Shards galore at the One New Change shopping complex near St Pauls in the City (resisted the cliché shot with the triple reflection of the cathedral in one of the mall's inner lanes)
At first glance, this cosmic kaleidoscope of purple, blue and pink offers a strikingly beautiful — and serene — snapshot of the cosmos. However, this multi-coloured haze actually marks the site of two colliding galaxy clusters, forming a single object known as MACS J0416.1-2403 (or MACS J0416 for short).
MACS J0416 is located about 4.3 billion light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Eridanus. This new image of the cluster combines data from three different telescopes: the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (showing the galaxies and stars), the NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory (diffuse emission in blue), and the NRAO Jansky Very Large Array (diffuse emission in pink). Each telescope shows a different element of the cluster, allowing astronomers to study MACS J0416 in detail.
As with all galaxy clusters, MACS J0416 contains a significant amount of dark matter, which leaves a detectable imprint in visible light by distorting the images of background galaxies. In this image, this dark matter appears to align well with the blue-hued hot gas, suggesting that the two clusters have not yet collided; if the clusters had already smashed into one another, the dark matter and gas would have separated. MACS J0416 also contains other features — such as a compact core of hot gas — that would likely have been disrupted had a collision already occurred.
Together with five other galaxy clusters, MACS J0416 is playing a leading role in the Hubble Frontier Fields programme, for which this data was obtained. Owing to its huge mass, the cluster is in fact bending the light of background objects, acting as a magnifying lens. Astronomers can use this phenomenon to find galaxies that existed only hundreds of million years after the big bang.

I love experimenting and trying to get the best picture straight out of the camera, recently I bought a kaleidoscope filter, hope you like it :) Captured with Canon New FD 50mm f1.8 + K&F Nano-B series Kaleidoscope.

Reflections from above combined with ripple-distorted leaf litter on the pond bottom creates a dizzying kaleidoscope abstraction at the water's edge.

This colourful wind vane was on display at this year's The Malvern Spring Gardening Show. Malvern is about innovation and fresh ideas, horticultural excellence, environmentally responsible sustainable design and practice, education and real gardening for all. It is also known for its beautiful location in a green and fertile countryside, dotted with hamlets and villages, orchards and historic landmarks, rich in wildlife and abundant in crops.

I just like making kaleidoscopes. Here is a link to the original: www.flickr.com/photos/78428166@N00/119136093/in/set-72057...
Looks good at "Large", but "Original" size is too big for my little monitor!
"Kaleidoscope" is derived from the Ancient Greek καλός (kalos), "beautiful, beauty", εἶδος (eidos), "that which is seen: form, shape" and σκοπέω (skopeō), "to look to, to examine", hence "observation of beautiful forms."

Computer Generated Kaleidoscope
I created an open ended, three sided cylinder with a highly reflective surface. By placing a camera at one end and a photograph at the other I rendered the model.

Kaleidoscopic layer of leaves on an unknown rural Wisconsin lake. There was a good breeze blowing out beyond the point and it shows up as a sudden blur across the lake surface. Wandering somewhere on one of the myriad backroads of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Iron County section.
Day X - 9:04 am
The clouds were passing by...
The shadows were dancing on the mountains...
The kaleidoscope was working...
Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope...a slight change, and all patterns alter.

Subject to change. Not quite satisfied with the results. Will give it another try, time permits.
This is a picture of a Lion fish taken at the Oregon Coast Aquarium turned into a Kaleidoscope. I really love how this came out with the balanced symmetry, colors, and textures.
