Hickman Bridge, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
Hickman Bridge is a natural arch, same as Delicate and Landscape Arches in Arches National Park.
It's considered to be a natural bridge because water is thought to have been a major agent in the creation of its opening.
Of course, there's a specialized group (The Natural Arch and Bridge Society) that was formed to study and help preserve natural arches & bridges. Their site is here. I suspect they're a busy group in Utah.
Hickman Bridge is impressive... It's about 125' high & 133' long. As the photo shows, it's also massive. I couldn't find a measurement of its thickness, but it's visually comparable to the three arches I saw later in Natural Bridges National Monument (and clearly thicker than one of those). It's reached via a one-mile hiking trail that gains about 400' in elevation.
First let me say, this widefield perspective does ZERO justice to the actual totality seen visually on scene. The actual totally eclipsed Sun dominates the sky - and one's rapt gaze - in a way not evidenced by this puny depiction here. So OK, just so you know that.
I went to Solartown in Madras, OR to catch the eclipse, opting for the "Daytripper" overnight parking, mainly because I hadn't made any other viable plan. And it was, literally, a farm turned into a parking lot with some 6000 vehicles (an estimate I heard) packed together. When you're a landscape photographer, a parking lot is NOT where you want to be shooting. So before heading into Solartown early Sunday morning, I scouted around and found this site adorned with several gnarly trees on a back road amidst otherwise flat and featureless farmland. As for Solartown, I sweated it out all day Sunday and slept there Sunday night but couldn't wait to escape the throngs, which I did before 6 a.m. on eclipse day (after waiting in line behind 25 people to use the porta-potty at 5:30 a.m! Yeah, TMI.).
For this shot, I took an exposure every three minutes with a solar filter on a zoom lens set at 35mm. Then, of course, I took off the filter during totality and shot a couple sets of five different auto-bracketed exposures covering a wide range of shutter speeds, to make sure I got one or more with proper exposure (since it's hard to know the proper exposure for a totally eclipsed Sun in advance). The shot of the totally eclipsed Sun with the foreground was a 2-second exposure. Then I layered in the 25 other Sun shots (1/500th second each) in Photoshop with a quick stacking method. I opted not to do the "other side" of the sequence after totality, because to do that I would have had to use a shorter focal length, maybe 24mm or 28mm, to fit it all in, and the solar disks would have been even tinier.
I'm amazed I even had the presence of mind to work the camera during totality at all. Because when I glanced up and caught the surreal sight of the first diamond ring, it took a team of wild horses, as it were, to tear my gaze away and get to work! What a gorgeous, spine tingling spectacle.
And well worth the nearly 7-hour drive from Madras back to Bend. Which normally takes less than 1 hour.
Visually, this composition reminds me of a magic wand. It's a fitting metaphor, perhaps, because a total eclipse certainly does cast a wondrous spell on all who witness it.
This wide view of our Moon’s landscape spans the region from 37° North to the lunar North Pole. It is full of visually and geologically interesting features. Let’s take a tour…
Let’s start with the crater at lower right, with the distinct outer rampart, the lava-filled crater floor, and two craters entirely enclosed within the crater floor. This is Cassini crater. The larger of the two craters inside the main basin is Cassini A. Notice that the Cassini A crater has a heart shape in this lighting (Andrew Planck describes it as a tear drop). Also note the relatively bright patch in the mountains above Cassini. This is a feature known as Cassini K. A meteor impact here dug a 3.47 km wide crater here (not resolved in this photo), and the light material is likely the subsurface material excavated and ejected by the impact. It must be relatively recent, as it has not had time to be weathered and darkened by long exposure to solar radiation.
The arc of mountains above Cassini are the Montes Alpes. These mountains are part of the outer basin ring surrounding Mare Imbrium, the vast lava plain filling the lower center and left of this photo. The mountains disappear in the darkness at the lunar terminator, just beyond the large circular walled plain of Plato crater. A keen eye might detect three or four craterlets in Plato’s interior. Less acuity is needed to detect the meandering crack extending from Plato’s eastern rim, Rimae Plato, running eastward and northward into a second lava sea known as Mare Frigoris which marks the outer limits of the Montes Alpes. To the east of Plato Crater a broad slash can be seen cutting through the Montes Alpes. This is the Alpine Valley, a graben feature, or “stretch mark” in the Moon’s crust, a place where the Moon’s surface stretched apart, and the ground surface fell into the resultant gap. Another close look reveals another thin crack running the length of the Alpine Valley. Detecting this crack and the craterlets in Plato are the two of the aspects of this photo which please me. Not that they are great achievements in imaging, but they are like trophies for me.
To the left of Cassini Crater a lonely mountain rises 2.3 kilometers above the floor of Mare Imbrium. This is Mons Piton. It may be part of a mostly buried inner ring of mountains surrounding the Imbrium Basin. Other isolated peaks and the larger mountain complexes below Plato (the Montes Teneriffe) also seem to be part of this inner ring. Below Mons Piton, near the bottom of the image right of center is an oddly shaped hill. Once, this feature was called Piton Gamma (not very interesting, that), but the name was dropped from the official lunar nomenclature in 1973 and now the feature is officially nameless. Recently the lunar and astrophotographer Robert Reeves has championed the unofficial designation “Thor’s Hammer”. Even the quickest of looks will convince a viewer of the aptness of this name.
