We can only hope we are not the only planet with life ...
Night sky capture over Arizona at the Grand Canyon.
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
Captured at: Lemon Trees Mediterranean,
Sometimes simplicity hits the hardest. Just one tree standing proud in the paddock… and above it, the mighty Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way, glowing softly across the southern sky.
Captured during a still night somewhere between in the Wheatbelt — lots of fog, airglow and light pollution from a farm nearby. These are the moments that remind me why I chase the night.
There was a lot of IFN dust popping through which I ended up toning down. The sky is a 2-shot stack of 20x60s each blended with a 120s single image foreground.

Perched on the soft "canopy" of Bromus madritensis, an Adonis blue (Polyommatus bellargus) spread its wings — a whisper of sky, captured by an old friend: my very first DSLR, the Canon EOS Rebel T3, paired with a 100mm macro lens.
This image may be slightly blurred, but sometimes, memories are soft too.
And yet the feeling remains sharp — not because of the gear, but because of the moment.
I still remember the quiet joy, the trembling grass, the sudden flutter of fragile blue.
My old camera often rests in the shadows of newer ones — the 77D, the R7.
But here, with this butterfly, its heart beat once again.
📍 Shot handheld, early summer light, on a dry meadow that remembers every step.

This image features a lovely sunset bottom-lighting the clouds above Lough NaFooey in County Mayo, Ireland with the surface water of the lough also catching some lovely reflected light and colour from the sky.
Captured using a Canon 6D and a Canon 70-200mm ƒ/4 lens with the NiSi V5 Pro Filter Holder, a NiSi 5 Stop Graduated ND filter and a Lee 0.9 ND Filter.
This rocky desert scene was very pretty under the clouds and blue sky. Captured with the CPL filter.

Comentario como se realizó la fotografía, idioma Español:
Os prometí que os subiría la fotografía del fantásma y aqui la teneis.
Una vez decidimos quedarnos a tomar fotos nocturnas, estabamos el grupo tomando fotos unos al lado de los otros, formando la primera fila tendidos en el suelo los segonda a media altura y la tercera con el tripode en alto, asi no nos molestábamos los unos con los otros.
Yo elegí un plano muy bajo con el tripode totalmente abierto y a un palmo del suelo.
Realicé varios disparos con distintos tiempos de exposición para asegurar una buena captura.
Una vez finalizada la sesión con este encuadre me dispongo a verificar los resultados y veo unas botas o zapatos que se pasea por mi lado izquierdo y les comento a los compañeros, quien habia pasado por nuestro lado y me contestan que nadie, el puente estaba solitario, yo les muestro mi captura y empiezan a mirarse los unos con los otros y nadie lo habia visto, pero pasó... pasó por nuestro lado, ahí lo dejo a vuestro criterio.
Analizando los zapatos parecen unas botas de piel de las de la época... por ese motivo he puesto este título en la presente foto que espero que os guste. Antoni Gallart.

Comment how the photograph was taken, English language:
I promised you that I would upload the photograph of the phantasm and here you have it.
Once we decided to stay to take night photos, the group was taking photos side by side, forming the first row lying on the ground, the second at half height and the third with the tripod raised, so that we did not bother each other with the others.
I chose a very low plane with the tripod fully open and one foot off the ground.
I took several shots with different exposure times to ensure a good capture.
Once the session with this frame is finished, I am about to verify the results and I see some boots or shoes that walk on my left side and I comment to the companions, who had passed by us and they answered me that no one, the bridge was lonely , I show them my capture and they begin to look at each other and nobody had seen it, but it happened ... it passed by us, there I leave it to your discretion.
Analyzing the shoes they look like leather boots of the time ... for that reason I have put this title in this photo that I hope you like. Antoni Gallart.

A majestic deer stands beneath an old stone bridge, its antlers sprawling like twisted tree branches—ancient, gnarled, and alive with quiet magic. Shafts of dappled sunlight filter through the slats above, catching in the intricate tangle of horn and casting delicate shadows on its sleek, tawny coat.
At its hooves, a sparkling stream winds gently past, its crystal-clear waters catching the light like a ribbon of stars. The stream dances over smooth stones and weaves its way toward a breathtaking turquoise lake, so vividly blue it seems unreal—like a piece of sky captured in the earth.
Around the water’s edge, wildflowers bloom in a riot of color—bright golds, deep violets, scarlet reds, and snowy whites. They sway gently in the breeze, nodding toward the water as if in reverence. The air hums softly with the sound of insects and the faint, melodic whisper of water moving through the land.
The deer lifts its head slowly, ears twitching, eyes serene and otherworldly. It is a creature that seems born from myth—half spirit, half forest—a quiet guardian of a place where the veil between worlds feels thin.
I was editing a few older images from my Fall trip to Colorado in 2019 and I ran across this image from Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. I remember this late afternoon. The color of the mountains and sky captured me, I didn't want to leave. The mountains will do that to you if you're not careful. They will grab ahold of you and won't let go. I have to go back soon.

A close-up view of lush, fragrant pink garden roses blooming under a partly cloudy blue sky. Captured on the edge of a private yard in Jarun, Zagreb, this vibrant image showcases nature’s delicate elegance and the timeless beauty of roses in full bloom.
🇩🇪 Deutsch:
Eine Nahaufnahme prächtiger rosafarbener Gartenrosen, die unter einem teilweise bewölkten blauen Himmel erblühen. Aufgenommen am Rande eines Gartens im Zagreber Stadtteil Jarun. Dieses lebendige Bild zeigt die zarte Eleganz der Natur und die zeitlose Schönheit blühender Rosen.
🇭🇷 Hrvatski:
Krupan kadar raskošnih, mirisnih ruža u punom cvatu, snimljen uz rub dvorišta jedne kuće u zagrebačkom naselju Jarun. Ruže se penju prema nebu, a plavi oblaci u pozadini stvaraju savršen kontrast prirodne ljepote i živih boja.
There were lots of roses hanging from the fence and the façade of the house in my previous photo - this 'bouquet' looked great against the blue sky!
Captured in Niefern-Öschelbronn (Germany), but I've added it to my Brand album, as that was where we were going.
Findhorn is one of the more popular beaches along the Moray coastline thanks to the long, unspoilt sandy stretch of the shore and the natural beauty of this spot.
When the tide is out, a wide expanse of flat sand is exposed, ideal for taking bracing walks. As the tide comes in most of the sand is covered, leaving just the top of the beach which is more pebbly.
One of my best images from the recent sunset shoot at Vermilion Lakes in Banff National Park. Spectacular cloud formations flowed almost imperceptibly across the sky, capturing the yellow light of the sun sinking behind the distant ranges. It was numbingly cold, but it definitely could have been colder so I can't complain too much!
Let me know what you think of it!
