Transparent raindrops hang on a bunch of Scarlet Firethorn berries floating in space with colorful bubbles as an honorary accompaniment. Just another ordinary day on our planet... ...And remember, there is NO planet B.
In December 2018, at the end of our house building in Sri Lanka, we took a short trip to Singapore, where this picture was taken. - Instagram 2020
Nicknamed "Super-food", because it is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins C and K. On top of that they look beautiful and taste yummy and can be used to decorate a beautiful dish !!
This is an optical illusion created by blurring:
You are looking through the holes of a flat skimmer ladle onto the blue glitter foam rubber underneath. I focused on the edges of the bokeh until a 3D effect was created and it looked like spheres : ))
In the first comment you can see a photo of the ladle and foam rubber
Crazy Tuesday - theme of August 23, 2022: Geometry
taken with the manual Laowa 60mm ultra macro lens (I don't know the aperture anymore as I was playing around a lot ; ))

Dies ist eine optische Täuschung, bewirkt durch Unschärfe:
Ihr seht hier durch die Löcher einer flachen Schöpfkelle hindurch auf das darunter liegende blaue Glitzer-Moosgummi. Den Fokus habe ich auf die Ränder des Bokehs gelegt, bis eine 3D-Wirkung entstand und Kugeln "erschienen"
Im ersten Kommentar seht ihr ein Foto der Schöpfkelle

I'm Watching You
~Jay L. Morris~
Every morning I wake to inspect
the Sun come rising in the East.
To make doubly certain that it is
the same as the Sun sunk in the West.
A foolish notion this spherical world
same horizons every day.
Predictable as a pendulum and
moving in fits and spurts.
A world where people are born
only to die again.
Where their grandest achievement must be
not to muck things up.
Yet, of course, they do.
In grand style at that.
Most with no purpose greater
than the average alley cat.
Some, though, have nobler ideals.
See the wonder, as I, in the sunrise, sunsets.
they intuitively know their places
in relation to all creation.
Those are the ones to watch for.

It had been raining that morning when I arrived at Wynn Nature Center. I decided that it would be macro day and pulled out the 65mm lens, one of the hardest to use, but oh, what images it can make! Here I worked the rain droplets on the long leaf of a fireweed plant.

This spherical panorama was taken in the Presbytery at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England. Architecturally, the cathedral is outstanding both for its scale and stylistic details. Having been built originally in a monumental Romanesque style, the galilee porch, lady chapel and choir were rebuilt in an exuberant Decorated Gothic style. The present building dates back to 1083, and it was granted cathedral status in 1109.
The east end of the cathedral, shown here, was completed in 1252. The Presbytery was built to house the shrine of St Etheldreda, the founder of the original monastery that occupied this site from 673. The shrine attracted pilgrims for centuries until it was destroyed in the Reformation.
The beautifully ornate stonework of the High Altar at the top of the image resembles solid gold in its glowing light. Behind it you can see the colourful stained glass of the East Window.
Keine perfekte Kugel im geometrischen Sinne, aber doch von ähnlicher Form.
Not a perfect ball. Ideal geometric constructions are reserved for mathematics.

Kugelpanorama
Ich wollte die letzte Nacht eigentlich die Milchstraße Fotografieren, leider ist mir nach dem ersten Bild das Adaptergewinde vom Skytracker gebrochen. Hab dann das Panorama gemacht damit ich nicht leer nach Hause fahren muss.
Das besteht aus 20 Hochformatbildern.
Rechts der Streifen ist ein Flugzeug, ganz rechts unten in der Ecke ist die Andromedagalaxie zu sehen und unten der hellste Punkt ist Jupiter neben dem noch ein Irridiumflare zu sehen ist.
Man siehts schlecht aber links oben, also quasi im Nordwesten der Kugel ist ganz leichtes Polarlicht zu sehen.
An dem Bild sieht man auch gut wie Licht verschmutzt auch Rügen leider schon ist.
Beste grüße und ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich!
