Norfolk is only flat from above
it's subtleties
sublimal 'un-conformalities'
rise higher than you or I
nothing compares
no favourable like
or dislike
just good ol' Norfolk
so, we're without hills
they say
our own display
gifts of welcoming surprises...

Escaped the summer heat of Phoenix with a scenic drive up to the Mogollon Rim country with its cooler temps, scenic vistas and wildflowers.

A farewell to one of the most imaged objects in the night sky. A project I started in February on the Esprit 100ED telescope at the complex, but didn’t manage to get round to edit it until now. I used it to practice some new scripts in PixInsight for image blending. I am happy with the details in this image, the Esprit 100ED really is a great telescope for wide field imaging. The focal length of this image is 564mm after using the Skywatcher field flattener.
A much higher resolution image with imaging details can be found on my Astrobin page at: astrob.in/ev6jv9/0/
Thank you for looking.

Was on the way back from watching the Malaysia F1 race to my hometown, on the plane. Early morning flight. I thought I would miss the sunrise as I was sitting on the wrong side of the plane, facing west. I felt a bit frustrated. I should've chosen the other side of the plane window seat. Then suddenly another plane darting crossing our path, flying above us leaving a nice cloud trail behind it. It was quite a special moment/scene to me. I think It will be difficult or impossible for me to encounter such a scene again.

In the mountains there is the promise of… something unexplainable. A higher place of awareness, a spirit that soars. So we climb… and in climbing there is more than a metaphor; there is a means of discovery.” ~Rob Parker

You have to go Large on this one to truly take it all in......not much done to this except some added highlights....pretty much the way i left it. I pushed past my boundaries and went higher than ever before. Hanging out with the ghost trees It felt like i was having an out of body experience. Whenever i get stressed i close my eyes and think of this spot and it all goes away....
*Make mental note not to forget my snow-shoes and my tent next time* Happy 'hump' day!
It turns out that when you climb up over the steep cliff above Fitzgerald Falls, there's this beautiful part of the forest along the rocky stream and a few more small waterfalls I'll show later on. Monroe, Orange County, New York
I'm going on a trip for a few days, but I'll check in to see your photos now and then on my laptop. Hope everyone has a great week!
At long last, here is ... half of everything I've been working on for midnight order. The azurite blades will be available individually or as a set. The set also comes with the Diarch Blade, which comes in both multicolor and tintable versions.
Get it at Midnight Order on January 20th! maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Syndicate/192/187/31

Lore 2: "Thus spoke the Executor - To each noble house, a noble blade. For each noble blade, a particular use. The vampire would learn the blade, and the blade would learn the vampire.
To the House of the Moon - the longest blade of Lunar Azurite, made by the vampire themselves, attuned to the vampire by an elder member of the House. They are never a full fledged member until it is made precisely to the specification.
To the House of the Judge - the deadliest blade of Emerald Azurite. Such a blade is forged in blood contract with magic itself, and creates something that is truly the undoer of all things. This is not without cost - to hold the blade poisons even the resilient body of a vampire, shortening our life to that of the elf: 140 years.
To the House of the Sun - an unbreakable blade of Sunforged Azurite. To serve the military of our glorious empire requires an unyielding spirit, and an unyielding blade. Any cracks that form in this magnificent weapon automatically seal themselves back together.
To the House of the Tower -an invisible blade of Arcane Azurite. The smallest blade of the Houses is not to be underestimated - To all but the most magically attuned, perceiving such a blade means it is already too late.
To our glorious Diarchs - a blade of the rarest material, Noble Azurite. Witnessing such a majestic crystal is a historic event itself, and as such only 5 blades of this kind have ever been produced. It has all of the strengths of the four houses, and none of their weaknesses."

Colorful houses in the town Icod de Los Vinos on Tenerife :)
Smile on Saturday - theme: "Vivid orange" :)
Icod de los Vinos is a municipality in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands (Spain). It is located on a continuous smooth slope that stretches from the extensive forests of Canary Island Pine down to the sea, and has almost 10 km of shoreline. The city is surrounded by fertile valley, and its streets and corners offer views of the volcanic mountain Teide, as well as dense pine forests which descend from its summit to Icod's higher-altitude districts. Its banana plantations, orchards and vineyards give rise to a lively commerce. In Icod, close to the Church of San Marcos, stands a famous dragon tree, which is reputed to be a thousand years old. While no study seems to have confirmed such longevity for the tree (dracos do not produce annual rings with which to tell their ages; the tree is more likely to have an age in the hundreds of years), it is the long-time symbol of Icod.

W Icod de los Vinos w otoczeniu winnic znajduje się znak rozpoznawczy Teneryfy, botaniczny pomnik przyrody, słynna dracena - Drago Milenario.
Serendipity is when you unexpectedly stumble across something good. And that is what happened yesterday when I was out walking on the moors with a friend and a Short-eared Owl popped up in front of us. Short-eared Owls usually breed on the Peak District Moors so I often see them in summer but they are pretty thin on the ground in winter. Most Short-eared Owls leave the higher ground to spend the winter in lowlands, especially around estuarine saltmarshes. Though the BTO Bird Atlas says that birds in the Uists, Orkneys and the Pennines appear to winter close to their breeding grounds, yet I rarely see them in winter. There was a bit of snow on the ground yesterday but not enough to hamper its hunting. We watched it for about five minutes, and it did appear to catch and eat something, then it slowly headed south and out of sight. I did manage some closer shots but I quite liked this one showing the winter moorland habitat.
