these are from the old diana mini roll I just developed. dunno when they were taken.
Light and shadows on buttress roots deep in the lowland forest, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. A ray of light pentrating the forest canopy cast shadows from the surrounding vegetation on the large buttress roots of a Kaway tree. Sepia tone conversion, to emphasize the shapes.

Divine light, from heavens cast,
Shines upon a passerby at last.
A gentle glow, a moment bright,
Transforms her path with purest light.
The Europa Point Lighthouse, also referred to as the Trinity Lighthouse at Europa Point and the Victoria Tower or La Farola in Llanito, is a lighthouse at Europa Point, on the southeastern tip of the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.
It is not easy to catch the very few moments of light this Winter, here I had luck during a hiking tour at the „Großer Weserbogen“ near Bad Oeynhausen, Ostwestfalen, Germany
This revolving Image that changes its form is projected onto a Blacked out Shop Window .It is part of " The Awakening " Event in Hulls Old Town where magical light and sound installations are on view .."The Awakening" is to Celebrate the movement from Winter to Spring and Hulls Maritime Heritage and Folklore and Mythology ..

We have seen the light at the end, only to find ourselves blanketed in darkness again; But let us never waver in our quest, for who knows what lies beyond today. It might be the light of day.
I found this one lane road over a small dam on a lake. The fog was very thick. The Sun had already rose, but the fog diffused the light.

The Chandra image shows Mira A (right), a highly evolved red giant star, and Mira B (left), a white dwarf. To the right of the image is an artist's conception of the Mira star system. Mira A is losing gas rapidly from its upper atmosphere via a stellar wind. Mira B exerts a gravitational tug that creates a gaseous bridge between the two stars. Gas from the wind and bridge accumulates in an accretion disk around Mira B and collisions between rapidly moving particles in the disk produce X-rays.
The separation of the X-rays from the giant star and the white dwarf was made possible by the superb angular resolution of Chandra, and the relative proximity of the star system, at about 420 light years from Earth. The stars in Mira AB are about twice as far apart as Pluto is from the Sun.
The ability to distinguish between the interacting stars allowed a team of scientists to observe an X-ray outburst from Mira A. An ultraviolet image made by the Hubble Space Telescope was key to identifying the X-ray outburst with the red giant star.
Mira A (or simply, Mira) was named "The Wonderful" star in the seventeenth century because its brightness was observed to wax and wane over a period of about 330 days. In this advanced red giant phase of Mira A's life, its diameter has swollen to about 600 times that of the Sun and it is pulsating, due to increasingly energetic nuclear reactions in its core.
Mira A is now approaching the stage where its nuclear fuel supply will be exhausted, and it will collapse to become a white dwarf. In contrast, Mira B has already reached the white dwarf stage, and is about the size of the Earth, but about a quarter million times more massive.
Before this observation it was assumed that all the X-rays came from a hot disk surrounding Mira B, so the detection of an X-ray flare from the red giant star came as a surprise. This outburst was likely an indirect consequence of the internal turmoil in Mira A.
X-ray studies of the Mira star system may also provide better understanding of interactions between other binary star systems

This turned out better than I expected - I wanted to get all the rocks below the horizon but just couldn't get the sea close enough if I did. You can't have everything!

I'm heading back up to Alaska this afternoon to prep for our upcoming Polar Bears & Northern Lights Tour. Here's to hoping we'll get good light and snow like this! If you want to join us in 2016, I just added 2 new polar bear trips. Check them out at www.ActionPhotoTours.com
A little late on this but today (December 11th) was a milestone marker for sun watchers at least here in northeast Oklahoma, December 11 ended the 10 days of shortest evenings this season. November 30th thru December 10th the sunsets at the earliest point 5:09pm then on December 11th the sun sets at 5:10pm. Yes the shortest day of the year still happens on December 21st, which has a sunset at 5:14pm. Then by the end of December the sunset has grown to 5:19 so a ten minute difference from 1st of December to the end of December. Not sure how it all adds up in your location but here at Latitude 36.0609° N, and Longitude 95.7975° W, the light is happening in the PM.
