Back from a few days staying at my favourite beach at Llangennith. Lovely to have some sunny weather and walks along the beach. There were some fabulous sunsets last week so I just had to take some photos - more to come!

Nobody expects the "Spanish Inquisition".

The Spanish Inquisition was a Catholic tribunal that operated in Spain and its colonies from 1478 for about three centuries. It was established by Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon.

"The Spanish Inquisition" is an episode and recurring segment in the British sketch comedy TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus, specifically series 2 episode 2 (first broadcast 22 September 1970), that satirises the Spanish Inquisition. The sketches are notable for the catchphrase, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!", which has been frequently quoted and become an Internet meme.

"TON SUR TON" or Tone on Tone is the theme for todays Smile on Saturday Group. May has been a month of birthdays so these golden balloons have managed to be useful for a while and are still well inflated. But they also tone in with the feature brick wall with beige and golden tones. A lensbaby photo.

Story:

Captured in the heart of the Jalapão region, this panoramic nightscape reveals the raw beauty of Brazil’s Cerrado under a pristine Bortle 1 sky. Dominating the scene is the luminous arch of the Milky Way, stretching from one horizon to the other, its core glowing with interstellar dust, emission nebulae, and countless stars. The reddish tones near the galactic center are enhanced by the use of a modified sensor, revealing prominent H-alpha regions like the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae.

To the right, a striking column of Zodiacal Light rises—sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust—perfectly aligned with the ecliptic. Subtle green and red hues of airglow add a surreal touch to the lower sky, interacting with the warm tones of the dunes and the reflecting waters of the meandering stream. Buriti palms and native vegetation complete the composition, grounding this celestial spectacle in the unique landscape of the Brazilian savanna.

This image is not a blend but a multi-frame panorama, precisely captured to preserve the spatial relationships of both the terrestrial and astronomical elements. A technical and artistic tribute to one of the darkest skies in South America.
