Space can be a cruel mistress, but she is a beautiful one.
As we await the launch of ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer and the return of Thomas Pesquet, let us marvel at the fact that humans live and work in space, an environment so inhospitable to us.
As Thomas nears the end of his six-month mission Alpha on the Space Station, he took this image, noting that living on the International Space Station “really feels like flying on a spaceship into the cosmos… or wait… that’s what we do.”
While astronauts are often pointing their cameras down to Earth, Thomas looked up for this image. “When you let your eyes adapt to the night, you start seeing millions of stars and it’s amazing…there’s also a lot of beauty in the cosmos itself, it’s just harder to see (and to photograph) at first.”
Thanks to collective human intelligence and cooperation, the International Space Station has been a reality for over 20 years, hosting astronauts who run experiments and monitor our planet from above. While launches are quite routine these days, delays happen but that’s the space business.
In that same spirit of partnership, humans are soon returning to the Moon on the Artemis missions, powered by the European Service Module, and preparing to build an outpost in lunar orbit. The Gateway will be a home far away from home and a stepping-stone to our next goal in space, humans on Mars.
Until then, make sure to look up and, like Thomas, savour the view. You’re almost home.

Seriously.
You know how it is the first time you are exposed to something truly impressive that is completely outside anything you've ever known or experienced -- you kinda sit back inside the privacy of your mind and sound high.
"Whoaaahhhh!" "NO. WAY!!!"
And ultimately: "what the ACTUAL F*** — is that for REAL?!?"
For an instant, you're truly questioning everything you thought you knew and wondering just HOW to make sense of this new idea. I might even get a little skeptical and think someone's trying to punk me...
But eventually it sinks in. Denial over.
Your worldview is now completely and utterly changed.
Deal with it. :-)
Join me in giving up 6 minutes of your life to watch this mind porn: inner life of your cells (Feel free to cover your ears and say, "la-la-la-la-la" to all the technical jargon)
The obligatory West Pier shots begin once the waves start to pick up ;-)) How much more of it we will lose this coming winter remains to be seen!
Jasper, like many dogs, employs mind control to get us to play. You really can't resist that penetrating stare. See the next photo for proof that it works

Went on a Northern Lights safari last night. 50 min coach ride south of Tromsø. Best aurora we have seen in 5 years going on such trips. We were a bit worried about there being 3 coach loads of people but we needn't have been worried. Plenty of space at the "base station" to spread out.
Often end up walking to this local park and it would be before sunrise and of course quite dark. So to see this big "pot hole" as it were along the side of the lake could be disaster and end up with camera kit and myself under water..... O.K. not very deep but enough to wreck the camera kit for sure. But this might be a little area to allow animals and wildfowl to get in and out of the lake with ease.?
The wooden boards that were installed a few years ago are now rotten and missing like this section.
m.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjBx6JFy88 . . . This guy is killing me !!! One I went through everything and my family is not Italian !!! Two even “va a fanculo” in Italian sounds beautiful!! I will never use word “f..k” again. I hit the wall when get really mad ! Ask me again why I like Italian temper & temperament!! 😹 . . . It’s not that bad actually!!! My grandparents used to crush everything in the kitchen 😹😹 But on a serious note I absolutely love love love how open & expressive that culture is.
The green and shy eyes of this ucranian girl match perfectly with the colorful leafs of the forest she's in. The scene was captured in León (Spain) with my Nikon D7100 and the incredibly sharp Nikkor 35mm f/1.8.
The prominent El Capitan in Yosemite National Park rising out from trees in their fall colours as it reaches up to blue sky,not the image I had in my mind as I was going to try another location but the crowds on the weekend meant the other location definitely wouldn`t have worked,so i was quite pleased with how this turned out.
