NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) experiences 12 "earthrises" every day, however LROC (short for LRO Camera) is almost always busy imaging the lunar surface so only rarely does an opportunity arise such that LROC can capture a view of Earth. On Feb. 1, 2014, LRO pitched forward while approaching the moon's north pole allowing the LROC Wide Angle Camera to capture Earth rising above Rozhdestvenskiy crater (112 miles, or 180 km, in diameter).

This was Sunday nights sunset. I was shooting pics of some sheep and when I turned to the right, this is what I saw, so I snapped it to share with you all. I hope you like it :)
This one is for the GOLDEN BEARS of the University of California, who beat Stanford at Big Game this weekend 34-28! GREAT game.
The Campanile, or Sather Tower, is the symbol of the University of California, often called the world's best public university. The tower stands 307 feet tall and houses 61 bells which are rung three times daily by a carillon choir. It was originally built in 1914.
This is a shot I've been planning since I moved to Berkeley this summer. The University had been repairing the scaffolded Campanile all fall, and it was finally unveiled last week.
Go Bears! Go Cal!
Canon 5D, Canon 100-400L, f/13, 6s, ISO 50. Two exposure blend to retain the detail in the water and the color in the sky.

This picture is dedicated to the one who illuminates my life just the way the moon illuminates a dark night.
This plant Weigela florida is part of the family of the Caprifoliaceae. Exploere: 2008 November 25; #448.
This was the scene at Fintown, deep in rural Donegal as dawn approached on Tuesday morning. Captured in the image is the most southern portion of the Milky Way visible from this latitude. The Galactic center bulging with bright nebulae and rich stars fields is creeping above the horizon. Just to the right of the Milky Way is one of the most beautiful stars in the sky. Antares, the heart of the Scorpio, is surrounded by star clusters and nebulae but only peaks above the horizon when view from Ireland. This is a real summery scene to go with the fabulous weather we have had of late. I also observed a few Lyid meteors while taking this image.

This was the view from the cab of my Bedford truck as I followed Ray's Land Rover - gingerly feeling its way along a flooded road.
On my last trans Africa trip in 1975, we had to detour around Zaire (Congo) because of ‘unrest’ in that country. This meant driving through the northern part of Central African Republic (not advisable now) and into southern Sudan (also not advisable now), crossing the Nile River at Juba and then heading south to make entry into northern Kenya.
If I remember, the ‘no man’s land’ towards Kenya was inundated after heavy rain and the bush was about a foot under water. Obviously a regular occurrence as some kind soul had planted sticks to mark the edge of the “road”. All part of the unpredictability of driving across Africa.

This was a Ram of a colony of about 12 Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. Photo shot in Alberta Canada. I thought I would change it up by making this photo Black and White.
This Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro 400 is seen on Friar Street on purple line 17 towards Wokingham Road. SN61BDO was new in September 2011 to the municipal company and wears branding for electric hybrid power route 17.
This pic of a lovely little oak was taken a couple of year's ago after a snowfall. Had some snow on Sunday morning and went for a drive out but haven't processed any shots yet. Maybe later.
This station is a delight, with a great vantage point from the nearby bridge. Even without a train it is a lovely view, but of course, I have photos of it with trains to follow in time! Once a stop on the Ruabon to Barmouth line, the station closed permanently in 1964 after flooding, it was due to close in 1965 anyway. The line was dormant for about thirty years until the Llangollen Railway, one of the country's best preserved railways, opened in 1996.
This photo was taken from the vantage ground of Saddle Point. Saddle Point used to be the closest point a "normal" vehicle could come to accessing Batad. However, extensions to the paved road allow vehicles to park as close as a 20-minute walk away from the village located in the valley. Saddle Point still provides a nice bird's eye view of the descending road and path, but not of the actual village itself (it's hidden behind the ridge from this photo's angle). You can, however, see a few buildings which mark the beginning of the touristy area of Batad in the bottom left quadrant of this image.
Batad is famous for its many levels of rice terraces, arguably even more impressive than those in Banaue about a one hour commute away. Not many years ago, Batad did not have any electricity, but even today, Batad still feels like a world away from the busy life in the city.

This is a series of postcards photographed by Victor Ross from Petawawa, Ontario during the late 1930's. These are postcards numbered R-22 & R-25 (the R stands for "Ross").
There is also a line of postcards "Victor Ross" made with the "V" - which stands for the Victor. Both the V's and the R's were in his folder that was produced around 1940.

This is the first of the east fjords you reach driving from the west. The picturesque fishing village Djúpivogur stands on a peninsula at the tip of the fjord. This was taken deep inside the bay, near the turn-off for route 939, a gravel road that climbs over the mountains and provides a short-cut for travellers heading north.

