From Wikipedia:
Gaztelugatxe is an islet on the coast of Biscay belonging to the municipality of Bermeo, Basque Country (Spain). It is connected to the mainland by a man-made bridge. On top of the island stands a hermitage (named Gaztelugatxeko Doniene in Basque; San Juan de Gaztelugatxe in Spanish), dedicated to John the Baptist, that dates from the 10th century, although discoveries indicate that the date might be the 9th century.
The hermitage is accessed by a narrow path, crossing the solid stone bridge, and going up 231 steps. According to legend, after the slightly strenuous climb to the top of the crag one should ring the bell three times and make a wish.

It was wet and windy as Former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway class 27 ('A' Class) locomotive 52322 was seen in the Stoneacre Loop on the Yorkshire Dales Railway with a permanent way train.
Unfortunately my car was in for servicing, so my movements were restricted when it came to seeing GB IX today. So it was a train to Donny and later back to Wakefield and go to Kirkgate for the returning ‘Jube’.
Stanier 'Jubilee' 4-6-0 no.45690 'Leander' brings the final days running of “Great Britain IX”, Carnforth-Doncaster, into Doncaster Station’s goods loop. ‘Leander' came off here and 2 Class 47’s top and tailed the last section of the journey to Kings Cross.

Today my last full day in the states has begun, and the time really flew by. I saw a lot of interesting things, met many many amazing people and enjoyed every place that I stayed at.
And today is a pretty nice "final". I will be doing a joint streetphotography shoot with Satoki. I am so looking forward to this, lets see whether my results will also make a great final =)

i really enjoy your feedback and comments!
thanks.
From the Queen's Garden Trail we continued on the Navajo Loop Trail first through Wall Street (very busy) to Sunset Lookout, then back down the other side of the loop to a similar but smaller version of Wall Street to Two Bridges and back to Sunrise Point via the Queen's Garden Trail again. It was a good half day hike. Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

The Cygnus Loop (or the Veil Nebula) is the best-observed old supernova remnant. A beautiful filamentary object roughly in the form of a circular arc in Cygnus. Its patchiness is striking: the loop consists of a series of wisps rather than a continuous cloud of gas. The Cygnus Loop appears as a faint ring of glowing gases about three degrees across (six times the diameter of the full moon), located in the northern constellation Cygnus the Swan. The supernova remnant is within the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy and is 2,600 light-years away. As the supernova blast wave slams into tenuous clouds of interstellar gas, the resulting collision heats and compresses the gas, causing it to glow. The shock acts as a searchlight by revealing the structure of the interstellar medium.
The visual portion of the Cygnus Loop is known as the Veil Nebula, also called the Cirrus Nebula or the Filamentary Nebula. Several components have separate names and identifiers, including NGC 6960, the Western Veil, is the western part of the remnant, also known as the "Witch's Broom”. NGC 6992, NGC 6995, and IC 1340, three luminous areas make up the Eastern Veil, also known as the “Bat Nebula”. NGC 6974 and NGC 6979. These two objects are the two brighter knots of nebulosity in a cloud at the northern edge of the loop, and Pickering's Triangle, Also known as Pickering's Wedge, or Pickering's Triangular Wisp.
This my return visit after capturing NGC6992 when I started Astrophotography August 2020. Taken over 2 nights with not particularly good seeing or transparency, I managed to secure 6 hours of Ha and Oiii 5minute subs to process this HOO image. Gain 100 -5C.

Cool temperatures made for a pleasant 9.5 mile hike on the Blue Loop found in the Nordic Trails section of the Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Late fall brings color to the oak trees while many of the other species have folded it up for winter.
Sunspot Loops in Ultraviolet

Explanation: It was a quiet day on the Sun. The above image shows, however, that even during off days the Sun's surface is a busy place. Shown in ultraviolet light, the relatively cool dark regions have temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius. Large sunspot group AR 9169 is visible as the bright area near the horizon. The bright glowing gas flowing around the sunspots has a temperature of over one million degrees Celsius. The reason for the high temperatures is unknown but thought to be related to the rapidly changing magnetic field loops that channel solar plasma. Sunspot group AR 9169 moved across the Sun during 2000 September and decayed in a few weeks.

The Citrus Loop, located in the Citrus County Tract of the Withlacoochee state forest is one of the most widely used portions of the Florida National Scenic Trail. It traverses a varied landscape and passes through a myriad of habitat over 43 miles of trails. The loop is one of the rare places containing dry caves in Florida. A highlight of the loop is considered to be Lizzie Hart Sink, where the sandy scrub habitat gives way to rocky, tropical foliage. These pictures were taken in a dry moment on a rainy day while hiking with the Florida Trail Association at their 50th Anniversary Celebration.
This one is a pretty good one I guess... I used the 100mm macro lens for this as it is a faster lens than the kit lens I have. I am limited in space though, so I have to stand in the corner to shoot. I am learning; it's a little overexposed on her forehead, but I have found that the pictures look hot in the preview on the camera but when I put the RAW file into Affinity Photo, I can compensate for it mostly, so in the future, I will experiment with f2.8 perhaps or something. I had one light plus a bounce light for this one. I developed in Affinity Photo.
