I loved this part of my trip, because the landscape was different. We listened to the radio as we drove down this magnificent road.

It was a dream, it's now achieved.

A high dynamic range (HDR) panorama of the Dresdner Hofkirche, the Residenzschloss and the Zwinger. It's a part of a 360-panorama that took me twelve hours to create.

This is one of my favorite spots to take photos in Seattle. I have a previous wallpaper titled Alki Beach Sunrise from 2013 that was taken from this same spot. This particular evening in July 2014 provided some of the best colors I've seen here.

I captured this a while back, but never submitted it because it is best viewed in a panoramic format, not 16x10. I finally decided to submit a cropped copy. It was created with three images. When I shot it I didn't really see the eye. But when I stitched the panorama it jumped out of the screen at me!

A 3-light-year-long pillar, bathed in the glow of light from hot, massive stars to the top of the image. Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from these stars are sculpting the pillar and causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of gas and dust can be seen flowing off the top of the structure.

Nestled inside this dense structure are fledgling stars. They cannot be seen in this image because they are hidden by a wall of gas and dust. Although the stars themselves are invisible, one of them is providing evidence of its existence. Thin puffs of material can be seen traveling to the left and to the right of a dark notch in the center of the pillar. The matter is part of a jet produced by a young star. Farther away, on the left, the jet is visible as a grouping of small, wispy clouds. A few small clouds are visible at a similar distance on the right side of the jet. Astronomers estimate that the jet is moving at speeds of up to 850,000 miles an hour. The jet's total length is about 10 light-years.

Composed of gas and dust, the pillar resides in a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina.

I love driving in the USA but I can't drive for more than five minutes without stopping to take pictures of these great landscapes.

5 exposure HDR. Taken from the new walkway in Chapala, Mexico. I was in Mexico last week for a one week vacation. The weather was colder than normal and it rained several days, but those clouds made for wonderful sunsets. Enjoy all! Thanks for voting!!!
