Mouthwell Beach, Outer Hope, South Devon UK.
The South Devon coast with Burgh Island in the distance.
The brightness of the total eclipse varies over 5 orders of magnitude, from bright, hot pink solar prominences to the outer corona. This is a 1-second exposure designed for the latter, but you can still see the former at the bottom edge.
We reserved a room in Plattsburgh, NY about a year ago (Vermont was already fully booked, but Plattsburgh had plenty of rooms and no bump in prices yet). The morning of the eclipse dawned clear, but clouds were predicted to gather by afternoon, so we chased blue skies about 3 hours northeast to the southern outskirts of Sherbrooke, QC and had perfect weather. (Fortunately, I had insisted to my husband that we bring passports.) The Canadian customs website said there was a 40-minute wait at the entry station on the freeway, so we nipped over to the side road a few miles east and had the port of entry all to ourselves.
The total eclipse was ā¦ hard to describe, but all itās cracked up to be ā a striking spectacle. The inner corona was much brighter than I expected, blazing to the naked eye in sharp contrast to the suddenly black sun within.

And then when I went to Chicago, that's when I had these outer space experiences and went to the other planets.
Y entonces cuando fui a Chicago fue cuando tube estas experiencias espaciales y visite los otros planetas.

This is a composite of three exposures containing lightning strikes merged together as layers using the Lighten Blend Mode in Paint Shop Pro X4. The three exposures were at f/10 using my Canon 17-40mm f/4L and each exposure being 1 second long. I used a Singh-Ray VND filter and hand held a 2 stop Singh Ray GND Filter. Using my wired remote shutter control I locked it so that it kept taking shots taking note of the exposures that captured lightning strikes as they were quite frequent. The morning I took this, I ventured out at 5:30am from the Ramada at Nags Head down to a fishing pier hoping to capture some good sunrise photos but instead was treated to a thunderstorm up north heading out to sea. A beach chair left out on the sand next to the pier behind me made a great foreground for this shot.

Shields Road station on the Glasgow Subway is located on the South Side of the River Clyde and hosts the largest Park and Ride facility on the Glasgow Subway system with around 800 parking spaces. The station typically floats around 500,000 entries/exits per year, though you wouldn't think so given the platform isn't too much wider than the door at the end of the platform.
Despite the name, the entrances to the station and car park are actually on Scotland Street and I believe there have been proposals to rename the station. It's at the top of Shields Road though, so there is some degree of sense in the name.
Car 119 is pictured leading Train 5 on the outer Circle into Shields Road. This train runs clockwise around the 10.5km circle.
We've been catching up on The Mandalorian this festive season - there are some fun bits and Mando himself is a charming presence, but overall it's just felt uninterestingly competent. Probably just doesn't hit the bits of Star Wars I really like. Still, it's gotten me back in the mood for some far, far away MOCs, so here's a bandit fighter I whipped together.

View across the dry landscape of the outer Pelorus Sound at the end of an El NiƱo summer, Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand.
This was taken our last night in Corolla, NC on the northern outer banks. Normally at this point in time, the sound is full of water, but a heavy southern wind kind of blew all the water back out in to the ocean. All in all, I think it added a little more to the picture.

