Warping along….

While trying in vain to see the wreckage of Iridium #33 tonight, I made this image in hopes of capturing a flash of the injured satellite-but it was not to be.

You can see the Big Dipper on the left edge of the frame.  The bowl is upside down.  The Little Dipper is toward the right of the sucker hole in the clouds…..

I think this image looks like you’re zooming through clouds at warp speed.  Nikon D70 on tripod

Monsoon Season Monster Rainbow

The monsoon season has arrived and with it come monster rainbows!

In a previous post I mentioned that rainbows in the Land of Enchantment are technicolor, and they truly are amazing to behold.  This one was from this morning.

The sky had a peachy-golden glow and the rainbow…well it kinda speaks for itself.
