this was a pre-dawn shot from last weekend, I was trying for that "silky" water effect but an added bonus was catching the planetary alignment of Jupiter, Mercury & Venus still visible in the top left corner. Lucky thing, don't think I'll be around for the next one !
I gaze through the wormhole, fixed in space, experiencing the thrilling speed of of the citrus grove as it rushes past, propelled by the earth's movement, spinning and circling the sun, an ancient, frenetic dance set in motion long, long ago.
I close the wormhole and return to reading today's copy of the New York Times. Ah, a revival of Pippin opens this weekend. I must go.

This is the light of the mind, cold and planetary.
The trees of the mind are black. The light is blue.
The grasses unload their griefs at my feet as if I were God,
Prickling my ankles and murmuring of their humility.
Fumy spiritous mists inhabit this place
Separated from my house by a row of headstones.
I simply cannot see where there is to get to.
The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right,
White as a knuckle and terribly upset.
It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet
With the O-gape of complete despair. I live here.
Twice on Sunday, the bells startle the sky –
Eight great tongues affirming the Resurrection.
At the end, they soberly bong out their names.
The yew tree points up. It has a Gothic shape.
The eyes lift after it and find the moon.
The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary.
Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.
How I would like to believe in tenderness –
The face of the effigy, gentled by candles,
Bending, on me in particular, its mild eyes.
I have fallen a long way. Clouds are flowering
Blue and mystical over the face of the stars.
Inside the church, the saints will be all blue,
Floating on their delicate feet over cold pews,
Their hands and faces stiff with holiness.
The moon sees nothing of this. She is bald and wild.
And the message of the yew tree is blackness –
blackness and silence.

Standing by the sea, I look out into infinity.
My gaze sweeps from left to right, and I can see almost 180 degrees. With my own eyes, I can observe the curvature of the horizon. I’ve come face to face with the planet.
It does something to you, to see it with your own eyes, this incomprehensible scale of the ocean. It's liberating. You let go of left-brain knowledge and lose yourself in awe.
Our ancient ancestors all the way back to the first animals have been seeing oceans just like this, and if there are other living worlds out there, they may have similar watery expanses.
Standing by the sea, I feel the oneness of it all. I feel connected to eternity.

"Planetary by My Chrmical Romance"
There might be something outside your window
But you'll just never know
There could be something right past the turnpike gates
But you'll just never know
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
And if their heaven ain't got a vacancy
Then we just, then we just, then we just
Then we just get up and go!

Absolutely thrilled to photograph Venus, Jupiter and Mars this morning! We had hazy cloud but could still make out Mars with the naked eye ;0)
And wonderful to have this photograph featured amongst so many fantastic captured from around the world!

Keep looking up!
a faint and ancient planetary nebula located in the constellation Camelopardalis, also known as the Giraffe. With an expansive diameter of over one light-year, HFG1 is the remnant of a dying star that has shed its outer layers. Due to its age, it is relatively diffuse and faint, making it a challenging target for observation. The nebula is of particular interest due to the binary system at its core, consisting of a white dwarf and a companion star, which produces a prominent wake as the system moves through space.
Nearby, Abell 6 is another planetary nebula, cataloged in George Abell’s survey of planetary nebulae. Like HFG1, it is located in Camelopardalis, though it is visually smaller and slightly younger. Abell 6 is known for its spherical structure and distinct shell of ionized gas. Both HFG1 and Abell 6 offer unique insights into the late stages of stellar evolution, contributing valuable data for astronomers studying the life cycle of stars.

From Left edge tiny Comet Catalina, Venus, Mars, Moon Jupiter top Right. If you zoom in 100% there is tiny star on the left of Venus that is Comet Catalina
taken from my backyard in April/May 2021 telescope session , from two hundreds sub frames I choose 90 the best x 120 seconds exposure time each for stacking and processing in PixInsight .Thanks for looking :) I used my home build Newtonian telescope with QHY268C camera and Optolong UV/IR Cut filter . thanks for looking .
