A woman sits for a street portrait artist in a small Parisian square in Montmartre. The artist sketches her on a board while other portrait stands and drawings line the cobblestone area. Old Parisian buildings with shuttered windows surround the scene and autumn leaves scatter across the ground.

Black-and-white macro image showing spiderwebs on a plant, each strand covered in tiny dew droplets that form delicate geometric patterns against a soft, blurred background.

A small pale mushroom stands alone on a vibrant green moss mound in a shaded forest, softly lit from the side while the background fades into a dark, blurred woodland.

The Earth rotating below thousands of distant stars can make a person feel quite small and insignificant. For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #small

Two small yellow mushrooms emerging from damp ground, surrounded by dry grass and green sprouts, lit by soft natural light.

Wolf’s Cave Nebula is a peculiar target:
A reflection nebula at the tip of dark nebula. And this strange combo is even accompanied by an ancient planetary nebula and some supernova remnant filaments. All in one frame!

Wolf’s Cave Nebula (LDN 1217 / vdB 152) captured on two nights a couple of weeks ago πŸ˜ŠπŸ”­

This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar for a total integration time of about 8.5 hours. I combined OSC and mono Ha data for this image.

A vineyard covered in white protective sheets stretches across rolling hills under a vivid orange and blue sunset sky. In the distance, a plume of smoke rises vertically, contrasting with the peaceful landscape.
