Did not have one of my cameras on hand so a cell phone was used to get this photo of some fungus growing on a tree

GUM 15 is an emission nebula in the Vela constellation, around 3000 light years from earth.
Perhaps a somewhat less familiar designation, the GUM catalog contains a total of 85 nebulae. It was put together by astronomer Colin Stanley Gum (and hence named after him).

Background graduation is due to the ‘heel effect’ where the tungsten target in the X-ray tube itself partly filters the beam it produces, fewer X-rays, higher energies, reduced image contrast towards the right of the screen which is furthest from the cathode.
If one Sweet Gum seed pod stacked image is cool then isolating the pod and duplicating it should be cooler, especially if it's Slider Sunday.

GUM (Russian: ГУМ, pronounced [ˈɡum], an abbreviation of Russian: Главный универсальный магазин, tr. Glávnyj Universáľnyj Magazín, literally "Main Universal Store") is the main department store in many cities of the former Soviet Union, known as State Department Store (Russian: Государственный универсальный магазин, tr. Gosudárstvennyj Universáľnyj Magazín) during the Soviet era. Similarly-named stores were found in some Soviet republics and post-Soviet states.

Catherine II of Russia commissioned Giacomo Quarenghi, a Neoclassical architect from Italy, to design a huge trade center along the east side of Red Square. The existing structure was built to replace the previous trading rows that had been designed by Joseph Bove after the 1812 Fire of Moscow.
By the time of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the building contained some 1,200 stores. After the Revolution, the GUM was nationalised.
[...]
With the façade extending for 794 ft (242 m) along the eastern side of Red Square, the Upper Trading Rows were built between 1890 and 1893 by Alexander Pomerantsev (responsible for architecture) and Vladimir Shukhov (responsible for engineering).

Vue intérieure :
This was my last night in the lake district. The weather wasn't great, the wind was picking up and the sky was totally grey. I sat in my car debating with myself whether to bother making the walk up. After sitting for 30 minutes or so, I watched the first signs of the cloud cover breaking.
I decided to chance the walk up Gummers How in the hope that the clouds would keep moving and give me something for the sunset.
This was taken about 45 minutes before sunset, the wind had picked up and the gusts were enough to make me unsteady on my feet. For a brief five minutes, there was a touch of colour in the sky which I gladly started snapping away at.
Deciding that the wind was just too strong for a tripod out in the open, I upped the ISO and shot handheld. Luckily i took a few images and this one turned out sharp. I then hunkered down behind a rock out of the wind, waiting in vain for a sunset that never appeared. The 30 minute trek back down to the car was accompanied by strong gusts and driving rain which eased, of course, just as I reached the car.
The view is looking across Windermere towards Lakeside.
A drive up to Mt. Coot-tha was another rewarding experience. The flowering Gums caught my eye straight away ! At 'home' amongst 'fellow' Gums. The beauty of Australia.
The beauty of these eucalypts in the morning sun would have made the entire 13.5 km bushwalk in the Freycinet National Park worthwhile in itself. I felt a genuine thrill when I saw the way the sunlight highlighted the freshly exposed new bark as the older layers had been shed and lie on the forest floor. Nature renewing herself. I'm not a tree hugger, but I could easily hug these beauties.
If you enlarge this shot you'll see the scribbles on the bark from which the trees get their name. The latest scientific information on this was discovered by Australia's premier science agency, CSIRO:
"The ‘scribbles’ on scribbly gums are an icon of the Australian bush, but until recently very little was known about the cause of these distinctive scribbles. A team of CSIRO researchers were the first to uncover the mechanism by which the scribbles are made, along with the biology and lifecycle of the moths responsible. In the process they described eleven new species of moth and redrew how the Ogmograptis species fit into the moth family tree."

If you want to do some further research on these trees I suggest you take a look at this comprehensive guide: www.fpa.tas.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/110419/For...
Red sap oozes out of the bark, hence red gum. The ants must have been getting nectar.
I went for a short walk in the bush the red gum had just started flowering but not much else.

Gum tree.
It stands tall like a silent sentinel watching over it's domain.
As for the cloud formation, nothing.
No rain.

This was nearing the end of a long day out with the camera. It started with the alarm call at 2.30 am and a dash down to Talacre Lighthouse in North Wales for a sunrise, that sadly was an underwhelming affair. A detour to catch a waterfall shot at Plas Power Wood on the way back North before later heading for a walk in the Lake District.
I went up Gummers How in the hope of catching some late light and had better luck than sunrise at least! There were quite a few folk taking in the evening light on the ridge at Gummers How, but no photographers, which was a little surprising.
Any way, the views from up here across the length of Lake Windermere are very good with the Western and Central Lake District Fells as a nice backdrop. It was a most unusual summer sunset with low cloud streaming over the Old Man of Coniston and Dow Crag just after I took this shot. Here the sun is setting directly behind those Mountains, bathing the side of Gummers How in golden light, I tried a number of settings and this was actually shot at f22, purely to try and get a nice sunburst.
I stayed on well after sunset before returning down and I got some nice red after glow too which I may post at some point!