Although Padstow has become a very popular tourist resort in North Cornwall, helped no doubt by being featured regularly in TV programmes featuring the chef Rick Stein, its outer harbour is still very much a working harbour. The inner harbour with its surrounding shops, restaurants and pubs provides the main focus for visitors. It is increasingly being used as a marina for yachts. The pretty little town is on the western side of the Camel Estuary, a mile of so from the sea.
Gleich rechts im Hintergrund Ć¼ber der FontƤne sieht man den Turm der Kathedrale, dann in der Mitte die Spitze des Hausmannsturms des Residenzschlosses, und rechts dann den Zwinger, davon ganz am Rand, den Wallpavillon.
Just right from the fountain in the background behind the trees you see the steeple of the Cathedral, more to the centre the spire of the Hausmann Tower of the Residential Palace and at the right edge the Rampart Pavilion of the Zwinger.
Der Zwinger ist ein GebƤudekomplex mit Gartenanlagen in Dresden. Das unter der Leitung des Architekten MatthƤus Daniel Pƶppelmann und des Bildhauers Balthasar Permoser errichtete Gesamtkunstwerk aus Architektur, Plastik und Malerei gehƶrt zu den bedeutenden Bauwerken des Barocks und ist neben der Frauenkirche das bekannteste Baudenkmal Dresdens. Sein Name Zwinger geht auf die im Mittelalter Ć¼bliche Bezeichnung fĆ¼r einen Festungsteil zwischen der ƤuĆeren und inneren Festungsmauer zurĆ¼ck, obschon der Zwinger bereits bei Baubeginn keine dem Namen entsprechende Funktion mehr erfĆ¼llte.
Der Zwinger entstand ab 1709 als Orangerie und Garten sowie als reprƤsentatives Festareal. Seine reich verzierten Pavillons und die von Balustraden, Figuren und Vasen gesƤumten Galerien zeugen von der Prachtentfaltung wƤhrend der Regentschaft des KurfĆ¼rsten Friedrich August I. (auch āAugust der Starkeā genannt) und seines dadurch ausgedrĆ¼ckten Machtanspruchs. In der ursprĆ¼nglichen Konzeption des KurfĆ¼rsten war der Zwinger als Vorhof eines neuen Schlosses vorgesehen, das den Platz bis zur Elbe einnehmen sollte; daher blieb der Zwinger zur Elbseite hin zunƤchst unbebaut (provisorisch mit einer Mauer abgeschlossen). Die Planungen zu einem Schlossneubau wurden nach dem Tod August des Starken aufgegeben, und mit der Abkehr vom Barock verlor der Zwinger zunƤchst an Bedeutung. Erst Ć¼ber ein Jahrhundert spƤter schloss ihn der Architekt Gottfried Semper mit der Sempergalerie zur Elbe hin ab.
Die 1855 erƶffnete Sempergalerie war eines der wichtigsten deutschen Museumsprojekte des 19. Jahrhunderts und ermƶglichte die Ausweitung der seit dem 18. Jahrhundert unter den jeweiligen ZeiteinflĆ¼ssen gewachsenen Nutzung des Zwingers als Museumskomplex. Die Luftangriffe auf Dresden am 13. und 14. Februar 1945 trafen den Zwinger schwer und fĆ¼hrten zu umfangreichen Zerstƶrungen. Seit dem Wiederaufbau in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren beherbergt der Zwinger die GemƤldegalerie Alte Meister, den Mathematisch-Physikalischen Salon und die Porzellansammlung. Die ursprĆ¼ngliche Zweckbestimmung als Orangerie, Garten sowie als reprƤsentatives Festareal ist dabei zwar in den Hintergrund getreten; letztere wird mit der AuffĆ¼hrung von Musik- und Theaterveranstaltungen jedoch weiterhin gepflegt.

The Zwinger is a building complex with gardens in Dresden. Its name that means 'bailey' derives from what had stood before in this place on the ramparts of the city. Built under the direction of the architect MatthƤus Daniel Pƶppelmann and the sculptor Balthasar Permoser, the Gesamtkunstwerk of architecture, sculpture and painting is one of the most important buildings of the baroque period and, along with Our Lady's Church, is the most famous architectural monument in Dresden. Its name Zwinger comes from the term used in the Middle Ages for a part of the fortress between the outer and inner fortification walls, although the Zwinger no longer fulfilled a function corresponding to its name when construction began.
The Zwinger was built from 1709 onwards as an orangery and garden and as a representative festival area. Its richly decorated pavilions and the galleries lined with balustrades, figures and vases bear witness to the splendour of the reign of Elector Frederick August I (also known as "August the Strong") and his claim to power. In the elector's original concept, the Zwinger was intended as the forecourt of a new palace, which was to occupy the square up to the Elbe; for this reason, the Zwinger remained undeveloped towards the Elbe side for the time being (provisionally closed off with a wall). The plans for a new palace were abandoned after the death of Augustus the Strong, and with the turning away from the Baroque, the Zwinger initially lost its importance. It was not until over a century later that the architect Gottfried Semper completed it with the Semper Gallery facing the Elbe.
Opened in 1855, the Semper Gallery was one of the most important German museum projects of the 19th century and enabled the extension of the use of the Zwinger as a museum complex, which had grown under the influence of the respective periods since the 18th century. The air raids on Dresden on 13 and 14 February 1945 hit the Zwinger hard and caused extensive destruction. Since its reconstruction in the 1950s and 1960s, the Zwinger has housed the Old Masters Picture Gallery, the Mathematical-Physical Salon and the Porcelain Collection. Although the original purpose of the Zwinger as an orangery, garden and representative festival area has been relegated to the background, the latter is still maintained with the performance of musical and theatre events.

I'm offline for a week, see you when I get back from the Eastern Sierra.
These are drops on a CD, or what to do when it's very, very hot outside....reflections of my window and the trees outside are in the drops.
So this is my final entry to summer joust this year! I've already posted pics of the temple and the outer wall separately but this is the final scene, in which I also added a tower. It measures about 80 studs wide and about 100 studs deep. Hope you guys like the complete scene! Please have a look in the album to see detail-shots of the separate sections :)
