En primer plano observamos parte de "Tensei Tenmoku" es el título de esta escultura que se encuentra ubicada al final del dique del puerto pesquero de Garachico, Tenerife - Islas Canarias.
Significa "Puerta sin puerta" y fue realizada en el año 2002 por el artista japonés Kan Yasuda. Está construida en mármol blanco de carraca, es una composición de estilo minimalista, que se integra perfectamente en el paisaje.
Al fondo se aprecia el Roque de Garachico. En 1994 adoptó su nombre actual de Monumento Natural del Roque de Garachico. Se trata de una formación geológica volcánica de coladas basálticas de 77 metros de altura y de 5 hectáreas de superficie, separado de tierra unos 300 m. por la erosión marina.
Su vegetación es escasa, con una presencia mayoritaria de cardones y tabaibas. Sus paredes constituyen un punto de nidificación y refugio para diversas aves migratorias y otras que se encuentran amenazadas como el Petrel de Bulwer (Bulweria bulwerii), la pardela chica (Puffinus assimilis baroli) o el paiño de Madeira (Oceanodroma castro). Es, además, un lugar clásico de observación de garza real (Ardea cinerea), una especie que en el pasado se tiene constancia que anidaba en Canarias, en la actualidad no se ha podido confirmar.
El Roque de Garachico fue declarado monumento natural y área de sensibilidad ecológica por la Ley Autonómica 12/94, refundida posteriormente con la Ley de Ordenación del Territorio de Canarias mediante el Decreto Legislativo 1/2000.
In the foreground we see part of "Tensei Tenmoku" is the title of this sculpture that is located at the end of the dike of the fishing port of Garachico, Tenerife - Canary Islands.
It means "Door without door" and was realized in the year 2002 by the Japanese artist Kan Yasuda. It is built in white rattle marble, is a composition of minimalist style, that integrates perfectly in the landscape.
In the background you can see the Roque de Garachico. In 1994 it adopted its present name of Natural Monument of Roque de Garachico. It is a volcanic geological formation of basaltic castings of 77 meters high and 5 hectares of surface, separated from land about 300 m. by marine erosion.
Its vegetation is scarce, with a majority presence of cardones and tabaibas. Its walls constitute a nesting point and refuge for several migratory birds and others that are threatened like the Petrel of Bulwer (Bulweria bulwerii), the small pardela (Puffinus assimilis baroli) or the paiño of Madeira (Oceanodroma castro). It is, moreover, a classic place of observation of heron (Ardea cinerea), a species that in the past has been established that nestled in the Canaries, at present has not been able to confirm.
The Roque de Garachico was declared a natural monument and area of ecological sensitivity by the Autonomous Law 12/94, later recast with the Law of Ordination of the Territory of the Canary Islands by Legislative Decree 1/2000.

This is my first attempt at star trails using an ultra wide angle lens.
Each image was a two minute exposure at ISO 400 using a Rokinon 14mm lens mounted on my Canon EOS Ra. I left the lens aperture open at f/2.8 to reduce my exposure time because there was a lot of activity at this dark sky location. Using this method, I could selectively discard images in which a fellow astrophotographer or nature enthusiast inadvertently shone their flashlight or car lights into the trees.
Images were stacked and Lightness-blended using Photoshop. Total integration time was about 80 minutes.

Who has recently visited Riga - 2023 - must have noticed the large excavation works in the area between the bus station and the railway station.. What is happening here?
Rail Baltica is the Project of the Century or the largest Baltic-region infrastructure project in the last 100 years
It is a greenfield rail transport infrastructure project with a goal to integrate the Baltic States in the European rail network. The project includes five European Union countries – Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and indirectly also Finland. It will connect Helsinki, Tallinn, Pärnu, Riga, Panevežys, Kaunas, Vilnius, Warsaw. The Baltic part of the Rail Baltica project is referred to as the Rail Baltica Global Project. Its total length in the Baltic States is 870 kilometres (540 mi), with 213 kilometres (132 mi) in Estonia, 265 kilometres (165 mi) in Latvia, and 392 kilometres (244 mi) in Lithuania
As a result of the implementation of the Rail Baltica project, a modern, multi-modal traffic hub will be created at the centre of Riga, which will increase mobility, safety, accessibility and also provided new features to Riga, visually and functionally connecting parts of the city thus far separated by the railway embankment as well as conveniently connecting both banks of the Daugava River for pedestrians and cyclists by a new railway bridge.
Happy Truck Thursday!
For Macro Mondays "Numbers" theme. A mechanical integrator is a complex device that was used to calculate ship's stability before digital computers became practical. The complete device is similar to this image: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mechanical_integrator_CHM...
The lens used was an old manual Zuiko 80mm f/4 macro on a sliding extension tube and micro 4/3's adapter, in spite of what the exif info states. Four Olympus high res shots were stacked in Photoshop. I would of liked to gotten one more but ran of focus adjustment.

Berlin, Bernauer Straße
Architects: Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff (1998)
In April 1994, the German federal government, represented by the German Historical Museum, held a competition for the design of a national monument for the victims of the Berlin Wall and the German division that was to be erected at the historical site on Bernauer Strasse.
In July 1995 the federal government, which hosted the competition, decided that the design proposal by Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff should be realized. This design called for the integration of the remaining evidence of the original border fortifications at Bernauer Strasse, and sought to reinforce and embellish them through artistic means.
The monument, two steel walls enclosing a preserved 70-meter long section of the original border fortifications was inaugurated in August, 1998.

The Flying Bat is the orange-ish (Hydrogen alpha) semicircle, and the Giant Squid is the blue (O-III) cylindrical object. The Bat was bright, and therefore easier to capture and process. The Squid, however, is just barely brighter than the Bortle 7 sky in my backyard, and was much more difficult to process. The stars were captured separately in RGB.

While the broken clay pipe used to protect the shoreline along this section of Lake Ontario makes somewhat unsure footing to walk on I loved the contrast it created.