Returning to the North, consider Mare Frigoris. This long, narrow lunar sea spans most of the northern portion of the visible face of the Moon. That makes it sort of an oddball among the great lunar seas. The others appear roughly circular and fill basins on the Moon. Current thought regards Mare Frigoris as a relic of a great fissuring episode in the history of the Moon’s nearside crust. Staggering volumes of lava flowed from these rifts covering much of the nearside face of the Moon, creating not only Mare Frigoris, but also the vast Oceanus Procellarum.
North of Mare Frigoris, above Plato crater, is an irregular ring of hills. Its western extent touches the lunar terminator. It encloses a jumbled and block-strewn basin that is barely distinguishable among the myriad craters of the lunar north. As an Alabamian, this crater stands out to me for its name: this is Birmingham. East of Birmingham a larger diamond-shaped plain is seen. This is W. Bond crater. The crater sitting astride its southwestern face is Timaeus, and the smaller crater within the eastern point of the diamond is W.Bond B. Crossing the center of the diamond roughly horizontally is a hairline crack marking an officially unnamed rille, otherwise widely known as Rima W.Bond. Imaging this is another of the small personal “woo-hoo!”s of this photograph.
Above W. Bond lies a mid-sized walled-plain crater known as Barrow crater. Barrow Crater abuts on its northeastern side the larger multi-lobed lava plain called Meton (it always resembles a clover to me). On its northwestern side Barrow touches another large lava plain called Goldschmidt. Note the impressive shadows cast by the higher portions of Goldschmidt’s eastern rim. Goldschmidt’s western rim has been destroyed by a younger crater; this one has a well-defined rampart on its eastern side which intrudes onto Goldschmidt’s basin, and its high western rampart peaks brightly reflect the light of the rising sun. This is Anaxagoras crater, one of the most recent generation of lunar craters. It retains a system of bright rays. These rays are best seen when the Sun strikes the Moon more directly, but they are evident in this photo as the lighter streaks of material sprayed across Meton, Barrow and W. Bond craters.
Lastly, we skip to the top of the Moon, to the point where the illuminated limb of the Moon meets the lunar terminator. Here lunar features are very difficult to sort out due to extreme foreshortening effects. Broad round craters are visible only as thin ovals. The very topmost trace of illuminated ridges seen here are actually high points of features from the far side of the Moon. They are seen because the Moon, on day this photo was taken, was leaning with its North Pole slightly towards the Earth. In that uppermost corner of the Moon, one of those long thin ellipses can be seen emerging from the dark beyond the terminator and extending eastward, its northernmost rim illuminated just inside those high points from the other side. This ellipse is the crater Peary. Its interior is almost constantly hidden from the light of the Sun. Over its northernmost rim, just below the point where the Moon’s northern limb touches the lunar terminator, lies the Moon’s North Pole. It is amidst the perpetually gloomy voids carved into this polar region, like similar regions at the Moon’s South Pole, that humankind dreams of establishing a permanent base. NASA, like the space programs of other countries, has begun recruiting the class of astronauts that will be tasked with this remarkable feat of exploration. Within our lifetimes. Within this decade.

"The Washington population of the Black Oystercatcher is estimated to be roughly 400 birds. This number is probably not significantly different from the historical population, as these birds require fairly specialized habitat, which is not evenly distributed. Oystercatchers are highly vulnerable to human disturbance, oil spills, and pollution of the intertidal zone. Numbers of Black Oystercatchers on the outer coast may be higher than in the past, in part due to decreased human disturbance resulting from lighthouse automation. Numbers in inland areas, however, have declined in response to increased human activity. The Northern Pacific Coast Regional Shorebird Management Plan has identified the Black Oystercatcher as a regional species of high concern."
"The Black Oystercatcher is restricted in its range, never straying far from shores, in particular favoring rocky shorelines. It has been suggested that this bird is seen mostly on coastal stretches which have some quieter embayments, such as jetty protected areas. It forages in the intertidal zone, feeding on marine invertebrates, particularly molluscs such as mussels, limpets and chitons. It will also take crabs, isopods and barnacles. It hunts through the intertidal area, searching for food visually, often so close to the water's edge it has to fly up to avoid crashing surf. It uses its strong bill to dislodge food and pry shells open."

Dragonflies not only are visually beautiful, they’re also agile fliers and helpful insect eaters. To get to know these Odonata order insects, you should examine the various parts of their anatomy, including not only the head, thorax and abdomen -- which make up the three main sections of the adult dragonfly’s body -- but the smaller components such as the stigma. Even though the adult dragonfly’s stigma, also known as pterostigma, may seem like an insignificant dot on their wings, it’s actually a vital component to the dragonfly’s anatomy.
Where to Find It
To examine the stigma’s anatomy, you have to know where to look. You can’t find the stigma on an immature dragonfly, as the stigma is hidden. You will find an adult dragonfly’s stigma on the leading edge of each wing, toward the wingtip. If you are facing the dragonfly head-on while its wings are positioned vertically, the stigma would be pointed at you and near the upper tip of each wing.
