The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which stand at the front of the ruined Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the largest temple in the Theban Necropolis. The man (an archeologist) standing on the stone statue gives you a perspective of the size, about 60 feet (18 meters) in height.

My second pass at this object. Captured a few more hours of data to add to the first set. I used very short exposures with the rgb camera to avoid the bright star nearby (Gamma Cassiopeiae) from over saturating the surrounding area.
"Cassiopeia's Ghost Nebula is a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is often referred to as "Cassiopeia’s Ghost" due to its wispy, ghostly appearance. Here is an overview of its key characteristics:
Location and Distance: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula lies approximately 550 light-years away from Earth. It is located near the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae, a variable star that plays a critical role in illuminating the nebula.
Appearance and Structure: The nebula appears as a faint, ghostly cloud, with delicate, wispy features that resemble spectral forms. It has a combination of emission and reflection characteristics:
Emission Features: The red hue of the nebula comes from the ionization of hydrogen gas caused by the ultraviolet radiation from Gamma Cassiopeiae.
Reflection Features: The blue tones in the nebula are the result of starlight from Gamma Cassiopeiae being reflected off the surrounding dust particles.
Illuminating Star: Gamma Cassiopeiae, a massive and highly energetic Be-type star, is the primary source of radiation that influences the nebula. The intense radiation from this star causes the hydrogen gas in the nebula to glow and the dust to scatter the light.
Visibility and Observing: Cassiopeia’s Ghost Nebula is relatively faint and best observed through long-exposure astrophotography. It can be challenging to see with small telescopes but becomes more apparent with the use of filters and under dark sky conditions.
Scientific Interest: The nebula is of significant interest to astronomers studying the effects of stellar radiation on interstellar matter. It serves as an example of how nearby massive stars can shape and alter the appearance of nebulae."

A massive Hoodoo rises from the valley floor below me in this canyon found in the Desert Southwest at sunset. My friend Colleen Miniuk taught me about pareidolia, which is the tendency of perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern or object (often in nature). Ever since learning about this concept, I can't help myself but to see things in nature that resemble other things not in nature. The geology of this place is astoundingly fascinating. I could spend a lifetime exploring and trying to understand it.

A massive dust storm rolled through Phoenix, AZ around 8:00 PM, I captured this panorama from the rooftop of my building. 10 Photographs from my Fujifilm FinePix X100 were stitched together to make a 39 megapixel panorama.
To give the scale to this wall of dust, the mountain at the left edge of the photograph is Piestewa Peak at 1,176 ft (358 m), and the 3rd highest point in Phoenix, Arizona. This photograph was taken from the rooftop of a 17 story building.

Another day of digging out after the massive dumping of snow we received earlier in the week. I think it's supposed to snow again tomorrow so the whole process must feel a little futile to those who operate snow removal businesses at this point, but hey, it means job security.
Otherwise, an insane day at the office that ended up following me home, but I've finally wrapped everything up and I can officially start the (3 day) weekend knowing I managed to meet all my deadlines for the week!
Oh, and don't feel too bad for this little guy. I threw some peanuts in the area of the backyard that I shoveled out, so he's been well fed today!
Hope everyone has had a good day!

Practically every birthday and Christmas, I either get a game from my son or buy one for myself. I love games, not so much to become engrossed in the game itself, but to see and learn all the imagination and creativity that goes into such an effort. My son gave me access to this game for my recent birthday and I am once again in awe of all the talent involved to create it. It was done through Kickstarter and is called "Massive Chalice"... this is a screenshot from the game intro.

This massive iceberg in Disko Bay originated on the Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier just south of Ilulissat, Greenland. The same glacier produced the iceberg which sank the Titanic.
This big buck was a long ways off as the sun was coming up.I had to take some photos of him regardless of how far away he was.

Wait...
We did not wait long.
Straight out of Shaktinsk station, turn right towards the mines.
Stop.
There is a ventilation shaft, beautiful in its way set against the soft grey light.
White building topped by winding gear topped by a red star.
I venture forward and take two pictures.

Big Man gets out.
Questions.
Our answers do not satisfy.
Ochrona is called.
Now we wait....
How long?
We did not count.
The pickup screeches to a halt, three men leap out. One boss two lads. All shouting.
Documents, passports, where are you from?
Aparat, camera, he has it.
Gesturing at me.
I had put it in the boot.
I show them, they say delete.
Big Man leaves satisfied.
Now Ochrona gets chatty.
One chews tiny green balls from a small brown bottle.
I ask what, he says bad, with a grin.
All calmed down but..
We must leave this area.
Oh for that deep mining backdrop.
But down there, below.
There are people who no longer have to wait.

I love those spur of the moment sunset shoots. I had no intentions of shooting the sunset tonight until about 15 minutes before it set and I had a feeling it would be a good one, by looking at the clouds. I raced over to the reservoir and hurled this massive rock into the water just in time.
I got to spend the weekend with the amazing Rob and Marley and I'll be posting a photo from that soon. I've got a lot of wedding editing to do as well, so I might not be posting much for a tiny bit.
I haven't had time to work on a print giveaway details yet, but I'm thinking I'll get something together soon for when I hit 2500 over on Facebook :)

When your will is gone, your dreams will erase
When your hanging on by your fingernails...
Bring out your finest wines your holy shrines and let them go
Freed from the chains of what has reminded of a life that you don't want to know
The brass and the drums will hammer it home with their marching band of the proud
Celebrate ages, all life stages, seas and the winds and the clouds
The message's been written from your prison, see what tomorrow will be
see what tomorrow will be (Massive Illusion, Night, Gazpacho)

