Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫
Images of lavender reminds me of our Adriatic home, but they happily grow in our Canadian home too. I single bush in the garden just to keep memory alive.
Taken with Pentacon AV 80mm f2.8. It misses a little bit of contrast, but nothing that could not be solved with little bit of Rawtherapee.
There were two of these gorgeous trees in full bloom at Lake St. Clair Metropark. The leaves looked like chestnut trees but the flowers were colored like buckeye tree flowers. Both of those trees have large palmate compound leaves. What were they, I wondered.
Later, I remembered seeing trees like these many years ago in Paris. They lined many of the streets and boulevards of Paris. There were the Horse-chestnuts with whitish flowers, and these pink/red flowers of the Red Horse-chestnut trees.
This picture is of Red Horse-chestnuts, a hybrid of Red Buckeye and Horse-chestnut...mystery solved (again).

A first run at this object with my own setup, guided exposures. Guiding graph was quite exceptional with RMS error at 0.03" then later 0.07" but I tossed away 1/2 my lights over 2 nights due to some trailing at the edges. Discovered this was due to the reducer slightly unscrewed. Some high cloud in a couple of the shots made the seeing wobbly so guiding wasn't perfect all night. Will add more data next time we have clear skies. Everything was iced up after 2 nights outside in -4 deg C temps, but dew band heaters kept going. So did I by sitting indoors and watching it all on Teamviewer! I still have a little amp glow on the right from the 700D! Updated the HC and MC on the mount too, but still not totally satisfied with the way it is performing. Everything looks pretty tight but the Alt axis is still 'rocking' slightly in its locked position.

These little Semipalmated Sandpipers were the predominate shorebird with the White-Rumped Sandpipers in with them. They look similar but are a bit smaller with a shorter black bill but from afar hard to distinguish. These Semipalmated are common migrants through here.

Deep in the Southern sky, right next to the Small Magellanic Cloud and just 18° from the South Celestial Pole, lies this magnificent globular cluster.
With millions of stars, 47-Tucanae is the second largest globular cluster in the sky after Omega Centauri.

I finally figured out what happened with this shot. While reorganizing some photos I came across the first roll shot on my Canonet way back in January. The photos had to be saturated (at the time using Picasa2) because they came out too pale--two of the photos can be seen here and here.
Well, judging by the second roll shot on the same camera, the problem is the film. This roll was part of the same batch of Fuji Superia 200 purchased on eBay. The film is not expired. The date on the package reads 2007/11 but this film was not purchased by the seller in the US like he said (closeout at B&H) because all the characters in the back of the box are Vietnamese. Perhaps that has everything to do with the quality of the film?
I have a few more of these. Should I post them? ;-)
I could not use many 15-minute exposure frames due to malfunction of my equipment at the first night in this period.
