Daniel, Michael, Ruth, Hans, so many lovely images above! Your photos, even the most subtle of them, transport like magic carpet rides.
Virtual VacationBeautiful Buffalo, Ruth! I believe there’s room up there for all creatures, from…
Dragon, to…Dragonfly, to…Elephant and Starry-Eyed Stork…and more—including the Mythical Unicorn that appeared on the CAS Gallery July 14th! A rare and lucky sighting, Hans!
A savory stew, Ruth! And I agree about these reminder of the sea, the source and soul of splendors above.
Like Sea Froth
Ah! That is so beautiful, Laurence. Thank you for posting the link. There’s another photo of the comet over Stonehenge (and further links) on their main website: https://apod.nasa.gov
So funny, Hans, and cleverly spotted! Let us hope this short tale about a long tail ends with a dragon pup who is just as playful as that little pooch. Otherwise, he could indeed be playing with fire!
Playful Long Tailed Dragon Pup’Tis fun to see such great variation in these streaks across the sky. Sometimes it appears that all it takes is a single thread to keep a cloud from wandering off.
Minimally TetheredWow, Hans, what a fantastic sighting! Love to see that playful pair chasing each other across the heavenly seas. But who would have thought fun-loving dragons could create such a skyful of celestial dust? Had to get out that special vacuum tool and chase after them.
Sky Duster Vacuum AttachmentNote: the original photo (below) from which the image above was cropped had a different story to tell—more like a swan landing. But sometimes it’s just fun to see what other tales might be told, given a twist and a boost of contrast.
Wow! Fantastic images, Hans, Ruth, Michael! Calm, cool, and delighted by all the above.
Textural TouchGreat grays in both #182 & #183, Michael. And a positively powerful image in Lots Of Energy, Hans!
Friday FibrillationThis image reminds me of how the earth welcomes a nourishing rain, especially when gentle breezes blow.
WOW!! Thank you, Lawrence! Seeing these wonders added a great brightness my day. The second link you cited, offering a fantastic close-up of Red Sprites, is especially exciting. Indeed, one might guess this was some amazing creature from the deep sea and be astonished to learn otherwise. As below, so above?
Ah, yes, that makes sense, thank you, Hans. And agreed, ’tis best to be over-cautious with these dazzling displays. Once noticed, I try to aim the camera without looking directly at the area again, and just crop the photo later. A bit of a hit-or-miss approach, but better than risking the eye that still sees fairly well!
A clever and funny follow-up, Hans. Your puppy watcher really looks as if he’s pressing down on the blinds to get a good view. Maybe this is what he sees…?
Moon Catcher
Such beautiful images from everyone above! Thank you all for sharing such colorful celestial bookends to the day. Timing makes it rare for me to catch these delights, but here is one from the archives, the last of the sun having slipped silently below a dark blanket of sea.
Thank you for kind words, Hans. And if that is just the Tale Of The Dog, I can only imagine what the rest of that puppy might have looked like. What a wonder! And I cannot choose a favorite from your duo above, each one having its own special appeal. Magic moments there.
In the photo below, I’d never seen a color display quite like this before—an almost Saturn-like ring with a faint echo of it below. Have you an idea what might have caused this display?
