Finally getting around to uploading a few from C2E2, at Chicago's McCormick Place.

I was invited to photograph the Chinese New Year Celebration at Willow Creek Community Church, including Vovinam Chicago, traditional dance performance and martial arts demonstration.

La steppe et les prairies couvrent 52% des terres mongoles. Outre les graminÈes omniprÈsentes, l'absinthe sauvage est trËs rÈpandue. Elles sont recouvertes au printemps, et dans une moindre mesure en ÈtÈ de fleurs innombrables : edelweiss, gentianes, gÈraniums, oeillets, delphiniums, pois, ancolies, rhododendrons, asters et bien d'autres transforment la Mongolie en jardin infini.

 

L'environnement de la Mongolie est encore globalement dans un bon Ètat de prÈservation ; essentiellement du fait du faible peuplement, du mode de vie nomade traditionnel mÈnageant ses ressources pour survivre, et d'une spiritualitÈ trËs respectueuse des forces et de l'harmonie de la Nature.

 

Le Cheptel constitue la partie la plus visible de l'abondante vie animale, et se compose de cinq espËces (les mongols disent les cinq museaux) complÈmentaires traditionnellement ÈlevÈs par les Mongols

Messier object 13 in Hercules.

Total of 51, 30 second frames taken with my unguided 10" newt and Canon450D at prime focus.

Messier 13 is globular cluster conformed by several hundred of thousands of stars. Also known as NGC 6205 or Great Hercules Cluster, it is located in constellation of the same name at around 25.000 years light away from Earth. It is about 145 light-years in diameter, with an estimation of 300-000 - 1 million stars conforming it.

 

A globular cluster is a conglomeration of stars that are bounded together through gravity. It results in a spherical global shape, being the center of the cluster the area with more stars concentration. It is supposed that the stars of a globular clusters were born around the same period of time, probably in a very early time of our Milky Way, around the massive halo surrounded the young galaxy. So, the stars of a globular cluster are supposed to be very old (10.000-13.000 million years), becoming great objects to get potential clues about the very early times of our galaxy.
