Très chic les couleurs, non ?

Re-edited for 2022

Eles são meus divos, acho que todos sabem , e estou louca pelo clip *---*

tanto que fui logo catar as fotos promos deles e fiz isso ._.

Sinceramente, eu ameei *---*

On April 30 I had a lovely chat with friendly visitors from space and I even could sneek a peek into their cockpit and take an image of it ! You see the captain of the crew.

Unfortunaltely this space ship was too small for me to hop in myself ... but it was a fun encounter nonetheless !

Crazy Tuesday - theme of May 3rd, 2022: Made of Plastic

This is actually the plastic head of a reusable metal cocktail stick for finger food; taken in front of the keyboard of my tablet with internal lighting switched on; additional lighting with a coloured LED-light

[ taken with the manual Laowa 60mm 2x magnification lens @ about f/4; the "head"' is about 2.5 cm high ]

I will catch up in the evening ! :)

Am 30. April hatte ich ein nettes Gespräch mit freundlichen Besuchern aus dem All und konnte sogar einen Blick in ihr Cockpit werfen und Aufnahmen davon machen ! Ihr seht den Kapitän der Crew.

Leider war das Raumschiff zu klein für mich, um einzusteigen ... dennoch: eine lustige Begegnung !

Crazy Tuesday - Thema: aus Plastik gemacht / Plastik

Das ist tatsächlich ein Cocktail-Spieß / Partyspießchen für Fingerfood (wiederverwendbar mit Metallspieß und witzigen Plastikfigürchen als Kopf; es sind insgesamt 8 verschiedene in der Packung), die Tastatur meines Tablets mit eingeschalteter Beleuchtung im Hintergrund und zusätzliche Beleuchtung durch farbiges (rotes) LED-Licht

I have high hopes that one day a Mars rover will uncover something like this set of fossilised terrestrial ammonites!

I created a few centimetres of Mars in our dining room with a block of fossils, LED lights and ground coffee. I now have a piece of ancient rock that smells of Starbucks.

Went back to the poppy field tonight to try and catch the evening light. Arrived a little late and was as ever, unprepared (must buy a graduated filter) so had a narrow window of opportunity. Tell me when you are bored of poppies.

Realising yesterday that Mars Mission is fifteen years old meant I suddenly had to build another Claw Tank tribute. This one is moving away from the original set and into a more GI Joe design, big and chonk, equal parts aggressive and goofy. I had the large orange treaded WIP lying around for ages (a failed Hibernia digger) so most of that got remixed into this monstrosity.

Mars is a colorized Garden Globe.

Mars Bar is real!

Theme: Mars

The GREEN MARS project is in full swing. Already in September 2083 the first four shuttles with twenty technicians and scientists plus tons of building materials and technical equipment landed on Mars.

Within a few weeks, three residential units for 40 people each, a laboratory and a huge greenhouse were erected.

Nevertheless, there are always significant delays because our mission is constantly confronted with unpredictable situations and problems on the red planet.

Just one example: Of all things my living unit couldn’t be connected to the colonies power grid so far.

However, after five months without electricety the technicians provisionally pulled a cable from the generator in shuttle no. 3 across the greenhouse in which some plants are already - contrary to expectations - developing very well.

My current roommate, Prof. Elena Gagarina (a great-great-granddaughter of the cosmonaut Yuri Alexievich Gagarin), is very pleased, because she now can finally blow-dry her hair. I've tried to persuade Elena to take before and aft pics of her hairdo, but unfortunately she refused.

Just a fun and quick remix of the Klau tank.

Mars is above the mountain and Jupiter is in the top right corner. note a couple of scenic benches located across the pond

I think I caught Mars last night but the fabled green comet, supposedly just to the right of Mars, was more elusive.

The news here is all about a cyclone but it is mainly going to hit the North Island and down here in the south we are probably not going to see that either.

Imagine this. Year 2056. Humans have long since established themselves on Mars and terraforming is starting to show resault. You are one of the crew members who has just arrived. At first sign of daylight, you climb up to the observation post in the bunker in which you live and this is what you see.

Or this; in 1840 they found nickel in this area. 10-15 man worked in a small mine nearby. The ore, that you see here, were stored and transported by horse to the sea during wintertime. It was then shipped to Great Britan and used in the productions of coins. The mine company was shut down after about 60 years of operation.

2550 AD. Mars is finally a colonized planet, scientists have managed to create an atmosphere where we humans can breathe normally and so explore new horizons as we can see it in this picture taken by an AI automated surveillance device, where a couple of young explorers enjoy a pleasurable ballad along the coastline.

Oh man, look at those cavemen go

It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?

Second Valley

Life on Mars? NASA says planet appears to have flowing water...

What will come out of this planet do not know, call it Earth's twin, I dare not think what has happened to....

I know it's enough worry about Our Planet, but the universe is too fascinating to me ....

this was my first upload on flickr two years ago... an analog shot and scan from photoprint.

Bitterly cold here but thankfully seeing conditions were conducive to me imaging Mars on opposition day. Poor weather in the early hours meant I was unable to image Mars being occluded by the moon.

Some nice detail is visible including the bright area left-most in the image which is the shield volcano Olympus Mons the largest volcano in the solar system. It rises over 72,000ft or 21.9km! The complex is roughly the size of Poland! It

The curve of the Solis Lacus the so-called "Eye of Mars" (hopefully for obvious reasons!) is visible towards the lower right.

Bluish ice clouds are visible to the lower left limb and on the right limb of the image. The North Polar Hood cloud (top) is still present but is showing signs of degradation.

Imaged with a Celestron C11 and an Explore Scientific Focal Extender. I used separate Baader RGB filters and a ZWO 290MM camera. The filtered images were combined and derotated using Winjupos.

Thanks for looking!!

Mars rising over the Dragoons

Spent a couple hours chasing the Mars around Sproat Lake as he did some training. Pretty awesome to see this thing in action!

Look at Mars Ocean and try to meditate