A Word on Wings
Before a dragonfly reaches adulthood, the veins in the wings are flat, hollow tubes, and the wings are compact and tightly folded inside the immature naiad, also called a nymph. This is because an immature dragonfly lives in the water until it goes airborne after transformation. When the nymph transforms into an adult dragonfly, the wings unfold as the tubes fill with hemolymph, the dragonfly’s equivalent of blood. The stigma is filled with this hemolymph and it resembles a blood blister. This blister is in the shape of a solid rectangle
Size and Color
The actual size and color of the stigma varies between dragonfly species, although the general location remains the same. The stigma is of a contrasting color to the rest of the wing, which makes it easier for you to spot. For instance, it may appear black against its clear wings. Some stigmas are long, thin rectangles, while others are shorter rectangles.
What It Does
The stigma is a multipurpose component of a dragonfly’s body. The stigma can be used to signal a mate or rival. It can act as a tiny weight that affects the wings’ vibrations, as the Minnesota Odonata Survey Project points out. The stigma works with the nodus, the midway notch area on the center leading edge of the wing where several large veins intersect, to increase flexibility and prevent fatigue fractures of the wings.
Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
“The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.”
The visually monotonous Alexander's (renamed as Vidzemes, popularly called Matīsa) Market was opened in 1902. With one of the pavilions for the meat trade, which was the first and largest indoor market hall in Riga at that time, and the other hall for the sale of other products, the Alexander Market became the first market in the city with well-equipped pavilions at that time. The Alexander Market was the only market that allowed the sale of fresh meat all year round. The architect of the Alexander Market complex was the second city architect of Riga, Reinhold Schmaeling (1840-1917).

I was with my CWC friends at the Little Flower convent in chennai last year for their sports day. This school is for the Hearing and Visually Impaired.
Those children were unable to see through their eyes or hear through their ears but the did everything through their heart :) It was so inspiring to see these children participate in all the sports activities which the normal children would do. They had the willingness to compete, the enthusiasm, the happiness and everything more than the normal children.
They were definitely one step ahead!
I pray god to give them a great life!
This is NOT an effect done in Photoshop. I used the "zoom burst" technique to capture the sense of speed.
Well… here is a seven-image panorama that will probably get very little attention here on Flickr… it’s not as visually exciting as a sunrise (or sunset) Vertorama… and this particular subject has been shot so many times that it’s absolutely impossible to find an original composition!!
This is “Morant’s Curve”… made famous by Nicholas Morant… who was employed by the Canadian Pacific Railways as their “special photographer”. Over his 50 year career, Nicholas took many thousands of photos from all over Canada… not just of trains… but of anything else in Canadian Pacific's corporate field of endeavour. One of his favourite locations for taking photographs was the S-curve on the CPR main line just east of Lake Louise. He took so many photos at this site that it soon became known to railroaders on the CPR as “Morant's Curve”.
Our small group arrived at this location shortly after lunch… hoping to get some decent photos of the train as it passed. There was only one guy at the viewpoint when we arrived… a dedicated “train-spotter” from the UK… who admitted that he’d been waiting for at least 45 minutes without seeing any trains passing by! I chatted to him for a few minutes while I was setting up my camera and tripod… but he’d had enough of waiting… and pretty soon he gave up and drove off.
The one thing that is inevitable when a group of photographers are gathered around their tripods and taking photos of something… is that every single passing car will stop and look at what you are all shooting! Within ten minutes of our stopping here… we had attracted a fairly decent crowd… everyone with their cameras out… and hoping that we knew something that they didn’t. The most popular question that I was asked that day was… “do you know what time the next train will arrive?” LOL… we didn’t have a clue… we were trying to be as patient as possible… while sweating copiously in the hot midday sun (I can’t really speak for everyone else… but I was sweating like a pig)!!
I was really in panorama-mode that day… I’d only just figured out exactly how to assemble and calibrate my new (Panosaurus) panoramic head… and I was ready to finally put it to the test! But then it suddenly dawned on me… duh… how will I manage to take a panorama of a moving train?? Unless I manage to capture the entire train in one single frame… I’d never catch it in the same position in successive frames… so my pano would be ruined! This called for a change of plan… so I waited for some nice light… snapped the seven images for this pano (without the train)… and then packed away my pano-head again. So now I was focused on shooting this as a Vertorama… waiting for the train to enter the foreground for the first image… and then capturing the mountains and sky afterwards as the second image. After waiting for well over an hour... we finally heard the sound of an approaching train! We all jumped to attention, switched on our cameras… and waited for the perfect moment! I managed to get at least twenty shots of the train as it passed by… and then I quickly recomposed and shot the sky image too. Yeah… all that waiting paid off in the end… we finally got the shots that we were hoping to get!!
However… when I returned home from Canada and started processing my photos… I noticed that the light in the panorama that I’d shot earlier… looked very similar to the light that we had while the train was passing! I also noticed that the focal length of my panorama shots was exactly the same focal length that I’d used for my Vertorama images! That made me wonder whether it would be possible for me to cut the train out from the Vertorama image and paste it into the stitched panorama? As you can see… my plan worked a treat… everything fitted together perfectly!!
There are plenty of details in this panorama... I can really recommend viewing it large.

Castlerigg Stone Circle is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain, and is the most visited stone circle in Cumbria. Every year thousands of people visit it to look, photograph, draw and wonder why and when and by whom it was built. The stone circle is on the level top of a low hill with views across to Skiddaw, Blencathra and Lonscale Fell.