Die Schneekatastrophe in Norddeutschland zur Jahreswende 1978/1979 hatte ein katastrophales Ausmaß. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland waren vor allem Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg sowie das nördliche Niedersachsen betroffen. Nach massiven Schneefällen, die dort wegen des Sturmstärke erreichenden Windes vielerorts zu meterhohen Schneeverwehungen führten, setzte am Neujahrstag starker Frost ein. Der Winter 1978/1979 gehört zu den zehn härtesten Wintern der Nachkriegszeit in Norddeutschland. Mit 67 Tagen geschlossener Schneedecke (28. Dezember 1978 – 4. März 1979) stellte die Saison einen Rekord auf.
Auch im südlichen Niedersachsen lag am 2. Januar eine hohe Schneedecke, die sich hinter der 110 368-8 mit dem D 587 Bremerhaven-Lehe - München Hbf zum Teil in eine dichte Schneewolke verwandelte.

It's difficult to show how large some of these boulders, large rocks , structures or whatever we should call them are in size. I took this one from a long ways off and if you look carefully you can see all the people standing under the arch and on the ridge to the left. They walked in a long way through a marked trail to get to this destination.
We made in our visit in late afternoon and didn't have time for the hikes....It was a mistake not returning the next day.
This may look like any other image of the Milky Way and it really is just that. The difference with this image is that it's made of 233 total images.
Last night while we were at Dead Horse Point and the sky was about as black as you can get, I had the opportunity to do something I have been wanting to do for a very long time.
This is a multi shot panorama/stitch that uses 23 various camera positions, 10 images in each position. Each of the 10 images were stacked for noise reduction and then each of the 23 stacked images were used to make the panorama/squareorama.
The detail in this image is extreme. With all my overlap, crop and adjust, this image will easily print 260x360 inches at optimum resolution.
I used a Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art lens with the following settings for each of the 233 images.
ISO 6400
F/2.2
8 second exposures.
We are on our last night of our workshops and I have a feeling we will go out with a bang. I have a little surprise for the group tonight.

The Sand Island Lighthouse (also known as the Sand Island Light) is located approximately three miles south from Mobile Point. Originally located on a low lying island of 400 acres, the light stands surrounded by water and massive stones placed to halt the erosion of the island. The tower, which is influenced by the Italianate style, is a 132 foot conical masonry structure which tapers from a width of 40 feet at the base to 17 or 18 feet at the top. It rests on a foundation consisting of double course of sill timbers resting on one hundred seventy-one piles overlaid with 12 feet of concrete. Constructed in 1875, Sand Island Lighthouse is the older of the two remaining lighthouses in the state and is the third to have been erected on this location. A light at Sand Island has marked the entrance to Mobile Bay & the Mobile Ship Channel since 1838. This was the second navigational aid erected for the entrance to the port of Mobile, a light having been established at Mobile Point in 1822. The Frensel lens which has been removed was constructed by Barier and Fenestri in Paris in 1871. Since the construction of the tower several different systems were used for lighting. Originally lard oil lamps were used but were replaced in 1833 by mineral oil lamps. In 1912 an incandescent oilvapor lamp of 17,000 candlepower visible 18 miles at sea was installed and later replaced in 1947 by four nine inch 1000 watt bulbs when the light was automated in 1947. In 1966, the 60,000 candle power beam was dimmed to 8,000 when the new Mobile Point Light took over. The light was finally extinguished and the structure abandoned in 1971. The lens was removed at this time and moved to the nearby Fort Morgan Museum. In 1973, the keepers house was burned. The island were the Sand Island Lighthouse was built, originally 400 acres, had been eroding since the construction and by 1873 was reduced to less than 100 acres. The erosion continued at a rapid pace until between 1873 & 1902 the keepers dwelling was twice removed to more stable ground and several thousand tons of rock were placed around the island & tower. More recently, restoration efforts resulted primarily in stabilization of the island through 2008 and in December 2011 construction of a new island was completed with 1,400,000 yards of sand being dredged from the sea floor and deposited around the lighthouse creating a 2,600 feet by 500 feet, or approximately 15 acres island. Less than a year later the $6,000,000 restoration of the island was washed away by Hurricane Isaac.

An open cluster of massive hot blue super-giant stars can be found near the center of IC 1805 - more commonly referred to as the Heart Nebula. Shown in the upper right quadrant of this image the fierce stellar winds from these young stars have blown an enormous bubble within the parent HII nebula. These winds have also sculpted the dust clouds within which other stars are forming.
This image uses the (modified) hubble palette (SII/Ha/OIII) and has RGB stars.

You are at the edge of one of the most ecologically important places in Banff National Park.
Wetlands are scarce in the mountains. Water seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere else.
Glaciers deposited massive amounts of gravel, sand, and silt in this broad valley and its tributaries. In the 15,000 years since the glaciers retreated, annual flooding by the Bow River and its tributaries has carried much of the loose material into the relatively flat valley floor. Here, the river slows and as a result, its ability to carry sediments dwindles. Over time, the valley has filled with stream-borne sediments. Today, the Bow River meanders across a wide, well-watered floodplain atop those deposits.
These low elevation wetlands offer a longer growing season for plants and animals than valleys higher in elevation. Rich silt soils are more productive than the rockier soils on higher slopes.
Biological diversity and productivity, make these montane wetlands unique in the Rockies. Here you can see the boreal toads, Wilson's Warblers, beavers muskrats, and a variety of rare species.
Wildlife that travel widely depend on these wetlands for survival from the elk herds that winter here to the grizzly bears that sometimes fish for spawning while suckers in the Spring, to the migratory birds that arrive for the summer.
