Signaldalen, Northern Norway

      This is a shot from the fantastic evening of Sept.19th. in Signaldalen, Northern Norway. In the frame you can see the majestic mountain Otertinden at the left, silhouetted trees in front of some colors left from the sun setting in the horizon, and multicolored auroras entering the scenery very slowly and subtle, yet still so majestic mirroring herself in the river in front of me.

The Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales

      The Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales 

      Ηas just established itself as the ideal night-time destination, thanks to being officially named an International Dark Sky Reserve.
Τhe Brecon Beacons is a viewing platform for the Milky Way, major constellations and even meteor showers. There are dozens of easily accessible spots to enjoy the night sky from, including the atmospheric Llanthony Priory along the Offa’s Dyke Path (that runs along the border of England and Wales) and Sugar Loaf Mountain, close to the lovely market town of Abergavenny on the eastern side of the Park. By day the Park is a haven of green valleys, stunning mountain ranges and secret waterfalls to explore

Terrastro, Taiwan - beautiful place for tourism

      A dark Sun hung over Queensland, Australia on Wednesday morning during a much anticipated total solar eclipse. Storm clouds threatened to spoil the view along the northern coast, but minutes before totality the clouds parted. Streaming past the Moon's edge, the last direct rays of sunlight produced a gorgeous diamond ring effect in this scene from Ellis Beach between Cairns and Port Douglas. Winking out in a moment, the diamond didn't last forever though. The area was plunged into darkness for nearly 2 minutes as the Moon's shadow swept off shore toward Australia's Great Barrier Reef and out into the southern Pacific. Ranging from 1/4000 to 1/15 seconds long, five separate exposures were blended in the image to create a presentation similar to the breathtaking visual experience of the eclipse.

So beautiful place

   Are those UFOs near that mountain? No -- they are multilayered lenticular clouds. Moist air forced to flow upward around mountain tops can create lenticular clouds. Water droplets condense from moist air cooled below the dew point, and clouds are opaque groups of water droplets. Waves in the air that would normally be seen horizontally can then be seen vertically, by the different levels where clouds form. On some days the city of Seattle, Washington, USA, is treated to an unusual sky show when lenticular clouds form near Mt. Rainier, a large mountain that looms just under 100 kilometers southeast of the city. This image of a spectacular cluster of lenticular clouds was taken in 2008 December.
      Sometimes falling ice crystals make the atmosphere into a giant lens causing arcs and halos to appear around the Sun or Moon. This past Saturday night was just such a time near Madrid, Spain, where a winter sky displayed not only a bright Moon but as many as four rare lunar halos. The brightest object, near the top of the above image, is the Moon. Light from the Moon refracts through tumbling hexagonal ice crystals into a 22 degree halo seen surrounding the Moon. Elongating the 22 degree arc horizontally is a circumscribed halo caused by column ice crystals. More rare, some moonlight refracts through more distant tumbling ice crystals to form a (third) rainbow-like arc 46 degrees from the Moon and appearing here just above a picturesque winter landscape. Furthermore, part of a whole 46 degree circular halo is also visible, so that an extremely rare -- especially for the Moon -- quadruple halo was actually imaged. The snow-capped trees in the foreground line the road Puerto de Navacerrada in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range near Madrid. Far in the background is a famous winter skyscape that includes Sirius, the belt of Orion, and Betelgeuse all visible between the inner and outer arcs. Halos and arcs typically last for minutes to hours, so if you do see one there should be time to invite family, friends or neighbors to share your unusual lensed vista of the sky.

Östersund, Sweden - beautiful place for tourism

     Have you ever seen a sun pillar? When the air is cold and the Sun is rising or setting, falling ice crystals can reflect sunlight and create an unusual column of light. Ice sometimes forms flat, six-sided shaped crystals as it falls from high-level clouds. Air resistance causes these crystals to lie nearly flat much of the time as they flutter to the ground. Sunlight reflects off crystals that are properly aligned, creating the sun-pillar effect. In the above picture taken last week, a sun-pillar reflects light from a Sun setting over Östersund, Sweden.

