The second Mars Exploration Rover, Opportunity, launched aboard a Delta II launch vehicle on July 7, 2003 from Cape Canaveral. The rover’s primary goal was to examine Martian geology for clues to past water activity on the red planet.
The last signal from the spacecraft was heard on June 10, 2018. The mission, planned to only last for three months, officially ended on February 13, 2019.

I’ve traveled the world twice over,
Met the famous; saints and sinners,
Poets and artists, kings and queens,
Old stars and hopeful beginners,
I’ve been where no one’s been before,
Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.

Regulars may remember that several years ago, an exploration followed Dorset's River Frome from source to mouth. In this photo, not far from Maiden Newton Station, our new exploration along the route of the Bridport Railway branch line crosses the route of the R. Frome exploration.
To the top and right, the embankment of the railway line can be seen under which the river flows. Adjacent and In the foreground, an old public right-of-way bridge crosses the Frome. More or less in the middle of the photo, a sluice gate can also be seen that can regulate the flow depending on the weather conditions though how often it is still used I do not know.
Incidentally, running along the valley is part of the Macmillan Way, a 290 mile / 470 kms trail from Boston, Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury, Dorset. It is named after the Macmillan Charity dedicated to cancer relief.
Taken in February and March 2012 these photographs depict St Athan Boys’ Village in its ever declining state of dilapidation. The photographs concentrate on documenting the village as it is today, and showcases the effects that nature, man and the ravages of time has had on the former holiday camp.
Since visiting the Boys Village, the site has been purchased by a private redevelopment firm that plans to restore and redevelop the area into a new community. This means that these photographs could be some of the last ever taken of the historic location.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
Sometimes the best thing you can do to learn new techniques is sit down in front of unusual arts, and just explore their possibilities.
"Seeing" creatively, means being able to see differently. Not just what is expected, but what is possible. It can be as simple as turning a plate upside down and building "backwards", like here. And trying to find alternative connections for parts, like using a 1x1 round brick and a tyre to secure a Trolls hair piece and turn it into a flower.
In other words, explore the possibilities. You might just surprise yourself with what you find.
Jenny's Log 01:
We (crash) landed on a new planet today, Lenny managed to salvage a rover while Kenny is repairing one of the ships to get farther. So far, my scans haven't shown anything. Landing was tough, but who knows what this planet could hold.
Space exploration always exerted a huge attraction on human mind.
It’s something that goes beyond the fascination for the unknown. It makes our imagination and creativity to flourish. It expands our knowledge and in the end it spurs us to cooperate for a greater purpose.
It represents the very essence of progress.
It’s no wonder Science Fiction has become a very popular genre for it merges all of this with our never-ending hunger for stories.
Isaac Asimov once said:
“Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today — but the core of science fiction, its essence, the concept around which it revolves, has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.”
This is image is my tribute to both space exploration and science fiction, a tribute to the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 planets and Mass Effect, one of my favorite video game series.
The background image is courtesy of NASA/JPL and free to use according to their own policy.
If someone at NASA is reading this: Thank You :)
The image is an artistic interpretation of the surfaces of one of those recently discovered planets.
The character is Mass Effect Garrus Vakarian Funko Pop figure. I had to work in order to make the lighting of the figure compatible with the background image’s lights then I merged the two images into the final one :)
Mysterious Island, Tokyo DisneySea | Japan
Nestled at the foot of Mount Prometheus is Fortress Explorations, one of Tokyo DisneySea’s intricately designed theme parks. Designed with exquisite detail, the castle becomes even more beautiful during twilight, as warm lights surround the entire citadel. It is truly, a sight to behold.

Who wants to go kayaking into the depths of an amazing ice cave? Well, that's exactly what we did when we last visited Valdez, AK.
Blog: www.tnwaphotography.wordpress.com
Not far from town is the Valdez Glacier, where we decided to go kayaking in the freshwater lake that leads to the glacier. It was the first nice day since we had been in Valdez, so we were quite excited. The day was spent paddling around the icebergs throughout the lake, which were broken off from the glacier over time in this ever-changing habitat. Glaciers, as just mentioned, exist is a constant state of change, as do the formations found within them. Tom & I had been sea kayaking within glaciers before, but not like this. We were in search of ice caves!
We were lead into many smaller ice caves that were in their early stages of development and I was quite thrilled. However, when we entered this ice cave "tunnel", I was totally blown away! The sound of the ice crystals popping and the waters dripping down from the glacier into the icy waters below heightened our senses. The meandering turns in the cave brought exhilaration with ever corner. That glacial blue ice shining through was probably the cherry on top of the sundae for me. It was, as they say, sensory overload ... of the best imaginable kind. As you can imagine, I didn't want to leave.
For more images from our ice caves exploration, be sure to check out the new blog post at

Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments with us.
Happy Friday everyone!!

The Leviathan, an exploration submarine.
I also have a set of arms and some tanks/cilinders to attach to the landing frame but In the end I liked it better without those.
I don't think I can make it much better than this, it took 4 prototypes to make me satisfied.

The majesty of Vestmannabjørgini (Vestmanna sea cliffs), Streymoy (Faroe Islands).
Known as the Vestmannabjørgini, these majestic sea cliffs rise up to 600 meters above the turquoise hues of the churning sea below roughly halfway between Vestmanna and Saksun, on the north side of Streymoy, Faroe Islands.
The cliffs are characterized by their numerous clefts and green blankets of luxuriant grass and mosses (sheep graze quite undisturbed on the clifftops).
The boats that sail here give an unparalleled view of the cliffs and the birds as they weave in between the numerous sea stacks and in and out the narrow straits bound by sheer rock walls and dark echoing grottoes.
These soaring cliffs provide safe nesting places during the summer months (May-August) for thousands upon thousands of seabirds, above all puffins, guillemots, razorbills and gulls.
