The sun is just about to be enveloped in a shroud of clouds, as Wisconsin & Southern train L599 departs Horicon with a rather large train, consisting of 100 loads of soybeans for the CN and 42 shorts. It was nice spending the morning with Matt Bro and Mikey Hurley from across the big pond.

Well then let's start by taking a closer look at the sights of Dresden's old town.
It starts with our “bulky”, the famous Frauenkirche.
You can probably already imagine where this beautiful Protestant church got this nickname, which is not meant to be insulting but rather loving. Or ?
Correct, this enormous 24 meter high dome earned her that. This has a diameter of 26 meters and was built entirely out of sandstone. This means it weighs over 12,000 tons (just the dome) and is considered the largest stone dome north of the Alps.
The shape of the bell, which gave the church the nickname "stone bell", was not included in the original plans of the builder George Bähr. It was only during the construction work, which lasted from 1726 to 1743, that he decided to deviate from the classic dome shape for reasons of stability.
In the foreground, another architectural attraction of Dresden is in the picture: the Augustus Bridge. I'll try to see if I can stage these again separately and as a central motif.
Na dann fangen wir mal damit an uns die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Altstadt von Dresden im Einzelnen etwas genauer anzuschauen.
Den Anfang macht unsere "Dicke", die berühmte Frauenkirche.
Woher diese wunderschöne evangelische Kirche diesen Spitznamen hat, der hier nicht beleidigend sondern liebevoll gemeint ist, könnt Ihr Euch bestimmt schon denken. Oder ?
Korrekt, den hat ihr diese enorme 24 Meter hohe Kuppel eingebracht. Diese hat im Übrigen einen Durchmesser von 26 Metern und wurde vollständig aus Sandstein gebaut. Dadurch kommt sie auf ein Gewicht (nur die Kuppel) von über 12.000 Tonnen und gilt als die größte steinerne Kuppel nördlich der Alpen.
Die Glockenform, die der Kirche auch den Beinamen "steinerne Glocke" eingebracht hat, war in der ursprünglichen Planung des Baumeisters George Bähr übrigens nicht vorgesehen. Erst während der Bauarbeiten, die von 1726-1743 andauerten, entschied er sich, aus Gründen der Stabilität von der klassischen Kuppelform abzuweichen.
Im Vordergrund ist, mit der Augustusbrücke, noch eine weitere architektonische Sehenswürdigkeit von Dresden im Bild. Ich werde mal versuchen, ob ich diese nochmal gesondert und als zentrales Motiv, in Szene gesetzt bekomme.

Getting to the location my first job was to check where the moon will rise and look for a position. From that position the scene in front of me was simply beautiful. The colour in the sky was enough, with the lowering sun hitting the breaking wave to the right with curlew rock in the centre giving balance, I think I had a photo. Using a Nisi polariser and a Lee hard 3 stop ND grad filter, all that's left is a 16:9 crop in post, simple.
Start small - these are the 'Small Isles' after all - and work up. Small perhaps and a bit 'out the way' (the Outer Hebrides) but very beautiful. They are a group of islands to the south of Skye in Scotland and provide a richness of delights to satisfy the largest of appetites!
I used a long exposure here to help bring out the cloud textures and movement in the water

Just before I start my running training I have some time to visit the Westerheide near Hilversum, of course I carry a camera with me....
Cricket finally starts. This was East Harlsey's second eleven's first game of the season, away to Danby CC.
East Harlsey were bowled out for 63 by an excellent Danby team, who them knocked the total off without losing a wicket. But the result didn't matter.
This morning again. Hard to believe how nice it was, as it's chucking it down now.
Been naughty and cloned a post out from the towpath here. Cursed it many a time!

Yesterday afternoon myself and my friend Carl drove up to Start Point Lighthouse near Kingsbridge in Devon. We were hoping for a decent sunset and it was looking pretty good when we got there. The lighthouse points east so normally people come here for sunrise shots. We had a lovely bit of side light from the afternoon sun which gave of a nice contrast with the shadows on the lower part of the coastline. This shot was taken at about 15:30 just after we arrived. I took quite a few photos here so I'll try not to spam you with too many of them!
I did get blood red moon in the end, just from my little back deck. I could see the eclipse happening when I started peeking out the upstairs bedroom widow at around 5AM. There wasn't much to see, for it was more like a dimly lit crescent moon, so I went back to bed for awhile. I peeked again at around 5:30, but it hadn't changed much.
My final peek, however, showed the moon at its fullest, and I thought that I could see a faint, red circle. I had gotten the camera and tripod ready the night before, so I went downstairs, out on the back deck, and took the photo.
While the eye almost always is better than the camera, one advantages of a camera is that you can increase the exposure. In this photo, the moon is brighter than how my eyes saw it. Mind you, the photo was very noisy, and I don't have one of those magic programs to reduce the noise while increasing the sharpness. However, Lightroom did an passable job, especially since all I did was to just step out of my door to get the image.

The morning starts with sun and rain/snow clouds. A lucky start of the year with the rainbow over the lake.
Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.
