Cloud iridescence in Valencia this morning! I've never seen this before. #valencia #clouds #metereology #iridescence #cloudiridescence #photography

Oh, hello Valencia! #photography #eastcoastkin #abstract #art #achitecture #spain #valencia

Just a quick smartphone shot due to not having space for the camera, but i have to say, Berlin is looking incredible. A big change from when I was there last, early 2000s. #Berlin #photography #reichstag #bundestag

This has been a battle! I took the data (270 x 2s exposures) on the 21st and it has taken until today to battle with Siril and Photoshop to get it acceptable. I'm very pleased with the result! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #astrophotography #comet #cometlemmon #lemmon

Need to probe the #astrophysics hive mind. I'm a hobbyist with a reasonable base understanding of things. I am doing a talk for my astronomy society in Jan and need a topic I can tackle. Done T Corona Borealis and General Relativity in past. Ideas? @cosmicrami.com @chrislintott.bsky.social

I rarely do studio work - I much prefer being outdoors, but when a project calls for "something blue", I have to crack out the lights and the lightbox. It's not the best photo, I'm well aware. But it certainly fits the #blueskymonday brief! Have a good week all. #photography

Rather fortunate this evening to live close enough to Crewkerne to be able to go and hear @chrislintott.bsky.social speak at #cadas Thanks for signing my son's book(and correcting it!!) Here's to asteroids hitting the moon!

Been a busy week, but was delightful to get a break from it at St Mary's Lighthouse near Whitley Bay. For just a few short minutes the light was perfect. #lighthouse #sunset #evening #coast #ukcoast

Don't think I'll be seeing the #lunareclipse in Wakefield tonight.

Although the sky was clear, there was a lot of haze on the horizon from wildfires and a myst/fog over the pon dthe led to some interesting lighting and color conditions when I spotted this green heron this morning... #photography #birdphotography #birds #naturephotography

And because my previous photo was rather tenuous for the Jet Black link, here's a photo I was rather "choughed" to capture on the Lizard in Cornwall a few years ago. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJetBlack

I suppose you can't get much blacker than space, although as this photo shows, there's a heck of a lot of "not black" in our neighbourhood! This is the area around Polaris, the North Star. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJetBlack

Very lucky to be at #PorlockMarsh in #Somerset at high tide and sunset on Saturday. The salt marsh floods when the tides are particularly high and sometimes that coincides with sunset or sunrise. Gorgeous. #PorlockMarshes #Exmoor #ExmoorNationalPark #Sunset #photography @exmoornp.bsky.social

Maybe not internationally renowned or iconic, but this tidal salt marsh on old farmland in Somerset is very iconic in these parts. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforIconic #porlock #porlockmarsh #photography #somerset #exmoor #exmoornationalpark

Tonight's not quite full moon rising over Canary Wharf, London. Not bad considering that's shot through a dirty window of the Premier Inn! #moon #moonrise #London #canarywharf #moonhour #themoonhour

Softly swaying, the silvery cygnet slices serenely through shimmering shallows, scattering sunlight as it sails. #iPhotography #photography #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAForAliteration #ArtChallenges #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited

A muddle-minded mini moorhen, meekly meandering the mossy margins, most miffed at the mere mention of moisture. #WeekAForAlliteration #AlphabetChallenge
