witching waves.

The New York Susquehanna & Western Railway's motive power situation,whether leased or recently acquired, has sparked a lot of interest as of late. Daylight runs of their normally nocturnal SU-99 and SU-100 trains always add a bit more interest to the mix. Here is westbound SU-99 on ex Lehigh and Hudson River railway rails at Craigville NY on 05-25-2023. The train will diverge off of ex L&HR rails onto the ex Erie Graham Line at Hudson Junction in Hamptonburgh NY for its run to Port Jervis and up the Southern Tier to Binghamton NY.

It's hard to capture the dimensions of this thing. It's long. Really long. It's also just really cool.
I've taken pictures of it before, it's evolved a bit since then

I have always thought about creating a concept like this one above. It evolved as I thought about it more into the image I created. It was a nice challenge to create for myself. Thinking about to shoot the necessary frames and how to edit it correctly to make this concept to life. I want to keep challenging myself to create composite, surreal images like this for different concepts.
I created a blog post sharing how I created this image from start to finish. Read the blog post, here.
