Managed to stack together 11 photos for this !

Manually aligned the images so the bulk of the alignment is around the galactic core. Resulting in a slightly fuzzy outer edge - which allows you to focus more on the core itself :)

Used the Samyang or Rokinon 12mm f2 wide open (at f2) for this photo

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.

Cape Hatteras Light, Outer Banks of North Carolina from June. Not sure what happened, but Flickr wiped out over 500 faves and kicked it out of all but two groups as well as Explore. Added it back into the groups.

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.

Si cruzas mis sentimientos

y anudas mis anhelos,

si habitas en mis sueños

y resides en mis deseos,

si sabes que te amo,

y sabiéndolo eres feliz,

si sabes que eres todo para mí.

When I visited „The Outer Garden“ in Second Life, I was instantly drawn into a stunning and serene environment with a very romantic vibe.

Entering through the White Garden, I found myself enveloped in a charming scene illuminated by soft lighting, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for sharing special moments with friends or loved ones.

The picturesque setting encouraged exploration, and I thoroughly enjoyed capturing photos of the beautiful surroundings. I left feeling inspired and eager to return soon for another delightful experience.

Thanks to the creators!

In the land of nowhere,

There's an angel sitting alone in the garden

full of flowers and snow flakes.

Loneliness overwhelmed the air around.

So silence and cold.

Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of ​​8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. Málaga is second-most populous city of Andalusia. Known to many as the capital of the Costa del Sol, Málaga is more than a seaside city. Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was founded about 770 BC by the Phoenicians as Malaka. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic center of the city an "open museum", displaying its history of nearly 3,000 years. The Cathedral of Málaga is located within the limits defined by a now missing portion of the medieval Moorish walls. The Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in its Renaissance architectural tradition. It was constructed between 1528 and 1782. The façade, unlike the rest of the building, is in Baroque style. The tower is 84 metres high. A series of grand artworks fills the sanctuary, among them are the Gothic altarpiece of the Chapel of Santa Barbara and the 16th century tombs of the Chapel of San Francisco.

Málaga is one of the oldest cities in Spain and hallmarks of its rich past are scattered across Malaga: the cobbled streets of the old quarter, its mountainside Roman Amphitheatre, the Moorish citadels of the Alcazaba and Gilfarbaro. And even once the sight-seeing is done, there’s still a city full of rooftop bars, gleaming boutique stores and nearby beaches to explore. Cathedral of Málaga built between 1528 and 1782, the construction was never completed. Due to a lack of money, a second tower has never been built and that gives it a special, asymmetrical appearance. For this reason, it is popularly called "La Manquita"; the one-armed lady. Inside, the cathedral has three naves, two magnificent 17th century organs, and contains impressive mahogany and cedar wood choir stalls that houses 40 carved wooden statues of saints. It's without hesitation the most important monument of the city. Its different towers, its magnificient facade and its legacy makes it a master piece on its own.

Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. Málaga is de tweede meest bevolkte stad van Andalusië. Málaga is bij velen bekend als de hoofdstad van de Costa del Sol en is meer dan een stad aan zee. De geschiedenis van Málaga beslaat ongeveer 2.800 jaar en is daarmee een van de oudste steden van Europa. Het werd gesticht rond 770 voor Christus door de Feniciërs als Malaka. De archeologische overblijfselen en monumenten uit de Fenicische, Romeinse, Arabische en christelijke tijdperken maken van het historische centrum van de stad een "open museum", met een geschiedenis van bijna 3000 jaar. De kathedraal van Málaga bevindt zich naast de ontbrekend deel van de middeleeuwse Moorse muren. De kathedraal is een rooms-katholieke kerk. Het werd gebouwd tussen 1528 en 1782. Uit geldgebrek is er nooit een tweede toren bijgebouwd en dat zorgt voor het bijzondere, asymmetrische uiterlijk van deze kathedraal. Om deze reden wordt ze in de volksmond ook wel ‘La Manquita’ genoemd; de eenarmige vrouw. De gevel, in tegenstelling tot de rest van het gebouw, is in barokstijl. De toren is 84 meter hoog. Een reeks grootse kunstwerken vult het heiligdom, waaronder het gotische altaarstuk van de kapel van Santa Barbara en de 16e-eeuwse graven van de kapel van San Francisco. "La Manquita" zoals bekend bij de inwoners van Malaga, is zonder aarzeling het belangrijkste monument van de stad.

Erigeron annuus is a herbaceous plant with alternate, simple leaves, and green, sparsely hairy stems, which can grow to between 30 and 150 centimeters (about 1 to 5 feet) in height. Leaves are numerous and large relative to other species of Erigeron, with lower leaves, especially basal leaves, coarsely toothed or cleft, a characteristic readily distinguishing this species from most other Erigeron. Upper leaves are sometimes (not always) toothed, but may have a few coarse teeth towards the outer tips.

The flower heads are white with yellow centers, with rays that are white to pale lavender, borne spring through fall depending on the individual plant. Ray florets number 40-100.

Zomerfijnstraal (Erigeron annuus; synoniem: Phalacroloma annuum) is een eenjarige plant die behoort tot de composietenfamilie (Asteraceae). De geslachtsnaam Erigeron is afkomstig van het Oudgriekse eri dat vroeg en geron, dat oude man betekent, hetgeen verwijst naar de pluizige zaadhoofdjes.
