Colorado Springs, CO - This week's Flickr Friday theme is “real” so had an idea, I went to iFLY which is an indoor skydiving facility here in the city, and wanted to capture people flying for real.

 

There was a little girl who was in the tank for the first time and I took some pictures. The guy on the left of the image with fists in the air of triumph was her father. One could feel the power of love in this real moment of triumph.

..flying into one of many weekends of 2016, wishing you all a most excellent happy year :))

The picture on my photostream with the most views is of this little birch tree, taken last June. Despite not adhering to photography rules, it appeared on Explore Front Page and gained over 5,000 views in a very short time. I'm not sure whether this latest capture from last weekend shows an improvement in my skills but at least it shows the changing seasons in Skye.

Newborns are tiny, adorable, voracious monsters you can't help but love. I would have liked nothing more than to not be here typing and posting this because I was off camping, but that would have meant totally ignoring how tired my wife is and how much help she needs with a crying newborn who won't sleep. *sigh*

…I assume this is a forerunner of sailing and a good place to start and learn how to harness the wind. Missing the sea already - I want to go back, this was taken at Coverack on the Lizard in Cornwall. Have a great week folks, Alan:-)…..

My niece came from France to learn some English. She also found interest in music...

Visto il caldo, stamattina sono rimasto a riordinare alcune fotografie nel mio archivio e mi sono imbattuto in una sequenza della cometa Neowise, transitata nei nostri cieli esattamente 6 anni fa.

In questo intervallo di tempo la mia conoscenza del software di elaborazione per astronomia ha fatto numerosi progressi: Siril, Graxpert, Sequator e anche altri. L'utilizzo di questi programmi mi ha permesso di ri-elaborare immagini di archivio evidenziando molti più dettagli di quanto ero riuscito a fare con tradizionali programmi. Le informazioni erano sempre state lì, nel file raw, ma avevano solo bisogno di una tecnica nuova per essere riportate alla luce, così come un più naturale bilanciamento dei colori.

 

Questa foto ritrae appunto la cometa Neowise con le due code, ioni in blu e polveri in bianco-giallo, mentre punta la direzione del Sole, poco prima dell'alba, sul monte Grappa. Penso sia una delle più belle che io abbia realizzato su questo spettacolare visitatore del cosmo.

 

Buona giornata

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)

They were swimming in a pond lined with yellow tiles.

that not-at-all-good feeling when you discover an error that requires taking the needles out and unraveling half of your work so far. but such is learning…

Morebus E400 MMC 1628 (HF66CEN) approaches the seafront in Swanage on Route 50 to Studland.

 

Owing to the closure of the Sandbanks chain-link ferry, Route 50 has been amended to run from Bournemouth to Swanage via Poole, with every other journey continuing beyond to Studland. The routing via Poole however is longer and therefore requires a greater number of vehicles to run the service, seeing the use of other buses in the Morebus fleet being drafted in to help run the service.

One more from April. One of the eaglets watching and learning how to fly with confidence.

 

Thanks all for your wonderful comments sent my way from yesterday's post and words. After writing about the eagles in the morning, sharing it on Flickr, we headed out to the eagle's nest. To my surprise and delight, for the first time this year, the Mom and Dad Eagle (Lucy and Ricky) were feeding a newly hatched eaglet or two.

 

Happy Happy New Year.

Come ariete immaginario

apro un varco nelle mura.

Abbandono la città;

me ne vado alla ventura.

Cerco isole deserte

dove covano i gabbiani,

là per ore starò inerte

senza l'ansia del domani......