I was hoping for a glorious morning, but i had lots of clouds around 5am in the morning and for a moment i thought that luck was not on my side. But seeing first light coming from the clouds i thought about doing long exposures, putting more drama in the fast moving clouds with this as result.
Enjoy...

The monolith that visually best sums up Cape Kiwanda and Pacific City. It’s iconic, but it shouldn’t be confused with the Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach to the north.
Often, as you approach Pacific City on 101 just before the junction to town, you can see this rock in the distance, appearing as if it floats in the air.
One story has it that the original name of the rock was Chief Kiawanda Rock, named after the head of the local tribe - actually called the Nestugga (as opposed to Nestucca, which stuck to various area landmarks).

Total exposure time: 24 minutes.
Visually with the unaided eye, or in binoculars or a telescope, the distinctively-shaped North America Nebula (left), and the Pelican Nebula just to its right, appear as faint white clouds in the middle of our Milky Way galaxy. Long exposures with a digital camera sensor reveal the red glow of hydrogen gas, however, especially with Nikon's new red sensitive D810a camera.
This evening in the park was foggy and steamy, with dew settling quickly on exposed lens and telescope parts. As well, the Moon set very late (after 01.30 in the morning), so I had only two hours to capture all of the frames for this image, and three others that I wanted to get, before morning twilight started to appear in the eastern sky. This image, showing more than 34,000 stars, is the result.

www.youtube.com/channel/UCkNYo1uLNy67xCfeyc1h-ZQ?sub_conf... The purpose of creating and assigning 5G networks
Previous generation mobile communication networks had the following purposes and functionality:
1G: Analog Voice Service
2G: Voice over digital network services, low speed data services (GPRS, EDGE)
3G: High-speed data services (HSPA), with the ability to transmit voice over IP, mobile Internet access MBB (Mobile Broadband).
4G: LTE, LTE-A Mobile Broadband MBB, Voice over Voice (VoLTE)
5G networks greatly expand the limited functionality of previous generation mobile networks. The main functional features of 5G networks are as follows:
EMBB Advanced Mobile Broadband (enhanced MBB)
Ultra-Low Latency Reliable Communication (ULLRC) Massive IoT / IIoT, mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication)
Based on these three generalized types of functionality, the whole variety of services and capabilities of IMT2020 (5G) networks is built, the most characteristic of which are shown in the figure below:
The variety of functional capabilities of IMT2020 / 5G networks. Source: Emerging Trends in 5G / IMT2020, 2016, ITU
Gigabytes per second. 5G networks can significantly increase the speed of data transmission through various radio access technologies (RAT), and by using the new 5G NR radio frequency spectra (New Radio). The user gets almost unlimited bandwidth, both for home use of various services, and for the purposes of enterprises (Immersive Telepresence, Industrial IoT, etc.)
Smart House. A wide range of different Internet of Things (IoT) services will be available for the Smart Home and Smart Building solutions: video surveillance, control and automation of household appliances, security systems management, content storage, climate control, etc.
Smart city. The Smart City solution is a horizontal and vertical scaling of the functionality and range of Smart Home services. Main services of Smart City: Safe City, e-Government e-Government, e-Health e-Health, e-Education e-Education, e-Banking e-banking, Smart Meters utilities electronic collection, Smart Grid smart grids, etc. .
New 4K / 8K video services: Volumetric video, ultra-high definition (UHD) screen, presence effect option.
Work in the cloud. The service makes it possible not only to store data in a cloud storage and retrieve it from there, but also to use application programs that work directly from the cloud. Moreover, with the possibility of them but also use applications that work directly from the cloud. Moreover, with the possibility of them
use on any device and from any location. In addition, it is possible to use APIs through which cloud service providers can provide their services to subscribers of a 5G network operator.
Augmented and virtual reality (AR / VR). The virtual reality service VR (Virtual Reality) immerses a person in another world, influencing his senses, especially his vision (VR glasses). Augmented Reality AR (Augmented Reality) service combines a real environment for a user with virtual objects. These services are suitable not only for entertainment, games, virtual communication in the "telepresence" mode, but can also significantly improve the learning process, when students using VR glasses can, for example, visually see the internal structure of a person at a lecture on anatomy, a master in the workshop can study the assembly order of a complex unit, etc.
Industrial Automation. The 5G network, coupled with the technology of the Internet of things IoT, with the help of industrial sensors IIoT (Industrial Internet of things), as well as with the help of artificial intelligence, AI (AI, Artificial Intelligence) can significantly increase the degree of automation of production. At the same time, it becomes possible in real time to analyze large volumes of heterogeneous data (Big Data) both based on the findings (insights) and using machine and deep learning (Machine learning, Deep learning).
Business Critical Applications These applications may include, for example, electronic medicine (e-Health), emergency communications (Mission Critical Communication), tactile Internet (Tactile Internet) and others.
Unmanned vehicles (Driverless Vehicles). Unmanned transport can act as part of the Smart City service, however, it can be provided on its own platform. It includes not only unmanned vehicles (driverless cars), but also unmanned tractors for “smart agriculture” (Smart Agriculture), unmanned trains for the metro and suburban railways, drones and other types of public and special transport. In addition, on the 5G platform, the implementation of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) driver assistance systems is possible.
