Virtual Travelling: Snowy Park Benches

Virtual Travelling: Snowy Park Benches

This beautiful image of Saturn and its rings looks more like an artist’s creation than a real image, but in fact, the image is a composite (layered image) made from 165 images taken by the wide-angle camera on the Cassini spacecraft over nearly three hours on September 15, 2006.  The pale blue dot of earth can be faintly perceived through the outermost rings.

BFTP: Io, Saturnalia!

By tigtog on December 16, 2012

For those of us who like the December Solstice holiday season to last as long as possible, starting the celebrations tomorrow for Saturnalia is a top-notch idea.

Blogiversary! and hoydens carrying an axe!

By tigtog on September 11, 2012

Fortuitously, I was reorganising my images folder and came across this idea I had ages ago, and today I felt it was rather symbolic of the last 6 years of blogging.

Cloudwatch: Iridescence over Ethiopia

Cloudwatch: Iridescence over Ethiopia

By tigtog on August 29, 2011

I’ve seen many clouds with faint iridescence before, and even a few where the play of colours was remarkably clear, but never anything quite as vivid as this!

A “pictmotion” slideshow of some shots I took on yesterday’s walk – one peacefully wading spoonbill was interrupted by the arrival of another, and then the fight was on!

Today in old photos

By tigtog on May 15, 2011

We watched a doco about the wildlife of Iguaçu Falls on ABC1, and it brought back memories of our own honeymoon 20 years ago where we spent some time in South America.
