I had an exciting idea to capture the lunar eclipse over the majestic Teton Mountain range. I set off from home at 2:00 am, determined to arrive at the Snake River Overlook in Grand Teton National Park by 4:30 am, just in time for the eclipse’s totality. However, my calculations of the elevation were off, and the moon was too high in the sky to include the mountains in my shot. To make matters worse, the temperature plummeted to a chilly 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and I struggled with shaky hands and a lack of motivation to stay out of the car and capture a stable image. This experience taught me the importance of being well-prepared for the changing conditions of the sky and the unpredictable weather.
In processing this image I did learn that the small bright spot to the left (west) of the Sea of Tranquility is Dionysius crater. This small (11 mile) crater is particularly bright because of it's lighter colored impact ejecta and it is near the Apollo 11 landing site which is just to the southeast in the Sea of Tranquility.
It was one of the last days of the Republic when inside the Galaxies Opera House on Coruscant, during a conversation that would change the course of history, Palpatine defined the Dark Side as a “pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.”
Despite all the things that have been said about the Prequel Trilogy, that line is spot on because it perfectly shows the point of view of someone who uses the Dark Side for his own agenda.
Many years have been passed since that fateful day and many things are different now.
If we look at current followers of the Dark Side we realize the classic line needs to be updated.
As I observe Kylo with his immature rage outbursts and personality disorders I’m sure the updated version of the Palpatine’s line is:
“The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some…will never learn”
For if the Tantrum Knight is the best among the current Dark Side followers the word “ability” will never be part of their vocabulary.
Just look at him: crying for Vader, smashing things with his Lightsaber, that he wasn’t even able to properly build, at the first difficulty. How can he actually learn any those abilities?
Once there were the Sith. They were evil but they had charisma.
Now there are the Knights of Ren. They are evil and nothing more.
A little parody about Kylo :)
I hope you like it :)
May the Brick be with You :)
Admittedly not taken in Manitoba. This one is from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
This beautiful Green Heron was foraging around one of the small ponds on the resort property where we were staying.

Cochin (zu deutsch Kotschin, von Kotschinchina, frz. Cochinchine, vietnamesisch Nam Kỳ) ist eine alte Haushuhnrasse aus China, die in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts nach Europa gebracht wurde und wegen ihrer Befiederung und ihres Körperbaus, die sich beide stark von traditionellen europäischen Rassen unterschied, schnell auf Begeisterung stieß. Die britische Königin Victoria war in der westlichen Welt einer der ersten Halter von Cochins und hat wesentlich zum Bekanntwerden dieser Rasse beigetragen.

This is actually an old one. I made this image as a collaboration between me and the very talented and ever lovely mr. Moog. Unfortunately he had to back out because of his busy schedule, and I forgot about it. I finally dug it up again so here it is.

The story of this photo:
This shot was taken in Sidi Bou Said, a place near Tunis where many artists (also western artists) were staying to seek inspiration. This town was famous for inspiring artists. All buildings in this town are white with blue windows and doors. This gives the place a unique look. Today it is a major tourist attraction that is probably not missing on any guided tour through Tunis.
Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Taken handheld
> Camera: Nikon D90
> Lens: Sigma 10-20mm F3,5 EX DC HSM

- Thanks for viewing!
The shadowy figures from the rooftops have jumped down, catching Kentaurus off guard. Quickly spinning around he finds Captain Robert Knight and Commander Sydney Stargazer of Nova Team now holding him at blaster point!
The Captain wants the Solian Data Crystal from the bounty hunter and bring him in for questioning. However, Kentaurus will have nothing of that!
To learn more about Nova Team's other adventures visit their album Here.
:::: Ladies and gentleman, they're back! So I have a confession to make, this entire series with Jak Jenner and Kentaurus has secretly been the prologue leading up to (what I’m now calling) Season 3 of my Nova Team series. I hope to take this season through the rest of the summer months, taking the crew through new and exciting adventures. There’s been some changes to the team which I’ll reveal as time goes on. I hope you all will join me! I’m personally very excited. Thank you all!
For those who are interested, unfortunately I am unable to sell the Nova Team minifigures or designs due to the use of the "Classic Space" logo which is owned and trademarked by The LEGO Group. My custom designed figures and use of the official "Classic Space" logo is for personal use only in my MOCs and photography. By the same token, I will not give away the design files and source material either. Thank you for understanding! Trust me, if I could legally sell these, I would.
Last winter, we visited Grand Teton NP, for our usual images of wildlife in the snow ... and some winter landscapes as well. We hit various types of weather from blowing blizzard-like snow to gorgeous atypically warmer sunny days. This image was from one of those. See I came across some swans that were taking a leisurely swim in the river. Alongside them were the often overlooked mallards. After some time, my eyes kept returning to the mallards, which were becoming increasingly beautiful to me. This particular one captivated my lens. I just loved the way its head would glisten in the sunrise as it would bob in and out of the water as it foraged for food. Made me realize the power of observation in that as I watched, it became more predictable as to its actions and more intriguing to me. Such a beautiful bird.
Happy Weekend everyone. Hope that you have some fun things planned.

But actually, here, it is not justified.
I may add that one of the consensuses in the Israeli society is the bad relation to the Ultra-Orthodox Jew.
Some may say that they earned in by themselves,
but there are beautiful aspects in this community, we can appreciate, and learn from.
One of them is the mutual help for those in need.
Here, you see an example of it:
Towards Passover people clean their houses very, very thoroughly
("and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee, in all thy borders", Exodus, 13:9).
As the feast approached it becomes challenging to prepare food for the (many, many) children, alongside the other duties.
Therefore, one of the members of the community, from his own initiative, arranges lunch to tens of children, in the main square of the neighborhood.

This one reminds me of something my friend Krista would do. :) She's so good at light, pastel images.
The weather is BEYOND gorgeous here in NJ this week. I don't want it to get humid and hot again but it's coming!! It's been so nice to have the windows open.
