Observed in Canal Street, Newry, on the evening of Sunday 4th September 2022.
The Chinese takeaway restaurant "Kings" (no apostrophe on the sign), just off to the right, was surprisingly popular during my short visit to this street. Cars drew up every couple of minutes, disgorging their occupants so that they could place or collect orders from this and other nearby fast food establishments.

Comet 46P/Wirtanen observed simultaneously with the UT2 and UT3 telescopes at Paranal Observatory. The comet is the turquoise fuzzy blob to the top of the image. UT2 is the large dome at the foreground, and UT3 the one right behind it. The small dome in the background is the VST telescope.
When I took this shot the comet was being observed simultaneously with two high-resolution spectrographs: UVES, at UT2, and ESPRESSO, at UT3 (ESPRESSO can be fed with light from any of the four UT telescopes we have, or even all four at once). These spectrographs separate the light of the comet into its constituent wavelengths, allowing us to decipher its chemical composition.

Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew.
The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdeztwazi or "Spiral Rock Arches." Many years ago, herds of Pronghorn Antelope roamed freely in and around the canyon, which explains the English name.
Antelope Canyon was formed, over many thousands of years, by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, slowly carving and sculpting the sandstone into forms, textures, and shapes which we observe today.
The views in Lower Antelope Canyon change constantly as the sun moves across the sky, filtering lights softly across the stone walls. These ever-moving sun angles bounce light back and forth across the narrow canyon's walls, creating a dazzling display of color, light, and shadow.
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (advertised as "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or "spiral rock arches." Both are located within the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.

Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many countries, is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians, as well as culturally by many non-Christians, and forms an integral part of the holiday season organized around it.
The traditional Christmas narrative recounted in the New Testament, known as the Nativity of Jesus, says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in accordance with messianic prophecies. When Joseph and Mary arrived in the city, the inn had no room and so they were offered a stable where the Christ Child was soon born, with angels proclaiming this news to shepherds who then spread the word.
There are different hypotheses regarding the date of Jesus' birth and in the early fourth century, the church fixed the date as December 25. This corresponds to the traditional date of the winter solstice on the Roman calendar. It is exactly nine months after Annunciation on March 25, also the date of the spring equinox. Most Christians celebrate on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, which has been adopted almost universally in the civil calendars used in countries throughout the world. However, part of the Eastern Christian Churches celebrate Christmas on December 25 of the older Julian calendar, which currently corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar. For Christians, believing that God came into the world in the form of man to atone for the sins of humanity, rather than knowing Jesus' exact birth date, is considered to be the primary purpose in celebrating Christmas.
The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving; completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath; Christmas music and caroling; viewing a Nativity play; an exchange of Christmas cards; church services; a special meal; and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Christkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore.Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. Over the past few centuries, Christmas has had a steadily growing economic effect in many regions of the world.

Taken at Blue Mound State Park in Minnesota, USA. This owl followed me for a while on a late night hike. The amount of wildlife in this little pocket of nature was pretty amazing. Lots of raptors, bats, and coyotes that made it kind of hard to sleep at night.
"Solidão é lava que cobre tudo
Amargura em minha boca
Sorri seus dentes de chumbo
Solidão palavra cavada no coração
Resignado e mudo
No compasso da desilusão
Desilusão, desilusão
Danço eu dança você
Na dança da solidão"
