A #terrestrial demonstration of why it's just about impossible to see the #Moon's surface and #stars simultaneously. Tonight the Moon and #Jupiter (a wandering star or #planet) are in #conjunction -- well just about. And here are two images taken with two different #exposure time.

The first is with a #ShutterSpeed of 1/6 s. The lit part of the Moon is a white featureless blob but, because it's a #misty #night, there's a wonderful #ice #halo which shows #colours from the #VisibleSpectrum. You can see Jupiter directly above.

Next, with a shutter speed of 1/100 s, the #surface of the Moon shows much more contrast but you can barely see Jupiter. Also, the #fog is also invisible.

Post #sunset, the sky cleared up somewhat and the #gold on the #horizon merged into the deep #blue of approaching night. (Apologies about the slightly blurred images as I didn't have time to set up my #tripod.)

The #fog had dissipated from the #neighbourhood but lingered as #mist on lower ground like a #translucent #shroud of #water #vapour.

How can you capture the essence of #fog in a photograph? I often associate it with dull #greys but when the #Sun's light is diffusing through it, it adds some #colour which attenuates quite smoothly into the familiar gloom. But I do also like the layering effect of the #foreground, #middleground and #background with objects disappearing into the #haze.

Looking #south-east, this #morning's #sunrise was filtered through #clouds which were illuminated #pink and #orange by the #Sun. The framing of this #photograph has a mix of natural and human-made features. There are some mysterious shapes silhouetted in the foreground and an #aeroplane leaves a #contrail in a clear portion of the #sky.

Tonight's #sunset was mostly #reds and #blues intermingled with #greys. #Black silhouettes make up most of the rest in this #photograph.

I printed out my #calendar for #2023. It has come out pretty well. If you're interested in a copy or just to see what the rest of it looks like, you can download the #PDF file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Eq7WeC7NVF8-MkDnXFW6ZMdHZQLwCuA
The theme is #sunsets and #sunrises. I posted a preview of the whole calendar nearly three weeks ago.

I've produced a #calendar for #2023 featuring some of the images that I've also posted here from time to time of #sunrises and #sunsets. You can download the full resolution #PDF file from the link below.

I present here some lower-resolution sample images.

The calendar itself was produced by and extracted from #Emacs which can output into #LaTeX.

Although this is the lean year for the #Apple #Tree in its #biennial cycle, it still produced about a dozen #fruit. Each one was much bigger than in years when the tree produces hundreds. The largest one on the left is about 370 g. I'll be consuming a half each day.

Two views of this #evening during #sunset. Unsettled #weather creates beautiful patterns of clouds in the #sky. Couple that with the dramatic lighting of the low #Sun gives some magnificent #photographs.

This second one is like a painting and you can see #Nature's brush strokes.

Last night was thundery and woke me up. Following on from that weather, the #Sunset today still shows quite a few #clouds and it has been changeable all day. Again, a nice bit of #LensFlare as the #Sun set.

The #grapes in the back #garden have ripened and are now ready to pick. I think that they derived a lot of benefit from the higher temperatures this summer.

This is one of two times in the year that the #Sun sets into the chimney of the house opposite. The #clouds form a nice #background to the dark #silhouetted #trees and #buildings in the foreground. Also the gold and yellow contrasts nicely with the blue #sky.

Two #photographs taken at #dusk. The first is just before #sunset with a #house and #trees in the #foreground in #silhouette. I like the #LensFlare in this #image.

The next was taken about a quarter of an hour later when the #Sun had passed over the #horizon. This illuminates to #clouds nicely. You can also see an #aeroplane and its short #contrail too.

This morning's #Moon, which is in its #WaningGibbous #phase, just before #Sunrise.

An interesting #sunset this #evening.

In #StructuralEngineering #Analysis, #InfluenceLines are used to depict the variation of quantity at a particular location as the location of a #Load or #Action is changed. In the #Animation shown, we can see the change in #BendingMoment in a #StaticallyDeterminate #Beam as a unit force moves from one end to the other. Both the #BendingMomentDiagram and the influence line for bending moment at the centre of the left-hand span, B, are shown. The influence line is often used as a tool to determine where the load should be placed to cause the most extreme cases of interest, say for #design purposes.

Today is the penultimate full day of #summer in the #northern #hemisphere if, like the majority of the population on the planet, you live in or east of #Europe or #Africa. The #equinox will occur a little after 02:00Z on Friday 23 September. With today's #sunset, I present two #photographs but each both in #greyscale (or #BlackAndWhite) and #colour.

I think the contrast is better in black and white #image and you can more clearly see the #birds flying about. The colour one is of course richer and has that extra dimension.

This wider shot shows a greater expanse of #sky with more variation in colour (only for the colour image, of course).

Earlier, I posted an #overcast #sky but the #clouds are clearing along the western #horizon. Here the #sunset is approaching but I would call this a #sunsink, as the #Sun emerges from its erstwhile #occlusion but the #Earth is about to rotate it over the edge into #night. The #orange light cast into this room was beautiful for a few moments.
