I was playing around with the color combos and came up with another color combination that I thought makes a nice variation from the first “Reach For The Stars.”

From my collection: / Wilderland ~ Alaska North Star Winter Scenics A brilliant golden winter sunset in late October 2007 reflects a warm amber glow on the snowmobile tracks, ice and snow covered frozen surface of Chena Lakes, Alaska North Star “One day the sun admitted, / I am just a shadow. / I wish I could show you / The Infinite Incandescence (Tej) That has cast my brilliant image!

The remaining direct unscattered light is dimmed but relatively enriched in reds and yellows. Absorption of specific green and blue wavelengths by ozone and water vapour molecules redden the light further. The sunset rays are sometimes reflected back and forth between clouds and the ground. All this goes to makes a spectacle seemingly painted with every colour and shade of the palette. Pillars are created by reflections from approximately horizontal crystal faces but the side faces of columns are inclined at all angles. The key is that the crystals have orderly orientations – they do not tumble. A ‘singly oriented column’ drifts with its long axis nearly horizontal and has two rotational freedoms. Its long axis can point in all azimuthal, NSEW, directions. The crystal adopts all rotational positions around the long axis.” A sun pillar is a vertical shaft of light extending upward or downward from the sun. Typically seen during sunrise or sunset, sun pillars form when sunlight reflects off the surfaces of falling ice crystals associated with thin, high-level clouds such as cirrostratus. The hexagonal plate-like ice crystals fall with a horizontal orientation, gently rocking from side to side as they fall. When the sun is low on the horizon, an area of brightness appears in the sky above (or below) the sun as sunlight is reflected off the surfaces of these tipped ice crystals. ~ Hyper Physics Atmospheric Optics

Taken at the Nambung National Park near the town of Cervantes, About 245 Km North of Perth. The Pinnacles desert is the main attraction of the Nambung national park. The Pinnacles are limestone formations ranging from small formations, right up to 3.5 meters tall and are a Iconic part of Western Australia. A Combination of light painting using a spotlight to illuminate the Pinnacles, and taking a series of 30 second exposures over 30 mins then stacked together using stacking software. EOS 500D.

The Double Cluster is the common name for open clusters NGC 884 and NGC 869, which are close together in the constellation Perseus. They are at distances of 7600 and 6800 light-years away, respectively, so they are close to one another in space as well. Image is a stack of 5 10-min expositions.
