Polaris (Post 1 - Award 3)

This large architectural sculpture installation fills the round-about in the street that leads to the Michigan Library and Historical Building. Viewed from this angle, a 40-foot tree can be seen through the columns. It is planted in an interior open courtyard behind the entrance to the building, and soars nearly to the fourth story.
The tree is a White Pine, Michigan's State Tree, and welcomes all to the museum complex.
The sculptural installation, the "Polaris Ring" was created by noted Michigan sculptor, David Barr. (1939-2015)
Standing behind the large stone in the center of the columns, looking through the two tallest of the 50 steel columns, should sight to Polaris, the North Star, in the night sky. (I didn't return at night to verify this.)
The Polaris Ring, a sculptural installation, by noted Michigan sculptor David Barr (1939-2015), fills a round-about in front of the Michigan Library and Historical Building, Lansing, Michigan.
Some people call this a "modern Stonehenge". The first picture in the comments below shows an alignment that focuses on a 4-story White Pine growing in an open atrium at the Michigan Library and Historical Building. Step into the ring, with the rock boulder in front of you, look between the two largest columns and it will sight to Polaris, the North Star.

Thirty-minute single shot from the top of the mountain, facing north. The photograph was taken one hour after sunset with an almost full moon. The sky was cloudy and because of the north wind the highest layers of the clouds were moving faster than those in the lower ones.
“Polaris Pond II.” Inyo National Forest above Bishop. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this area as beautiful as it was on 10/03/2020. The trees in the foreground of this photo typically turn color earlier than others and are promptly stripped of their leaves from the prevailing west winds in the area. Not so this year. As seen here, these trees were still holding on to their leaves. Moreover, most areas—with the exception of a small patch—were already sporting their yellow, orange, or red. In short, almost all the trees in the area were in their full, vibrant color—and virtually none had lost their leaves. Add in the fact that the colors were “better than average” vibrancy this year (last year was very dull), it was truly magical.

*This was my first attempt to catch the Polaris, so...don't have in count the quality, I'll improve it :)

EXPLORED [# 122 Highest] on Flickr - 19 June 2011 - Thanks Everyone!
Total: 206 shots stitched together.
Total Duration: 2 hours.
Each shot is f/3.5, 30 sec exposure, ISO 100, focal length 18 mm. I did not use the "bulb" mode for a continuous 2-hour-shot in order to avoid excessive noise, sensor heating and over exposure.

Once a luxury yacht, now a research vessel in the United States Geologic Survey the Polaris sits quietly at anchor at the Port of Redwood City. The 96 ft. ship, built in 1927, is reputedly the oldest vessel in the federal fleet.
The USGS mission is to monitor, analyze, and predict current and evolving dynamics of complex human and natural Earth-system interactions and to deliver actionable intelligence at scales and timeframes relevant to decision makers--not as exciting as seeking out new life, and boldly going where no man has gone before, aboard the Starship Enterprise me thinks.

The Coast Guard has said they would remove this abandoned tugboat, but that was over 3 years ago...
Hope they forget about it.

Star trails, oh, how I've missed thee...
I'm finally off for a few weeks so headed up to Mt. Rainier the other evening for star trails. It was nice to escape our heatwave and wear a parka at the lake. :D

A Brief History of the R/V Polaris
The history of the R/V Polaris can be most effectively divided into two overarching topical areas, which relate to the 20th century history of the western United States.
The vessel belonged to Lee Allen Phillips, a prominent California businessman and land developer, from 1926 until his death in 1938. He used the Polaris as a pleasure craft and to visit his irrigation projects in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (also California Delta.). Lee Allen Phillips was a Progressive-era businessman who took a special interest in irrigation and reclamation. The vessel’s association with Phillips represents a link to the history of California. Called the Pasado Mañana at the time, the vessel was sold to John Grant, a Los Angeles oilman, in 1938. He kept the vessel until 1944 when the U.S. Army acquired it and used the vessel as a personnel transport in Puget Sound. The vessel changed hands several times after the war until it was acquired by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1966.
The USGS converted the pleasure craft into a research vessel and it has played a vital role in marine geology and water quality research in Alaska and the San Francisco Bay area. The Polaris sailed from the South San Francisco Bay continuously from 1968 until it was retired in 2015.