It should be emphasized that the figure above shows only some of the services and solutions of the 5G platform. Unlike the networks of previous generations, the range of services of which was strictly limited and somewhat expanded in 4G, the services of the 5G platform are synergistic and scalable, and are not limited to once defined functionality. In fact, 5G plays the role of a platform for the development of new services and DevOps applications, when new functions are created by developers (Development) in close coordination with the teams who are responsible for their implementation and operation (Operation).
In general, we can say that the 5G network incorporates not only mobile, but also fixed communication services, as well as high-speed Internet access with low latency and, in addition, specialized and corporate networks for vertical industries.
5G / IMT2020 platform versatility
Due to the fifth generation networks, it will also be possible to improve the quality of the use of existing services where large volumes of traffic are involved.
Theodore Sizer, vice president of wireless technology at Bell Labs, noted that there will be a wide variety of devices running on 5G networks. Smartphones and tablets will not go anywhere, but besides them, a whole “zoo” of various devices will appear on the network, including CCTV cameras, weather sensors, sensors of “smart” electric networks, “smart” houses and cars.
Ericsson said that 5G will usher in the long-term development of the Networked Society:
South Korean operator SK Telecom, one of the first companies to demonstrate 5G technology in action, at the initial stage of deployment of new generation networks focuses on ordinary users as the main consumers of services, company representatives told TAdviser in February 2016. Thanks to 5G, users can watch 3D-TV without glasses, download in seconds or watch UltraHD video online at high speed.
It will also be possible to use virtual and augmented reality applications at a new level, according to SK Telecom. For example, include elements of augmented reality in the educational process, creating virtual museums and models of the universe in the classrooms.
In the projects of “smart cities” 5G will allow real-time transmission of information from a much larger number of sensors at various objects. Qualcomm's senior director of product management for mobile technology, Sanjeev Athalye, notes that it will be possible to deploy a thousand sensors instead of a hundred, for servicing which there will be a sufficiently smaller number of base stations than with existing networks. These can be, for example, sensors for monitoring the state of housing and communal services objects, sensors for “smart lighting” or sound sensors installed for safety and order in the city. In the latter case, the sensors can detect suspicious or too loud sounds, and this information will be automatically transmitted to law enforcement.
New services using 5G can also be implemented in medicine. For example, to organize remote monitoring of patients. The doctor will be able to quickly receive information from special sensors and monitor the condition of patients around the clock.
Thanks to its very low latency, 5G will also open up more possibilities for remote operations using the robot. Such a service is especially relevant for small settlements where there are no surgeons in the field: controlling the manipulations of the robot, the operation can be performed by a specialist located in a completely different place. Due to 5G, such a service can be deployed in wireless networks.
The low data latency that next-generation networks can provide is also important for the deployment of smart power networks. Using sensors will allow you to instantly detect damage on the power line and block the spread of the consequences of damage further along the line. Thus, damage will affect fewer consumers of electricity.
In large manufacturing companies, in retail, logistics, 5G will make it possible to use more industrial robots that perform various functions instead of people and drones. The latter are already used in some industries, but are most often managed using Wi-Fi networks. 5G will allow you to cover a greater distance than Wi-Fi networks, and due to the low latency - increase the stability of such systems. For example, Amazon has a project to deploy a system for delivering goods using drones.
An example of services for which 5G will have an advantage is urban surveillance systems. 5G will help simplify their deployment and use. Now traffic from thousands of cameras in cities is mainly transmitted via fixed networks. To deploy such an infrastructure is not an easy task, since it is necessary to lay many wires. With 5G, you can receive terabytes of high-quality video
permissions without the use of wires.
Another example is a vehicle monitoring service in companies. Qualcomm’s Sanjeev Atali believes that with the advent of a new generation of networks, operators who provide such a service will be able to reduce its cost. This will be possible due to the fact that the cost of one 5G base station will be lower than the cost of stations for existing networks, and also due to the fact that one base station can simultaneously serve more devices, respectively, less base stations will be required for the service.

Visually, I was pleased at how the lines of the most prominent iceberg followed the coastline from this point of view.
This burst of colour shows a fascinating discovery: a galaxy cluster acting as a cosmic furnace. The cluster is heating the material within to hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius – well over 25 times hotter than the core of the Sun.
The cluster, named HSC J023336-053022 (XLSSC 105), lies four billion light-years from Earth and was independently discovered by both ESA’s space-based XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory and NAOJ’s Subaru optical-infrared telescope in Hawaii, USA. XMM-Newton detected the cluster via the international XXL survey, which is exploring two large areas of space outside our galaxy.
Galaxies are not distributed randomly throughout the Universe, and instead exist within groups and larger clusters. These aggregations can be mammoth and sometimes contain many thousands of individual galaxies in a single structure, all embedded in clumps of invisible dark matter. Different sub-groups of galaxies can also form within a single cluster, as shown here by the two blue-purple circles on either side of centre. These circles mark the locations of two sub-clusters within HSC J023336-053022 which are slowly moving towards and colliding with one another, ‘shock heating’ gas to intense temperatures in the process.
To create this image, three different international teams of astronomers explored observations of the cluster across the electromagnetic spectrum, in order to isolate and pinpoint different aspects of this region of space. These aspects are shown here in different colours. Individual galaxies within the cluster show up in orange, and dark matter – which maps the location of the two sub-clusters – in blue (via optical observations from Subaru). Hot, dense gas shows up in green (X-ray from XMM-Newton), while hot, thin, high-pressure gas shows up in red (radio from the Green Bank Telescope in Virginia, USA). This gas is something known as the ‘intracluster medium’, which permeates galaxy clusters and fills the space between galaxies.
