I don't know about you, but I always know which phase the moon is in at all times.
I took a break from deep-sky to capture our beautiful first quarter (59% illuminated) moon earlier this week.
The image is a composite of two images to reveal the unlit portion of the moon for a more 3D look.
The starry sky was also added for effect. I've still got a lot to learn about solar system photography, but I REALLY enjoy it.
Emerging from hibernation after its duties as one of the stars of the American Freedom Train, Reading T-1 2101 is taking its first steps as Chessie Steam Special 2101. The changeover work was done at the former Reading Saucon Creek roundhouse in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. This initial steamup, late in the day on a Friday, was in preparation for a Saturday morning deadhead move down the North Penn Branch to Philadelphia, where the 4-8-4 will roll onto B&O tracks to begin its final excursion career.

Then, exactly one week later: the rain stopped, we have temperatures below zero (hence the frozen pond) and this morning we got a sprinkling of snow. Nothing more, just a few flakes, but good enough for some nice photos!

The season's first snow settles to the surface of the highest peaks surrounding Yudanaka as evening light brings color to the storm clouds, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
The small series of towns near Jigokudani Monkey Park are nestled in a spectacular valley that is rich with apple orchards, small gardens, persimmon trees, and other agricultural enterprises. There is also a very high density of utility poles and other visual detritus that makes the skyline and the way it intersects with the surrounding landscape somewhat less than picturesque. To make this image more presentable, I spent a bit of time cloning out some of the more distracting elements.
A Very Pleasant Sunrise today at Bamburgh, Northumberland. Nice to meet Alan Leightley and Calum Gladstone too
The overall design on these has really grown on me since they were first unveiled, and I have to say I'm very much looking forward to next Thursday.
While at Far North Bicentennial Park, I saw the first Grizzly Bear of the year. Too early for salmon so I guess he was just checking things out on a nice, warm Spring day on Campbell Creek.
And, yes, I was quite a distance away from him... 550mm lens far away!
My photos have been all over the place recently -- or really all the time I guess XD I just kinda like experimenting with where my mood takes me so… its just a buncha randomness. For this, I thought i’d do a little storytelling here :>
Wanted to take a shot over at Oyasumi @ Shijima to congratulate Kenzo on his store coming back to SL. Really glad to have you back in SL and all that jazz.
The open air parking lot is a really adorable place to take pictures in, so I hope you guys pay it a visit :3
Been in the Kalahari for a week now and this is the first time I have managed to get the internet to work, it's really pretty bad. Been really busy training but managed to take my camera out a few times. Hopefully I can upload some more and maybe even get a blog post sometime soon.

Found this lovely large female out basking in a new spot today, although she may just be making her way to the main breeding ground. She was fully out then saw me and retreated to the bracken where she immediately returned to the edge of to get a better look at me. Her rear end was very crusty with the scent discharge so the males will be all over her soon I suspect. Fabulous snake.
