Corn and June Sky, captured with an Isco-Gottingen Westar 50mm f/2.8 lens mounted on my Sony A7S II with an M42 to Sony E-mount adapter.
What better place than the playground to take some early night sky captures. I took this as I was heading back to the campsite after capturing some of the late evening waterfall images there in Swallow Falls State Park, Maryland. I was hoping for some clear skies this past weekend so that I could compare Milky Way shots taken here versus Crater Lake, Oregon. This was taken very early in the evening, so the Milky Way was not out yet, just some of the brighter stars. I did scope out the playground, thinking this would be fun to come back to in order to capture the late night sky. Those photos to come yet, as I took some later that night after chilling out in front of the fire for a couple hours.
I did like how the sky and lighting looked for this capture, making for an interesting, if not playful, shot ;)
Vientos de cambio...
Y el cambio se sigue manifestando, pero lo que complica las cosas es tu oposición a el. Pareciera que tu solo eres capaz de ver lo negativo y se te dificulta entender que el cambio es lo único constante en esta vida y al final siempre será favorable. Pero si tú sigues renuente a hacer estos cambios, que son necesarios para tu crecimiento, tú situación no va a mejorar. La vida pide de ti dar un primer paso. Si bien es cierto que muchas veces estos cambios traen consigo caos y dolor, no significa que todo está perdido, solo debes andar con cuidado. Saber expresarte, comunicarte de manera precisa, sin ironías, dejar salir lo que se piensa y se siente. Pero sin intención de dañar al otro. Este sería el camino para evitar que el derrumbe se produzca. Porque al final como dice la frase:
¿Cómo culpar al viento por el desorden hecho, si fuí yo quien dejó la ventana abierta?
En todo caso tú actitud es clave, si no aprendes a fluir y te empeñas en seguir dando vueltas en el mismo punto. El riesgo será serio y al final al único que podrás culpar, será a ti mismo.
Naturalmente hay situaciones en las que cuesta tener una actitud positiva, pero en este momento es indispensable que no te permitas caer en la negatividad. No permitas que el dolor te envuelva de tal manera que no seas capaz de ver más allá de las apariencias. Todo, absolutamente todo cambia en la vida, nada es eterno. Y por más que ahora estés en la sombra, ya llegará el sol para alumbrar tu vida. Intenta cambiar tu perspectiva acerca del cambio, seguramente hay un mensaje y una lección que necesitas aprender, para ser mejor, para evolucionar en este viaje increíble que es la vida...
A beautiful evening sky capturing the soft golden glow on the wispy, feathered clouds which created a fantastic sense of movement in the sky. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.

Looking out over the Alfama district in Lisbon, the view reveals a cascade of terracotta rooftops leading down to the shimmering Tagus River. On the left, the dome of the National Pantheon rises above the neighborhood, while the white façade and bell tower of the Church of Santo Estêvão anchor the foreground. This historic quarter is the city’s oldest, a maze of narrow lanes, fado houses, and centuries-old dwellings that survived the 1755 earthquake. From this vantage, Lisbon’s timeless charm shines through—where pastel walls meet the deep blues of the river and sky, capturing the essence of Portugal’s capital.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
By 1350, the castle had passed to a younger son of the Earl of Sutherland through marriage. It may have been then that the keep was abandoned, possibly because it was beginning to slip down the mound, and a new residence established at the north of the bailey.
Viscount Dundee, leader of the first Jacobite Rising, dined in the castle as a guest of James, Lord Duffus in 1689, prior to his victory against King William II’s government forces at Killiecrankie. Soon after, Lord Duffus moved to the nearby Duffus House. The castle quickly fell into decay.

Da var nordlyssesongen 2015-2016 i gang. Rundt midnatt var jeg ute og sjekket, før jeg gikk i seng, og oppdaget av noen var på gang. Fikk ikke tid til å dra ut og tok bildene fra hustaket mitt. Et flott og klart nordlys som varte en god stund.
The Aurora season 2015-2016 has started. Beautiful and strong Aurora last night. Visible and very clear for a long time over my home community Sjoevegan. This is a promising start on the Aurora season.
NGC 5466 in Bootes is a loose globular cluster of very metal-poor stars, indicating a very high age, estimated at 12.88 billion years. The globular cluster is located in the galactic halo of our Milky Way, about 52,000 light-years from Earth. In 2005, a tidal tail was discovered emanating from NGC 5466 and extending about 45° across the sky.
Captured in mid May.
