I love the black lace at dusk!
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Me too!
Thanks, Geoff.
These sky scenes are beautiful, Tim. I also like the black lace trees. They remind me of that Ian Tyson song “Farewell to the North”.
I really like the bass line on that song. Thanks, Lavinia.
I don’t remember who plays bass on that song. Jerry Reed is playing the guitar lead you hear on the intro.
Bass players don’t get much billing.
I looked it up on https://www.discogs.com/release/13709012-Ian-Sylvia-Nashville and it indicates Bob Moore is the bass player
I looked up his Wiki. Bob Moore was a sessions bass player and orchestra leader who performed on over 17,000 recordings many with famous artists. His orchestra had the hit single “Mexico” that became a gold record in 1961. His playing stood out on Farewell to the North.
Here is one well-known one, and a woman at that.

She had quite a career. Even played on La Bamba.
Incredible shot of Jupiter! Black lace is a fitting description. Beautiful sky shots.
Thanks, Michele.

Lovely glows lurking in these ones.
An amazing shot of Jupiter…..thank you
You are welcome, Janet.
Love them all and that black lace is gorgeous!
Thanks, Nancy.
You do get some incredible morning and evening shots.
Thanks, Roberta. That’s pretty much all I do these days.
Pre and post and dusk and dawn …wonderful!
Thanks, Marina.
Love your bookends and I really love your black lace!
Blushing. Oh! you are talking about the trees. Thanks, Dale.
Blush away! You look so sexy! 😉
Especially like the black lace one, but they are all lovely, thanks, Tim!
I’d love to look through one of those giant telescopes at Jupiter. Have you ever done that?
Depends on how giant, giant is. I have a large telescope that I look at the planets trough. Thanks, Rob.
Oh wow, that must be so cool. Funny my wife and I were just looking at a telescope this evening! Might be fun to have. Do you find you look thought it very often or is it kind of one of those things you use a bunch at first then it just sits there?
Because of my cataracts, and a macular wrinkle in my left eye, I can’t see to focus it well right now, so I don’t use it much currently. It’s in its own observatory, so I don’t have to set it up and leave it setting until it gets to the outside temperature before I start using it, but it still takes time to align it and get it tracking properly. If you want to to astophotography, research it carefully. It can be extremely involved.
Ok, well thanks for the info.
What great skies you’ve captured, Tim.
Venus (when the rain stops) can me seen clearer than never recently here.
Nice to see Venus more clearly. Thanks, Inchie.
Thanks, Mate.
Venus and Black Lace. It doesn’t get much better, thanks Tim! xx
Thanks, Resa.
Those “black lace” shots always remind me of the veins display at the Bodies display – quite creepy.
Trees in winter have ectovasucularity. Thanks, Brian.
