    "In February in Yamagata, Japan, the strong winds and humidity produced ice monsters. The dusk where the clearance spread, the ice monsters lined up on the slope of the snowy mountain to bask in the sunset, shining beautifully, like the sunny day it was."

    I'm not a big fan of longer exposures in general, or application of filters or whatever, because I don't think it's 'pure' photography...but this is special alright.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    That stunning photo of Carrauntoohil posted earlier is from a photographer called Max Molloy. You can see more (and buy some) of his work here.

    Here's one of his photos: Mussenden Temple, Northern Ireland.

    This photo from the SPHERE instrument on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope is the first clear image of a planet caught in the act of formation, around the dwarf star PDS 70. The planet is clearly visible as a bright point to the right of the star at the center, which has been blacked out by the coronagraph mask used to block the blinding light of the star.
