This composite image, combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Spitzer Space Telescope shows the star-forming cloud Cepheus B, located in our Milky Way galaxy about 2,400 light years from Earth. A molecular cloud is a region containing cool interstellar gas and dust left over from the formation of the galaxy and mostly
contains molecular hydrogen. The Spitzer data, in red, green and blue shows the molecular cloud (in the bottom part of the image) plus young stars in and around Cepheus B, and the Chandra data in violet shows the young stars in the field.
The Chandra observations allowed the astronomers to pick out young stars within and near Cepheus B, identified by their strong X-ray emission. The Spitzer data showed whether the young stars have a so-called "protoplanetary" disk around them. Such disks only exist in very young systems where planets are still forming, so their presence is an
indication of the age of a star system.
These data provide an excellent opportunity to test a model for how stars form. The new study suggests that star formation in Cepheus B is mainly triggered by radiation from one bright, massive star (HD 217086) outside the molecular cloud. According to the particular model of triggered star formation that was tested -- called the radiation-
driven implosion model -- radiation from this massive star drives a compression wave into the cloud triggering star formation in the interior, while evaporating the cloud's outer layers.
Different types of triggered star formation have been observed in other environments. For example, the formation of our solar system was thought to have been triggered by a supernova explosion. In the star-forming region W5, a "collect-and-collapse" mechanism is thought to apply, where shock fronts generated by massive stars sweep up material
as they progress outwards. Eventually the accumulated gas becomes dense enough to collapse and form hundreds of stars. The radiation-driven implosion model mechanism is also thought to be responsible for the formation of dozens of stars in W5. The main cause of star formation that does not involve triggering is where a cloud of gas cools, gravity gets the upper hand, and the cloud falls in on itself.

Henry Moore - Form and Material - Museum Beelden aan Zee - The Hague
In collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation, Museum Beelden aan Zee has made a selection of works from the artist's substantial oeuvre. Around 70 objects and sculptures portray the artistic vision and creative process of one of the most important innovators of modern sculpture. The exhibition in Beelden aan Zee focuses on the influence of nature on his work and his growth and development as a sculptor. From promoting direct carving – carving without using preparatory sketches and studies – to experimenting with casting in lead and bronze. Henry Moore (1898-1986) is one of the most important British artists of the twentieth century. His sculptures balance on the boundary between figurative and abstract art and continue to be a source of inspiration to artists. His work has a recognisable and characteristic formal language. Important themes in his oeuvre are ‘mother and child’ and his reclining figures, which he explored extensively.
From the 1920s, Moore participated in countless British and international exhibitions, with solo as well as group exhibitions, he sold work on a regular basis, and so made a name for himself as an important modernist sculptor. However, the Second World War called a halt to these positive developments. Henry Moore left his teaching post and took up a commission as a war artist. It was in this capacity that he produced his deeply moving Shelter Drawings of Londoners crowding the city's underground stations sheltering from the Blitz. In the 1950s he created larger groups of figures. The prices for his works increased considerably and his fame as an international artist continued to grow. In later years he served as a trustee at both the Tate Gallery and the National Gallery and he was the recipient of a large number of prizes and honours.
These most recent pics were to show form in photography. We had to hand in a contact sheet with 20-24 photos and print an 8x10 of the one shot we thought was best.
I didn't put all 20 up here because...well...some were just filling space. The Ho-Jo's building I printed as the 8x10
Formed 1.5 billion years ago from a dome of molten magma, the large granite boulders at Elephant Rocks State Park resemble a train of pink elephants. The reddish or pink granite has been quarried in this area since 1869, and has provided red architectural granite for buildings all across the country, particularly in nearby St. Louis, Missouri. Stones unsuitable for architectural use were made into paving stones that were used on the streets of St. Louis, as well as the wharf along the Mississippi River. The granite from this area is commercially known as Missouri Red monument stone.
One of the largest boulders, named “Dumbo,” measures 27 feet tall, 35 feet long and 17 feet wide, tipping the scales at a hefty 680 tons.
