Earlier today, I used a #MacroLens to #photograph a subject close up. Now I switched to a #telephoto lens with a #FocalLength of 400 mm to capture objects effectively at #infinity.
You may have seen some of my #sunset #photographs before and, yes, it's the same #horizon and the same old #Sun but this one caught my eye because of its sharpness. There wasn't a cloud in the vicinity of the Sun when it was setting. You can see the bright, smoothly varying #yellow, #gold and #orange of the #sky contrasting the dark, sharp #silhouettes of the #trees in the #foreground. Also there's that mobile phone mast too.
#Cropping the image around our local #star, you see the #trees in what I'm calling #ExtremeSilhouette as the blinding light of the Sun seem to flow around solid wood and renders it invisible with only the ends of branches seemingly suspended in mid air disconnected to the trunk and giving the Sun the appearance of having spiky hair.

Navratri Day 1: Orange
Day one of the Navratri begins with a bright and vibrant colour, #orange. The colour signifies energy and happiness. On this day, the Hindu Goddess Mata Shailputri, the daughter of mountains also known as Parvati, Bhavani and Hemavati is worshipped.

About Shailputri
Mata Shailputri looks like this:
• Half Moon on the forehead
• Trident in right hand
• Lotus in left hand
• Mounted on Nandi, the bull
Shailaputri is a Sanskrit name, which means - the daughter of the mountain (Shaila = Mountain, Putri = Daughter). As the legend goes, Maa Durga had taken birth in the home of the Parvat Raj Himalaya (King of the Himalayas). Hence, this incarnation of hers got the name Shailputri. The name of the King of the Himalayas was Hemavana. Hence, she also got the name Hemavati.
In her previous birth, she was the consort of Shiva and daughter of Daksha. So, she also has names like Sati, Bhavani. Once, Daksha organized a big Yajna event. He didn’t invite Shiva. But, Sati couldn’t resist it and she arrived there. During the Yajna, Daksha insulted Shiva. She could not take it and jumped into the fire of Yajna. Later, she took birth in the home of Mountain Lord as Parvati (also Hemavati) and married Lord Shiva again.
As she rides on the bull, she is also known as Vrisharudha. It is a Sankrit term made of 2 words: Vrisha = bull and Arudha = to be placed upon.
Astrological Aspect
Goddess Shailputri governs the planet Moon in astrology. Worshiping her can eliminate all the bad effects of Moon.
Mantra
ॐ देवी शैलपुत्र्यै नमः॥
वन्दे वाञ्छितलाभाय चन्द्रार्धकृतशेखराम्।
वृषारुढां शूलधरां शैलपुत्रीं यशस्विनीम्॥
Stuti: या देवी सर्वभूतेषु माँ शैलपुत्री रूपेण संस्थिता। नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नम:॥
A little after #sunset and the #NewMoon at #dusk is approaching the #western #horizon, with #Earthshine illuminating the "dark" side. There's also #Venus there and, if you look very closely, you can also see #Saturn to the bottom right of the #planet. Add in a wisp of #cloud, an #aeroplane and its #contrail in the mid distance, #trees and a #house nearby and finish it off with a #sky turning from smoothly from deep #orange to a dark #blue and you end up with rather a nice collage. I used a #tripod to get a good #photograph here.
#Winter days are short and often dull and #grey and devoid of #colour. However, you can chance upon a bit of chromatic brilliance even if momentarily. Here was a patch of #sky in the #gloaming which added a bit of an #orange and #pink illumination to the end of the day and the beginning of one of the longest nights of the year.
#MyWork #MyPhoto #CCBYSA #DSLR #Nikon #D7000 #Twilight #Sunset
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.
#Navratri Day 7
October 2, 2022, Sunday
Navratri color of the day - #Orange
Worshipping Goddess Navdurga wearing Orange color on Sunday bestows the person with qualities such as warmth and exuberance. This color is full of positive energy and keeps the person upbeat.
On the day 7 of Navratri, devotees worship #Goddess #Kalaratri, the seventh form of Goddess Maa #Durga. Maa Kalaratri (sometimes spelled as Kaalratri) is believed to be the most ferocious avatar of #Navdurga who destroys ignorance and darkness that are spread around the universe. Kaal means who kills the demon, and Ratri means night, which forms the name ‘Kalaratri’. The seventh day of Navratri is celebrated as ‘Maha Saptami.’ Devotees believe that Maa Kalaratri helps overcome all obstacles in achieving success.
About Maa Kalaratri
Goddess Kalaratri has a dark complexion and she rides on a donkey. Her idol represents four hands. Her right hands are in Abhaya and Varada Mudra; she carries the sword and the deadly iron hook in her left hands. Although Goddess Kalaratri is believed to be the most ferocious form of Goddess Parvati, she blesses her devotees with Abhaya and Varada Mudras. Due to her auspicious power within, her ferocious form – Goddess Kalaratri is also referred to as Goddess Shubhankari.
Navratri Day 7: Date and Shubh Muhurat
The 7th day of Navratri falls on 2 October. The auspicious Brahma Muhurt will begin from 4:37 AM to 5:26 AM whereas the Amrit Kalam will appear from 7:50 PM to 9:20 PM. Vijaya Muhurat, on the other hand, is from 2:09 PM to 2:56 PM.
Navratri Day 7: Puja Vidhi
This day is considered very auspicious to perform the Navagraha Puja. Devotees perform the puja using perfumed water, dry fruits, Ganga jal, panchamrita, incense sticks, flowers, rice and bhog. Her favourite flower is night-blooming jasmine and is thus offered during the puja.
Navratri Day 7: #Mantra
Om Devi Kalaratryai Namah॥
Navratri Day 7: Stuti
#Ya #Devi Sarvabhuteshu Ma Kalaratri Rupena Samsthita।
Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah॥
Navratri Day 7: Bhog
Jaggery or sweets made with jaggery are offered as bhog to Maa Kaalratri on the 7th day of Navratri. The prasad is given to Brahmins as well along with Dakshina.
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.
Au début tu es déçu, parce que tu t'imaginais autre chose. Et si tu ne te donnes pas la peine de regarder au-delà de la façade, tu es déçu. Il faut faire un peu d'efforts parfois, pour découvrir ce qui est beau.
