For the first 4 months of 2016 we have managed to celebrate 4 New years in 3 different countries. («our» New Year, Chinese, Indonesian and Nepali).
But the most vivid impression left celebration of Balinese New Year 1938 (or Nyepi - Balinese "Day of Silence") on the top of Batur volcano. This year the celebration fell on March 9, exactly on the day when it was possible to observe extremely rare phenomenon in the sky - a total Solar eclipse. To all other the trajectory of movement of the Solar eclipse took place through the International Date Line. That means that eclipse began on Wednesday, March 9 and ended on Tuesday! March 8.
In general, everything described here is pretty tough to understand without Nolan! ))
So I will not bother you with all my impressions, thoughts and tales about this, because all that wouldn't fit in a full-length novel.
A beautiful female Chalk-hill Blue from a few years back basking in some early morning summer sun. I've posted this as it's not remotely like that up here at the moment. It's tipping down. After the hecticness of the summer here we get 2 weeks off and I'm hearing rumours of an Indian summer. Let's hope so and maybe I can get onto some Adonis Blues in Dorset.
This was from another glorious morning at Hatch Hill in Somerset. I was lucky enough to live 15 minutes drive from this great site. I found this female roosting and lay in the damp meadow waiting for the sun to rise. As the sun came through she opened her wings and the higher f-stop gave an interesting yet still blurred background. For a few years I was up there a couple of times a week through the summer. It never got boring.

No matter how bad your day is, things will always get better.
The sun starts rising over the Ortigas business district skyline in the Philippines.
I thought this was the last I'd see of the sun for a while so I went for a walk with my boys down to the river to make the most of it. I'm praying they have the forecast wrong!
There were some overly friendly swans trying to eat my camera strap when I took this. I was more worried about my camera falling into the river than being pecked to death!

the first light today for you my friends......
la prima luce di oggi....
Come ti sembra il sole del mattino
Dopo una notte lunga e insonne?
Quante stelle daresti alla luna?
Riesci a vedere quelle stelle da dove sei?
Illuminano quelle perse e quelle più solitarie
Quelle che non ce la fanno
Hai sempre desiderato di avere
Più della vita stessa
Ma ora non ne hai più voglia
In un messaggio al menestrello
Il mondo non ti ama più
Dimmi, come ti sembra il sole del mattino?
Bloccato dentro gli anni dell'arcobaleno
Potevi anche accadere a me
Perchè io sono stato molto vicino a dove sei tu
Ho guidato verso posti che hai visto
Sembra tutto così familiare
Come se fossero stati mandati per ucciderti
Non serve un astronauta
Per fluttuare nello spazio
Si tratta solo di un pensiero
Il mattino porta con sè il mistero
La sera lo trasforma in storia
Dimmi, come ti sembra il sole del mattino?
E l’ubriacone del paese
Sai che è tristemente passato a miglior vita
E' un peccato che non io
Non sapessi nemmeno il suo nome
Mi chiedo se si siede lì ogni mattina
A guardare l’alba
Cosa ne pensi del sole del mattino?
E' troppo pesante per me
E tutto ciò che volevo era il mondo
Se tu eri la stella che entrava nel sole
Non sprecare il tuo tempo
Perchè non c’è una linea d’arrivo
E tu non vedi nulla,
Nè l’amore, nè altro,
La notte può portare via
L'uomo che c'è in te
Una sensazione di meraviglia così tanto attesa
Il mattino porta con sè il mistero
La sera lo trasforma in storia
Chi sono io per giudicare il sole del mattino?

The Sun on 1st August 2015

Sun setting over the north coast of Scotland. Old shot taken from the Orkney Ferry, off the North Coast of mainland Scotland.
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star comprising about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. It is a near-perfect sphere, with an oblateness estimated at about 9 millionths,which means that its polar diameter differs from its equatorial diameter by only 10 km. As the Sun consists of a plasma and is not solid, it rotates faster at its equator than at its poles. This behavior is known as differential rotation, and is caused by convection in the Sun and the movement of mass, due to steep temperature gradients from the core outwards. This mass carries a portion of the Sun’s counter-clockwise angular momentum, as viewed from the ecliptic north pole, thus redistributing the angular velocity. The period of this actual rotation is approximately 25.6 days at the equator and 33.5 days at the poles. However, due to our constantly changing vantage point from the Earth as it orbits the Sun, the apparent rotation of the star at its equator is about 28 days. The centrifugal effect of this slow rotation is 18 million times weaker than the surface gravity at the Sun's equator. The tidal effect of the planets is even weaker, and does not significantly affect the shape of the Sun
Took this picture on a walk around Emerald Lake (British Columbia, Canada). The atmosphere there is unique…

I asked Sun: Would you like to be cold? No! It's work for nothing! I lasts for, hurts rays and people are knocking and say fucking cold! It makes me sick! I wrote an e-mail to God. Let there not, it sucks!
Zeptal jsem se Slunce: ChceÅ¡ aby byla zima? Ne! Je to práce na hovno! Já svÃtÃm, bolà mÄ› paprsky a lidi se klepou a Å™Ãkajà zasraná zima! To mÄ› nebavÃ! Už jsem psalo mail Bohu. ZruÅ¡me to. Je to vážnÄ› na hovno!
Sun going down behind the Welsh hills, waited as long as l could for the cloud to clear but it didn't.