Elephant Rocks State Park was created in 1967 following donation of the land by geologist John Stafford, and is managed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. It is located in Iron County, Missouri, and is part of the Saint Francois Mountains, which rise over the Ozark Plateau in southeastern Missouri. This mountain range is one of the oldest exposures of igneous rock in North America. The park has a one-mile paved Braille Trail designed for people with visual and physical disabilities.

Treecreeper, ( Certhia familiaris ),
The Treecreeper forms a sibling species with the Short-toed Treecreeper in Europe. The Treecreeper is found in coniferous,mixed and some deciduous woodland ( the latter in places where the short-toed Treecreeperdoes not occur ). It prefers more upland or montane forests to the Short-toed species. The diet is mainly small insects and larvae, spiders and woodlice, as well as a few seeds, The food is obtained by searching cracks in the bark of trees and the species runs rapidly up and around tree-trunks, It uses its tail as a support like a woodpecker and rarely descends head-down like a Nuthatch. It is not gregarious and is seldom seen in a group other than family parties, but often associates with mixed feeding flocks of Tits in winter.
The nest is concealed behind loose bark on a tree or in a crevice, and is a loose cup of twigs, moss, roots and plant material, lined with feathers, wool or fine bark debris, Both sexes take part in nest-building. The Female incubates alone and the young are tended by both parents,
The Treecreeper is mainly resident and sedentary, though some movement of northern birds takes place in winter, with some of the Scandinavian form occasionally reaching Britain,

Buffavento Castle (Greek: Kάστρο Βουφαβέντο, Turkish: Buffavento Kalesi) is a castle in Northern Cyprus. The exact date of its construction remains unknown, the most plausible theory being the Byzantine period. It combines Byzantine and Frankish architectural elements. It fell into disuse in the 14th century.
Buffavento stands between St. Hilarion Castle to the west and Kantara Castle to the east forming a protective axis in the Kyrenia mountain range of Northern Cyprus. Buffavento guarded the mountain passage from Kythrea to the north coast in particular. As both of the other castles are visible from Buffavento, it was used to pass signals between them. The castles were built in conjunction during the Byzantine period, however the exact date of their commission remains unknown. Noting the middle Byzantine (11th-12th century) architectural features present in the castle and the otherwise scarcity of archaeological evidence, D.M. Metcalf writes that "it is reasonable" to suggest that the castle was built with the St. Hilarion Castle as part of a major programme of works in the wake of the Seljuk advance in the late 11th century. Among the other theories put forward to explain their origin the popular are: In 965 (after the expulsion of the Arabs from the island), in 1091 by the rebel Rapsomates, during the rule of Eumathios Philokales (1091–1094), at the beginning of the 12th century as a countermeasure for the spread of the Crusader states. A Lusignan period legend claims that the castle was built by a Cypriot noblewoman who was seeking shelter from the Knights Templar in 1191, as such the castle was known as Leonne (Lion's Castle) or Queen's Castle. The name Buffavento is of Italian origin and means “Defier of the Winds", the name may have been borrowed from a monastery in the Koutzoventi village.
Serving mainly as a watchtower for pirate raids and a place of incarceration the castle saw next to no fighting. In 1191, it was taken by Richard the Lionheart during his campaign against the island's ruler Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus. Since the castle's defenses have been described as very strong it is believed that the defenders of Buffavento surrendered after Kantara and St. Hilarion fell into English hands. Richard subsequently sold the island to the Knights Templar whose rule abruptly ended after a major revolt in Nicosia. Cyprus was thus resold to the Guy of Lusignan of the House of Lusignan. A period of peace ended with the death of Hugh I of Cyprus in 1218. A struggle over who should act as the kingdom's regent ensued, pitting the House of Ibelin with the local supporters of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor. Frederick's arrival in Limassol in 1228 escalated the conflict into an open war. Between 1229 and 1233, it changed hands several times between the Ibelins and their rivals. Afterwards, the Lusignans continued their reign interrupted only by occasional palace coups. The castle was used as a prison in this period. For instance, it was documented that in 1308, a knight named Anseau of Brie was imprisoned at the Buffavento Castle when he heard of the accusations levelled against the Knights Templar in their trial.
