It is not the Moon, it is the Venus.
I took this photo from the balcony last night at 10:38 p.m. and only 10 minutes later Venus had already disappeared behind the horizon.
In addition to the 300mm I used a 1.7x teleconverter in front of the lens here.
Distance to the larger wind turbine in foreground 10km and only 45 million to Venus ;-)
encounter cormorant nesting sight as I brought my kiddos for a walk at the shadow cliff this morning, my kiddos loved the place will do another walk soon
In my depth of sight I see, the basics of nature staring at me.
The Longing for simpler times and the most basic of needs.
Searching for quite in the rush of getting things done.
In my depth of sight I see, the basic redesign of me.
The Longing for the simple to be more common than weeds.
Searching for a rush of peace before the morning sun.
In my depth of sight I see, the basic creation of love in me.
The longing for a simple life starts with simple deeds.
Searching for anything that brings a sense of calm to one.
In my depth of sight I see, basic ties to the earth and me.
The longing for simple has been found in these tiny seeds.
Searching for nothing as the earth sprouts my daily fun.

Fichtelberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elevation 1,214.6 m (3,985 ft)
Location
Fichtelberg is located in Saxony
Germany
The Fichtelberg (German pronunciation: [ˈfɪçtəlbɛɐ̯k]) is a mountain with two main peaks in the middle of the Ore Mountains in the east German state of Saxony, near the Czech border. At 1,214.6 m (3,985 ft) above sea level, the Fichtelberg is the highest mountain in Saxony, the second highest in the Ore Mountains and used to be the highest mountain in East Germany. Its subpeak is 1,206 m (3,957 ft) high.
One the west side of Trail Ridge Rd. we stopped for a bit and as the back of Denise's hat say's this is Colorado's Rocky Mt. National Pk.
Although very chilly winds were forecasted combined with mostly cloudy skies, I was just hoping to catch sight of the Harlequins. I knew that they tend to stay on the eastern side of the jetty where the waves come smashing into the sides, and given the late arrival, might not have such good light, especially to capture the brilliant colors and the dark eyes. But, in spite of the obstacles, it was a wonderful surprise, at the end of the day, when uploading the photos from the flash drive, and finding that this muted tone appealed to me. I have already captured some very beautiful moments in good sunlight before—SEE the ALBUM on Barnegat Lighthouse SP—so to get this look was a nice addition to the inventory.
The Harlequin Ducks are amongst the very favorites of many photographers and birders, for the patterns and colors are truly quite eye-catching. In addition, it is amazing to see how they enjoy the rough waters by the rocky structures, all while pecking away at barnacles and marine vegetation on the jagged walls.
The Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is truly a splendid landscape, famous mostly for its historic lighthouse (over 100 years old) of architecturally clean lines that accentuate its presence, but also the well-designed structure of the long jetty consisting of huge rocks and boulders sandwiched between the nice sandy beach and the ocean, and finally, the wonderful array of fascinating birds throughout the seasons. Throughout the day, one can expect to see a variety of water vessels, from small one-man fishing boats to larger motorized ones, and even enormous tankers in the far distance. The U.S. Coastguard boats are constantly on the lookout for any potential problems in the water.
All of this is even more beautiful during the breathtaking end-of-the-day sunsets or early morning sunrise period, with the accompanying “Magic/Golden Hour” that exudes the special tones in the air. As nature enthusiasts and photographers, it doesn’t get much better than this.

This is the steeple of Greenwich Presbyterian Church near Nokesville, Virginia in Prince William County. It is a beautiful old structure.
Sometimes we meet very special people in our lives that really touch us.
Yesterday I met someone very special. And I really hope he stays in my life.......

This whirling image features a bright spiral galaxy known as MCG-01-24-014, which is located about 275 million light-years from Earth. In addition to being a well-defined spiral galaxy, MCG-01-24-014 has an extremely energetic core, known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN), so it is referred to as an active galaxy. Even more specifically, it is categorised as a Type-2 Seyfert galaxy. Seyfert galaxies host one of the most common subclasses of AGN, alongside quasars. Whilst the precise categorisation of AGNs is nuanced, Seyfert galaxies tend to be relatively nearby ones where the host galaxy remains plainly detectable alongside its central AGN, while quasars are invariably very distant AGNs whose incredible luminosities outshine their host galaxies.
There are further subclasses of both Seyfert galaxies and quasars. In the case of Seyfert galaxies, the predominant subcategories are Type-1 and Type-2. These are differentiated from one another by their spectra — the pattern that results when light is split into its constituent wavelengths — where the spectral lines that Type-2 Seyfert galaxies emit are particularly associated with specific so-called ‘forbidden’ emission. To understand why emitted light from a galaxy could be considered forbidden, it helps to understand why spectra exist in the first place. Spectra look the way they do because certain atoms and molecules will absorb and emit light very reliably at very specific wavelengths. The reason for this is quantum physics: electrons (the tiny particles that orbit the nuclei of atoms and molecules) can only exist at very specific energies, and therefore electrons can only lose or gain very specific amounts of energy. These very specific amounts of energy correspond to certain light wavelengths being absorbed or emitted.
Forbidden emission lines, therefore, are spectral emission lines that should not exist according to certain rules of quantum physics. But quantum physics is complex, and some of the rules used to predict it use assumptions that suit laboratory conditions here on Earth. Under those rules, this emission is ‘forbidden’ — so improbable that it’s disregarded. But in space, in the midst of an incredibly energetic galactic core, those assumptions don’t hold anymore, and the ‘forbidden’ light gets a chance to shine out towards us.
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy. It appears to be almost circular and seen face-on, with two prominent spiral arms winding out from a glowing core. It is centred in the frame as if a portrait. Most of the background is black, with only tiny, distant galaxies, but there are two large bright stars in the foreground, one blue and one red, directly above the galaxy.]

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

Good Lord, look at this POS.
Q-STOMEM was clearly built by somebody who needs their lips ripped off. What an awful sight.