This is an image of the Nauset Lighthouse of Cape Cod at night with all the stars above.
This is the third different image I posted of this lighthouse taken that evening. The previous two were taken from the garage area in the back of the house. This one is completely different going up the steps and pathway in front of thee lighthouse. I had to post this perspective also as the sky was fantastic. To me anyway.
I was in awe of the beauty of the day! I had to run down the bridge when I saw this shot developing.
This B-25 is a member of the Missouri wing of the Commemorative Air Force, stationed in St. Charles, Missouri.
See more information on this plane: cafmo.org/content/our-aircraft/show-me/show-me.aspx
St. Charles has an annual event called a "Pumpkin Drop" to promote their airport. The "Pumpkin Drop" is an open house where, for a small fee, you can attempt to hit a target with pumpkins thrown from your own plane. During this event you can walk on to the airport grounds and get as close to any plane you like -or- go to just about any strategic spot on the grounds to take photos.
This is a photo of the B-25 flying very close to the ground. See more: greatrivers.smugmug.com/Events/Pumpkin-Drop/

This photo reveals a new born Collembola Sminthurinus alpinus! the adult is about 0.5mm, so this newborn should be 0.1mm maybe. Its antennas are being deployed!
It took a while.
I would have liked so much to see it hatch! Maybe someday :)

Cette photo nous dévoile un nouveau né Collembola Sminthurinus alpinus ! l'adulte fait environ 0.5mm, alors ce nouveau né doit faire 0.1mm peut-être . Ses antennes sont en train de se déployer !
Cela a pris un certain temps.
J'aurais tellement voulu le voir éclore ! Un jour peut-être :)
This is from Ultra Fractal. I downloaded some public fractals from them and this is one of them. I finished it in Photoshop.
This now retired Hulett Ore Remover stands in tribute to Cleveland's industrial heritage on the West Bank of the Flats entertainment district. It provides an interesting backdrop for the bright lights, loud music and beautiful people wearing as little clothing as they can get away with. The left to right, top to bottom orientation reminds me of a downward sloping graph, which to me represents the decline in heavy industry that has occurred here over the years. This image is the third installment in my one man, one lens Portrait of a City project.

Growing up (actually since High School's over - 3 years ago), I've been handling the Sunday afternoon crisis better. No more drama, no more stress about courses and homework I didn't do ... Now Sundays are all about taking care of me with this girly stuff that we, girls, love to do !
Nails, body creme, hair creme, trying new clothes, skin care... I love it
The book you see in the right side of the photo is "blonde attitude" which I borrowed to a friend. You can tell I was getting bored on holidays between two big food plates.
Hey, by the way, I had my hair cut yesterday ! I was pleased with the results :)
This pic was from my favourite series of the day. I was going for a Blade Runner / Fallen Angels mash up and for once was pretty happy with how they turned out.
Evolutionists are always searching for that elusive "missing link" to prove their belief/theory.
Interestingly, Evolutionists are yet to discover that link.
Is this, perhaps, the "missing link" that proves fungi evolved from coral.
It was discovered at the seaside in Noosa Heads National Park, Queensland.
This picture is taken in Bergen.
Below one of the old seaside building. This one is taken below Prefab boden.
Low tide, I have tried to bring out the colours. As I thought there was so much going on in this photo. Hope you like it too.
This is a very first image from a short series of images with magnificent autumn reflections in calm water.
This image represents and an alternative point of view on the World around us, on human perception, on amazing things around us that we can see only if we change a perspective...
This is my entry into @thefigment5 #fig5_chosen20 challenge on Instagram. The idea was to fill a scene with 20+ figures. I found it very difficult to compose a scene that didn’t come off as a group photo. After several setups I decided to focus on two main characters and let the other figures blend into the background.
I went with smaller figures. Most of the mecha/armored suits being 1/35 scale.
This shot is from summer 2013, taken during a lovely weekend trip to the Calgary Zoo.
Here you can see some of the kind and helpful Zoo staff feeding (and recording the occasion for posterity) a large group of Penguins, who were so cute and lovely and ever so excited to get their food!
Lighting conditions were not exactly the greatest, so, when I managed to catch the photog's flash in this photo, it really helped illuminate the scene!
Photos like these are such a nice reminder of warmer times! I really cannot wait for winter to be over, especially after that nasty bout of cold / flu I am still recovering from!
Hope you are all having a great week; only one more day til the weekend!
Cool!
I just found out that this got Explored at # 41 on March 6th 2014!
Thanks so much, all who helped it get there!
This is for those who asked me for a size comparison shot of my dolls.
* I added notes with their sizes.

I have to stop here, otherwise this will be worse than flower shots :)