The addition of radio observations makes this image special, as many studies of collisions within or between galaxy clusters have not captured this shock-heating process – which is represented visually in the region where green changes to red – in radio. This process releases immense amounts of energy and heats already scorching gas to temperatures tens of times hotter. Before shock heating, the gas sits at around 40 million degrees Celsius – already some 2.7 times hotter than the core of the Sun.

An antique tractor in Scandia draws my attention late day, cornered in a red barn, facing away from the music like a disciplined child that bent teacher's rules. It's reverse usefulness blocked by cardboard, it's design contrary to modern machinery efficiencies. Cob webs, dust, faded paint, the scuttle of mice and spiders for company. There are stories here.
The resounding sound of laugher and excitement competes from a distance, hollers of approval. A ferris wheel of country fortune, or one that allows a closer gaze skyward. I'm reminded of creative circles, bringing us back to imagined experiences while visually going over the top once again.
[Scandia is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada within the County of Newell.[2] It is located 2 kilometres West of Highway 36, approximately 34 kilometres Southwest of BROOKS]
A relaxing and visually attractive way to walk from a car park down to the Seafront.
Dappled light coming through the trees, the sound of the adjoining stream and a well maintained path.
Filey is between Scarborough and Bridlington on the East Coast of Yorkshire but is more refined and relaxing than either of those two.
This ravine would be called a Chine if down south or on the Isle of Wight.
My original intention when learning to colurise B&W images was to try to represent lost liveries, or to try to provide something where colour photos were rare or non-existent. However, I've erred from this intention on many an occasion when something I like takes my fancy!
This official PMT view of their New Daimler Roadliner coach C1097 is a case in point. In my defence, it is depicted at a more unusual angle which shows off all the grilles etc used to vent the rear mounted Cummins V6.200. In fact, in my humble opinion, its a glorious looking machine and one which carries the red and cream livery well.
Plaxton Panorama 1 bodied KVT 197E, delivered in 1967, was seen photographed here at Trentham Gardens, a location often used by the company for publicity shots. Elsewhere in my photostream there's 16mm silent colour cine film of this occasion when events were being recorded which included a new Alexander 'Y Type' bodied AEC Reliance .. . a type which served the company with far greater aplomb.
Castlerigg Stone Circle, Lake District, Cumbria
Some backgound information:
Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain. The plateau of Chestnut Hill, on which the monument stands, forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells. From within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6m at its widest and 29.5m at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain.
Current thinking has linked Castlerigg with the Neolithic Langdale axe industry in the nearby Langdale fells, with the circle acting as a meeting place where these axes were traded or exchanged. Ritually deposited stone axes are frequently found all over Britain, suggesting that their use went far beyond their mundane practical capabilities. Because of this, any exchange or trading of stone axes may not have been possible without first taking part in a ritual or ceremony. Castlerigg stone circle could have been the space in which these rituals and ceremonies were enacted.
34/52 Choose your favourite poem and try to represent a line of it visually.
I don't have a favorite poem, but I do love music and the lyrics to some of my favorite songs are close to my heart. One of my favourites is Crush, by the Dave Matthews Band. When I saw Glen, sitting at the edge of lake, taking in the beauty of our surroundings, I was filled with so much love for him. It was his idea to drive to the mountains after work and have dinner beside the lake in the mountains. It was a romantic evening, just the two of us. The lyrics are written from a man to a woman, but the sentiment is the same either way.
"Crush"
Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'till morning comes
Watch the sunrise to fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'till we get drunk
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
I won't spill a drop I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is it real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
I will treat you sweetly
Adore you I mean you crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know how I love you
Come on
Lady
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment the more I love you
Crush me
Come on
So much you have given love
That I would give you back again and again
Meaning I'll hold you
And please let me always
This visually frenetic kitchen is another Armstrong linoleum ad. Published in 1948 in American Home magazine, it offers some of the design excesses that typify the Post WWII period. Still, even with too much rapid eye movement, there are lots of useful ideas for organizing 21st century kitchens.
entrance to a visually sumptuous staircase at the art gallery of ontario. i remember the day the gehry unveiled the prototypes to Toronto; I was in the audience for the media release. Frank explained how significant the building had been in his own life, and that his contribution to it was meant make the journey of investigating art represented in its new structure and gallery layouts.
The stair feature was both the first sign of this that would greet you as you enter the proscenium and "look up at this crazy stairway".
Years later, from this view in particular it makes give the sense of leaving one's existing horizons for new ideas or adventures.
Not visually spectacular, but after three months travelling in South America, with its fair share of stray dogs, this place was quite a surprise.
It's a park in Central Lima that is a sanctuary for stray cats. Volunteers feed the cats and they can be adopted. They all seem pretty happy with the deal.
I wanted to travel to Morocco by boat in order to experiment visually the continent change from Europa to Africa. Only on land travelling make the passenger really feel the distance and the cultural evolution all along the way. Since I had previously visited Sevilla, Malaga was for me an obvious starting point for a short Morocco trip. Then I would go to gibraltar, Tarifa and take the boat for Tangier, my first Morocco city. The trip lasted 3 weeks until I reach south of Atlas Mountain Range, just before the desert.
