I took this photo during a full Moon night at the Huvafen Fushi Resort, North Malé atoll, Kaafu, Maldives. It was so bright that you could have easily read a newspaper that night!

I got rid of some human elements on the beach via Photoshop. Other than that, there has been no alteration. The original can be seen here.

What a wonderful blue sky. The field gives us the feeling of beeing free. Running through the field feeling nature. Shot some days ago in Rügen, Germany.

An exhaust cloud engulfs Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida as space shuttle Endeavour lifts off into the night sky.

Launch of the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station was at 4:14 a.m. EST. This was the second launch attempt for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-130 crew and the final scheduled space shuttle night launch. The first attempt on February 7, 2010 was scrubbed due to unfavorable weather.

The primary payload for the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station is the Tranquility node, a pressurized module that will provide additional room for crew members and many of the station's life support and environmental control systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is a cupola, a unique work area with six windows on its sides and one on top. The cupola resembles a circular bay window and will provide a vastly improved view of the station's exterior. The multi-directional view will allow the crew to monitor spacewalks and docking operations, as well as provide a spectacular view of Earth and other celestial objects. The module was built in Turin, Italy, by Thales Alenia Space for the European Space Agency.

Summer certainly flew by and while I occasionally wish we had just one more month to squeeze in, I realized that since my fingers are almost frozen, autumn definitely arrived! P.S. Meanwhile it's Winter!

The sunset was a little bit of a bummer but once in a while a touch of brilliant red kissed the clouds. Blink and it was gone. Maori Bay, Muriwai, West Auckland, New Zealand.

Afternoon photo-tour with my bike. What a lightning - it was just amazing to be there. Just for the photographer

Hunua Falls is a small waterfall located in the Hunua Ranges about an hour's drive southeast of Auckland. I used 10-stop ND filter for this shot to capture the moving clouds and get the water silky.

Enjoy it... The north coast of Taiwan !!