M78 - beautiful place

   Explanation: M78 isn't really hiding in planet Earth's night sky. About 1,600 light-years away and nestled in the nebula rich constellation Orion, the large, bright, reflection nebula is well-known to telescopic skygazers. But this gorgeous image of M78 was selected as the winner of the Hidden Treasures 2010 astrophotography competition. Held by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the competition challenged amateur astronomers to process data from ESO's astronomical archive in search of cosmic gems. The winning entry shows off amazing details within bluish M78 (center) embraced in dark, dusty clouds, along with a smaller reflection nebula in the region, NGC 2071 (top). Yellowish and even more compact, the recently discovered, variable McNeil's Nebula is prominent in the scene below and right of center. Based on data from ESO's WFI camera and 2.2 meter telescope at La Silla, Chile, this image spans just over 0.5 degrees on the sky. That corresponds to 15 light-years at the estimated distance of M78.

Beautiful place for tourism

       North Island is a beautiful small granitic island (2.01 km²) of the Seychelles chain. It boasts pristine, virgin nature along with luxuries of a big hotel.

"Sugar Islands" - beautiful place for tourism







     Located east of the island of Madagascar Maskareny Islands, which consists of two relatively large islands, Reunion and Mauritius. Island Reunion not so great: length of 70 kilometers and a width of 50 km. Far away from the giant tortoise is like the ocean swimming. Island has two mountain massif, south and north, the river is deep and narrow gorges are still separated. Reunion ocean from the depth erected a giant extinct volcano, He inclined slopes of the sugar cane plantations on the fertile red lands, there are evergreen tropical forest in the mountains. island built in the sugar mills, which are taken to be vanilla. Vanilla, as we know plant. Has appeared snow white fragrant crystals, which are pound and small parks are placed. Vanillin paartod used in medicine, food and perfumery industry, the island is well grow bananas, Kinakini tree, Ilang - Ilangi, Ilang - Ilangis France are preparing for the flower fragrance, which is quite expensive. It should be noted that the French part of the island Reunion.
     Island of Mauritius ocean limitless space of the Emerald resembles. Coral Reef narrow passages and an experienced pilot without having to go through. Ship, the night of the fashion capital Portlui in the morning waiting for the city to enter, because the night where hurricanes are, and dozens of ships was crushed   and  history shore cast ashore. Reunion island of Mauritius, the sugar plantations are covered. Plantatsiata in some way through the corridor like a sugar-based economy is producing it. Mauritius is rich in vegetation. Here you will find: various species of palm, Michael and Javdzis trees, wood and even bread. Almost everywhere have never been to houses with gardens and ksvereb the edge of the road there is a banana, melon tree fall on gravel soils of the Papain.

Argentina - beautiful place for tourism

   It's amazing place for tourism. Of course there are so many beautiful place for tourism in Argentina but I want to tell one.
    Clouds on a summer night frame this sea and skyscape, recorded earlier this month near Buenos Aires, Argentina. But planet Earth's clouds are not the only clouds on the scene. Starry clouds and nebulae along the southern hemisphere's summer Milky Way arc above the horizon, including the dark Coal Sack near the Southern Cross and the tantalizing pinkish glow of the Carina Nebula. Both the Large (top center) and Small Magellanic Clouds are also in view, small galaxies in their own right and satellites of the Milky Way up to 200,000 light-years distant. Alpha star of the Carina constellation and second brightest star in Earth's night, Canopus shines above about 300 light-years away. Still glinting in sunlight at an altitude of 400 kilometers, the orbiting International Space Station traces a long streak through the single, 5 minute, star-tracking exposure. 

Tierra del Fuego National Park - beautiful place for tourism

        Tierra del Fuego National Park Located close to the city of Ushuaia, the national park stretches 60 kilometres north from the Beagle Channel along the Chilean border. Its 630 square kilometres include parts of the Fagnano and Roca lakes, the second of which opens into the Lapataia Bay on the southern coast, a popular point for treks. The park has dramatic scenery, with waterfalls, forests, mountains and glaciers. Parts of the park are closed to protect the environment. 

Beautiful place

         One of the natural wonders of planet Earth, the Grand Canyon in the American southwest stretches across this early evening skyscape. The digitally stacked sequence reveals the canyon's layers of sedimentary rock in bright moonlight. Exposed sedimentary rock layers range in age from about 200 million to 2 billion years old, a window to history on a geological timescale. A recent study has found evidence that the canyon itself may have been carved by erosion as much as 70 million years ago. With the camera fixed to a tripod while Earth rotates, each star above carves a graceful arc through the night sky. The concentric arcs are centered on the north celestial pole, the extension of Earth's rotation axis into space, presently near the bright star Polaris.