In the 14th century, the island came under the control of the Republic of Venice, at which time the castle fell into disuse.
Buffavento is situated on an elevation of 960 metres (3,150 ft) above sea level, and has approximately 600 steps leading up to it. The steep crags surrounding it make it inaccessible from west, east and north. Many of the castle's buildings are irregular in shape, as the limited available space forced its builders to economize space. The main building material was dressed limestone from the island's coasts and stones taken directly from the mountain on which the castle stands. The architecture carries no signs of decoration. The castle is divided into two wards the upper one facing the sea and the lower one the plain. The wards were connected by a long staircase, which was later destroyed by the Venetians who deemed the fortifications redundant.
The castle's outbuildings consist of a big water cistern and a stable, which would have been rendered useless in the event of a siege. The castle's gates were located inside a two storey rectangular tower, which encompassed a Frankish style pointed arch. To the west of the tower there are three barrel vaulted buildings and recess all Frankish in origin. The buildings immediately behind the gate are three irregularly shaped chambers, the fourth building's ruins can be found nearby. The castle's main stairway then branches to the west leading to a two storey, unvaulted Byzantine building, which is divided into three large chambers. The castle's upper ward included a rectangular Byzantine cistern, interconnected with 4 rectangular wards containing pipes for collecting water. On upper ward's eastern side was guarded by a short, Frankish, groin vaulted tower. On its sides was the eastern cistern and a building that may have served as a church. At the extreme west of the castle stands a ruined, isolated tower. The lack of a kitchen or a food storage, points to the fact that rooms were multi functional in their nature.

The more common form of female Azure Damselfly is a green and black marked insect whilst there is a blue form with more blue colour on segments 3-6 of the abdomen than the 'normal' green form. This example may be immature and could develop into the blue form but I have never before seen one this green/yellow with the extended colour on those segments. Looking for the subtle variations in markings and colour of this species is one of the joys of visiting ponds in May and June.
Te amo, como dos palabras que forman una sonrisa en tus labios, como dos cielos llenos de colores reflejados en tus ojos, como dos palabras infinitas que no deben dejar de sentirse. No podré olvidarte porque conocerte fue amarte y no dejar de recordarte.
Desde que te conocí llenaste mis pensamientos, y fuiste protagonista de mis sueños. Llenaste mis segundos de felicidades. Te necesito, necesito que estés ahí. Quiero sentir el roce de tus labios y la felicidad de tu piel. No me dejes nunca
En este capítulo de mi vida, en el presente, en el futuro, siempre te necesitaré, porque tú eres yo . Te amo por tu paciencia, por tu comprensión, por el calor de tus brazos que me recuerda donde está mi refugio, mi hogar, mi pasión.... Te amo porque me diste la libertad para que descubriera lo que más valoro en ti . Te amo porque me haz dado fortaleza cuando mi corazón ha estado a punto de desfallecer, y me has dado en ese momento lo que más necesitaba...seguridad para atreverme a volar . Te amo, por la forma en que me haces sentir amada.... porque tú haz sido la maravillosa persona que me haz enseñado todas las oportunidades que tiene la vida... Quiero dormir contigo sin la urgencia del deseo, velar tu sueño y decirte lo mucho que te amo sin que me oigas, acariciarte entero sin ni siquiera rozarte, llevarte a los paraísos de mi imaginación en donde habitas sin saberlo. Saborear la suavidad de tu ternura y besar esas manos cansadas de tanto darme vida. Hablar de ti es hablar de mi presente, de mi futuro y porque no decirlo de mi pasado, porque en ti está impregnada mi soledad, mi desesperación, mi deseo incansable de encontrarte, de navegar contra éste océano, contra ésta inmensidad de tanto dolor. Hablar de ti es fusionar mi realidad con mis sueños, desprender mi mente del mundo real y conectarme a ti. Tengo tanto que decirte, hay tanto de que hablar, son tantos sueños en tan pocas palabras que hablar de ellos en este momento sin ti seria intolerable.