The conclusion of my travel is that I could not recognize any Moroccan people anymore since I could realize that from north to south, and depending of the mountain side landscape, geography and people are totally different.
Or should I say Super Duper Moon?
It just means that the moon as at perigee in it's slightly elliptical orbit. That means it is slightly larger visually than it has appeared for the last 70 years. It looks the same to me...:) I enjoyed seeing this full moon in a cloudless sky.

All things considered, it's not too shabby for a bridge camera...:)
I really should use a tripod so I could use a slower shutter speed and a lower ISO. That would reduce the pixel to pixel noise which varies as the the inverse square root of the number of photons captured on a pixel. The more photons, the lower the noise.
This pixel-to-pixel noise limited shot was hand held. I was leaning backwards against a low fence for support since my balance is poor. I tried to hold my breath. I supported the far end of the lens barrel with my left hand. I held the camera body and pressed the shutter button with my right hand,

As I recall, my old Panasonic Lumix FZ70 had better IS (image stabilization.) I'm sorry I had to replace it when it malfunctioned.

Suffolk Sportscars is dedicated to production of the visually exact reproduction of the legendary Jaguar SS100. It is a true and pure Jaguar, fully recognised and accepted by all the Jaguar car clubs around the world.
The Jaguar SS100 was originally designed in 1935 by William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar Cars Limited. You will find a history of the Jaguar SS100 within this section.
The Jaguar SS100 is one of the most important cars ever produced in England. It marked the high point of English sports car design before the start of World War 2. When the leading motoring writers of Europe selected their choice of the 100 most important cars of the 20th century, they included the legendary Jaguar SS100. As only 314 were ever made this is certainly an achievement. Every serious book about sports cars includes articles and photographs of the Jaguar SS100. This landmark car acted as the mainspring for the development of the remarkable lineage of post war Jaguar sports cars.
We have now made well over 200 of our Suffolk SS100 Jaguar reproductions and are well on our way to achieving my ambition to make as many as William Lyons. We hope that this website will give you the confidence in our products and that you may take the opportunity to come and visit us at Woodbridge. I can tell you that even after 20 years of making the SS100, I still get a smile and goosebumps whenever I'm ready to go for a drive. The overall shape and stying of the car is evocative of the golden age of great pre-war sports cars.
Now we combine all the superb visuality of the car with modern brakes, steering, power and safety to meet the demand of today's driver.
Sadly not a patch on previous times I've been. Visually less of everything across the board. It's clear reenactors, stall holders, vintage vehicles etc., have given it a miss in advance.
The event organisers [Pike and Shot] say 80% of the groups let them down. Cant blame the groups for the mass exodus. You're the organisers, they have supported this event for over 10 years. The fault is on your doorstep.
I was watching and listening to the fella firing up the Rolls Royce engine. He was furious to put it mildly (as seen in my video). He received a call to start it earlier than scheduled. He had to! He did with reluctance and was subsequently drowning out the singers nearby. When he challenged the staff about it they were not so sympathetic. Awful for him. To his credit he apologised to the small crowd of what happened that he was instructed to start the engine early. So for me, this was a live example of the organisers causing unrest as the event unfolded.
Having been to several 1940s events this year, this was the bottom of the pile. When I spoke with quite a few visitors and stall holders etc., they were expecting so much more, as in the past.
Singer: Miss Trixie Holiday
The other singer, not in this video, was Ricky Hunter. Decided not to include him in my video because he spent way too much time looking at his phone, playlist, drinking water, while singing, rather than entertain the crowd. He was a last minute guest singer anyway. He had not been invited for over 5 years.
Entrance fee was £10! (reduced to £4 very late on into the second day). No concessions. No signposting to the event. No map or itinerary. Limited parking. A bare bones event. Purely the fault of the organisers and Rufford Abbey Estate collectively.
Without Prejudice.
Visually the most stunning of Lothian's 30 open-top buses is 249 - SJ66LKO in its advert for Edinburgh's landmarks.
I do lots of kinds of photography that never show up on Flickr. There is actually quite a narrow range of types of photography that are generally appreciated here. Specialty or specialized stuff is not well received, So be it.
From time to time -- not so often -- I like to just show different things. This is a Quaker Oats switch engine, given a bit of processing treatment. Some like this sort of thing, many don't. I do.
Wolves can communicate visually through a wide variety of expressions and moods ranging from subtle signals, such as a slight shift in weight, to more obvious ones, such as rolling on their backs to indicate complete submission.[82]
* Dominance – A dominant wolf stands stiff legged and tall. The ears are erect and forward, and the hackles bristle slightly. Often the tail is held vertically and curled toward the back. This display asserts the wolf's rank to others in the pack. A dominant wolf may stare at a submissive one, pin it to the ground, "ride up" on its shoulders, or even stand on its hind legs.
* Submission (active) – During active submission, the entire body is lowered, and the lips and ears are drawn back. Sometimes active submission is accompanied by muzzle licking, or the rapid thrusting out of the tongue and lowering of the hindquarters. The tail is placed down, or halfway or fully between the legs, and the muzzle often points up to the more dominant animal. The back may be partly arched as the submissive wolf humbles itself to its superior; a more arched back and more tucked tail indicate a greater level of submission.
