Another take from an earlier post shows the Holbrook Train rollling off the final miles on their way back to the yard at Snowflake. The sun was dropping quickly, but highlighting the landscape and colors. Almost insignificant is the 99, 84, & 81 bringing 27 cars home for the day. Almost.
I finally got a usable photo of the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) in flight as well during 2022.
They are hard to catch in their quick flight for insects above the water. I finally found a spot where it was pretty easy to follow their route for a good result.

A quick snap of a very contented Archie licking his lips after a fishy lunch, quickly edit on the mobile Lightroom App.
Quick little last min trip down the beach, as had been waiting in all day for a delivery. A new Nikon D750, as i arrived at the beach a little wet, a gap appeared in the clouds hail fell and a rainbow appeared so managed to grab a quick snap and its probably the happiest iv been with a quick snap iv taken before. Really looking forward to using this kit and getting the most out of the camera :)
A quick shot of the rain gathering on the window the other day. I liked the way it converted to monochrome, I feel like it gives it a bit of a pop.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

It was a very cloudy day and I was taking a nap at the campground. 30 minutes before sunset the clouds started to look interesting. So I quickly got up and rushed 2KM to my spot. It only took me 20 minutes, my trail walking record :)

For The Teleidoscope's Theme: Speed
How appropriate that the Teleidoscope's theme "speed" falls right in the middle of the busiest running month for me :) Tomorrow is another 10km race, hoping I do well!
Yesterday during my long run I was thinking about how much running has started to become such an important part of my life. A few years ago I never would have thought that I would be training not only for my 4th marathon, but also to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I added up all the races that I've done in the past 3 years and the number actually surprised me: 21. Some of them were short, some were marathons but all of them have helped me to realize my own capacity and my own drive and have changed my life in the best possible way.
A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.
13 x 4 minute exposures at 400 ISO
8 x dark frames
10 x flat frames
21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only)
Total exposure time - 52 minutes
Guided with PHD
Processed in Nebulosity, Maxim DL and Photoshop
Equipment
Celestron NexStar 127 SLT
GoTo AltAz mount with homemade wedge
Orion 50mm Mini Guide Scope
ZWO ASI120 MC guiding camera

[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]

Tide receding quickly at Hopewell Rocks Park, Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick.
The Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpots Rocks or simply The Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion in The Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site in New Brunswick. They stand 40–70 feet tall.
They are located on the shores of the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape near the end of a series of Fundy coastal tourism hubs including Fundy National Park and the Fundy Trail. Due to the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy, the base of the formations are covered in water twice a day. However, it is possible to view the formations from ground level at low tide.
The formations consist of dark sedimentary conglomerate and sandstone rock. The large volume of water flowing in to and out of the Bay of Fundy modifies the landscape surrounding it. After the retreat of the glaciers in the region following the last ice age, surface water filtering through cracks in the cliff has eroded and separated the formations from the rest of the cliff face. Meanwhile, advancing and retreating tides and the associated waves have eroded the base of the rocks at a faster rate than the tops, resulting in their unusual shapes. (Wikipedia.)

Smile on Saturday theme: Animals out of focus 😊
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊

Take a quick look at his Flickr page and it doesn’t take long to see the great perception and sense for photography Mark Darbin (a.k.a. dizbin) has and this still life shot of inanimate, yet animate, subjects is our Photo of the Month for September!
Mark was putting his daughter to bed when he noticed the toy lamp she had was similar to the one on her desk. He took it to the living room and used the light from the larger lamp to shoot it. As simple as this sounds, it took him two sessions to get it right as the light bulb in the big lamp stuck out the bottom.
‘On the second attempt I tried both a background light, a secondary light source, both lights on etc. In the end I had to put the small lamp slightly behind so that I could tilt the large light back to hide the bulb.’ – Mark.
Shot with a Nikon D5100 + NIIKOR 105.0 mm f/2.8 @ Æ’/3.0 | 105.0 mm | 1/13s | ISO 100
Despite keeping a low profile online, Mark’s work has been noticed by a number of photography sites and photographers and, of course, it has not escaped us. To enjoy more of his work, head to his page on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/101216325@N03/
