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!

As I walked the short, beautiful trail along the Sturgeon River to Canyon Falls, I came across this gentleman. Like most of us photographers, he is coming to a decision on how he wants to capture the scene . . . usually quite differently than someone capturing a 'selfie' . . .
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.

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).

Portable kitchens are very popular everywhere in Thailand. I found the most delicious soups, barbecues, and salads at such food stalls. All is very fresh prepared and cooked. This one I have seen and captured in Nathon, Koh Samui.

“As if everybody here would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes”
I, for one, never could figure out what Paul Simon was talking about. Maybe it was snowflakes on the soles of her shoes? :-)

Crows are very social, sometimes forming flocks in the thousands. Inquisitive and sometimes mischievous, crows are good learners and problem-solvers, often raiding garbage cans and picking over discarded food containers. They’re also aggressive and often chase away larger birds including hawks, owls and herons.

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.
Clouds and Rain....another reprocess from this summer
The Lagoon Nebula is 8 in Charles Messier's "not a comet" list, 25 in the Sharpless catalog and 6523 in the New General Calalog.(NGC) It is a cloud of ionized hydrogen estimated to be 4000-6000 light years from earth. It can be seen with the naked eye as a gray/green patch in the constellation of Sagittarius..Almost in the center of the photo can be seen NGC 6530, an open cluster of young stars formed from material within the nebula. The entire nebula is roughly 110 x 50 light-years wide.

Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
Christine went out tonight and looked into the Cat house on the patio. and came in and said there is something in there. We looked in again. Surprise it was Binx.
We started feeding him back in the summer, He had been more or less hanging around under our car for at least a year. We fed him on the front porch since we had other critters in back. We have been talking about how we could persuade him to use the heated Cat house on the patio this winter.
Problem solved! He is already using it. That really made my day.👌😊😍👍😁💕Yeh!! Sometimes things do work out just right!

I noviluni di questa estate non sono stati molto favorevoli. Spesso sereno ma con il cielo veramente poco trasparente. Inoltre anche la temperatura ambiente ha contribuito a complicare le cose per chi utilizza le DSLR non raffreddate.
Infatti in questa circostanza pur essendo a 1600 metri slm la temperatura non è mai scesa sotto i 20°C facendo lavorare il sensore della mia 550D intorno ai 26°-27°C e file.raw con rumore termico.
Ad ogni modo ho tentato di ottenere il massimo dall'immagine combinata con DSS.
Persino il gradiente da inquinamento luminoso ha voluto complicarmi la vita, ma spero che il risultato sia comunque gradevole.
The new moon this summer were not very favorable. Often without clouds but with very little transparent sky. Also, the ambient temperature has contributed to complicate matters for those who use DSLR uncooled.
In fact, on this occasion despite being at 1600 meters above sea level, the temperature never dropped below 20 ° C making the sensor work in my 550D around 26 ° -27 ° C and file.raw with thermal noise.
Anyway I tried to get the most from the image combined with DSS.
Even from light pollution gradient wanted complicate my life, but I hope that the result is still pleasant