* Submission (passive) – Passive submission is more intense than active submission. The wolf rolls on its back and exposes its vulnerable throat and underside. The paws are drawn into the body. This posture is often accompanied by whimpering.
* Anger – An angry wolf's ears are erect, and its fur bristles. The lips may curl up or pull back, and the incisors are displayed. The wolf may also arch its back, lash out, or snarl.
* Fear – A frightened wolf attempts to make itself look small and less conspicuous; the ears flatten against the head, and the tail may be tucked between the legs, as with a submissive wolf. There may also be whimpering or barks of fear, and the wolf may arch its back.
* Defensive – A defensive wolf flattens its ears against its head.
* Aggression – An aggressive wolf snarls and its fur bristles. The wolf may crouch, ready to attack if necessary.
* Suspicion – Pulling back of the ears shows a wolf is suspicious. The wolf also narrows its eyes. The tail of a wolf that senses danger points straight out, parallel to the ground.
* Relaxation – A relaxed wolf's tail points straight down, and the wolf may rest sphinx-like or on its side. The wolf may also wag its tail. The further down the tail droops, the more relaxed the wolf is.
* Tension – An aroused wolf's tail points straight out, and the wolf may crouch as if ready to spring.
* Happiness – As dogs do, a wolf may wag its tail if in a joyful mood. The tongue may roll out of the mouth.
* Hunting – A wolf that is hunting is tensed, and therefore the tail is horizontal and straight.
* Playfulness – A playful wolf holds its tail high and wags it. The wolf may frolic and dance around, or bow by placing the front of its body down to the ground, while holding the rear high, sometimes wagged. This resembles the playful behavior of domestic dogs.
A visually striking collection of interstellar gas and dust is the focus of this week's Hubble Picture of the Week. Named RCW 7, the nebula is located just over 5300 light-years from Earth in the constellation Puppis.
Nebulae are areas of space that are rich in the raw material needed to form new stars. Under the influence of gravity, parts of these molecular clouds collapse until they coalesce into protostars, surrounded by spinning discs of leftover gas and dust. In the case of RCW 7, the protostars forming here are particularly massive, giving off strongly ionising radiation and fierce stellar winds that have transformed it into what is known as a H II region.
H II regions are filled with hydrogen ions — where H I refers to a normal hydrogen atom, H II is hydrogen that has lost its electron. The ultraviolet radiation from the massive protostars excites the hydrogen, causing it to emit light and giving this nebula its soft pinkish glow. Here Hubble is studying a particular massive protostellar binary named IRAS 07299-1651, still in its glowing cocoon of gas in the curling clouds towards the top of the nebula. To expose this star and its siblings, this image was captured using the Wide Field Camera 3 in near-infrared light. The massive protostars here are brightest in ultraviolet light, but they emit plenty of infrared light which can pass through much of the gas and dust around them and be seen by Hubble. Many of the other, larger-looking stars in this image are not part of the nebula, but sit between it and our Solar System.
The creation of an H II region marks the beginning of the end for a molecular cloud. Over only a few million years, the radiation and winds from the massive stars gradually disperse the gas — even more so as the most massive stars come to the end of their lives in supernova explosions. Only a fraction of the gas will be incorporated into new stars in this nebula, with the rest being spread throughout the galaxy to eventually form new molecular clouds.
[Image Description: Clouds of gas and dust with many stars. The clouds form a flat blue background towards the bottom, and become more thick and smoky towards the top. They are lit on one side by stars in the nebula. A thick arc of gas and dust reaches around from the top, where it is brightly lit by many stars in and around it, to the bottom where it is dark and obscuring. Other large stars lie between the clouds and the viewer.]

"The Washington population of the Black Oystercatcher is estimated to be roughly 400 birds. This number is probably not significantly different from the historical population, as these birds require fairly specialized habitat, which is not evenly distributed. Oystercatchers are highly vulnerable to human disturbance, oil spills, and pollution of the intertidal zone. Numbers of Black Oystercatchers on the outer coast may be higher than in the past, in part due to decreased human disturbance resulting from lighthouse automation. Numbers in inland areas, however, have declined in response to increased human activity. The Northern Pacific Coast Regional Shorebird Management Plan has identified the Black Oystercatcher as a regional species of high concern."
"The Black Oystercatcher is restricted in its range, never straying far from shores, in particular favoring rocky shorelines. It has been suggested that this bird is seen mostly on coastal stretches which have some quieter embayments, such as jetty protected areas. It forages in the intertidal zone, feeding on marine invertebrates, particularly molluscs such as mussels, limpets and chitons. It will also take crabs, isopods and barnacles. It hunts through the intertidal area, searching for food visually, often so close to the water's edge it has to fly up to avoid crashing surf. It uses its strong bill to dislodge food and pry shells open."
As visually complicated as the ABANDONED CADILLAC photo might appear, it really was a fairly simple setup, right on my kitchen table.

I've had that bridge model for some time and wanted to use it in a different way.
After I placed it on the "road surface" the whole scene fell into place because the piers of the structure seemed to make a stronger statement than the iron works.
After that decision, It was a just a question of what era to represent.
When lighting the set, it was immediately clear that a dramatic over head source was the way to go. The pattern of the girders falling on the automobiles defined the story.
An interesting aspect of that lighting was it created an odd flattening of the background; there was no sense depth, even though the backdrop was over 3 feet away.
