No sun in the forecast today. Here's one I made many years ago. A baby quilt. The baby is now an adult.
#sun #quilt

An appliqué quilt hanging in a wall. The center is an appliqué sun with a face and blue eyes, over a patchwork of sunbeams radiating out. The frame is different tones of blue, with a yellow appliqué moon, comet, star, and planet in the corners.

Wow, after installing #solaris 2.5.1 on my #sun ultra 10, I can really see why people loved these old #Unix workstations.

It's so easy to develop some software on this!

It's called #solaris because sometimes you have to take your #sun workstation outside to recharge the solar batteries.

…and at night, when everything seems so dark you are starting to get crazy and hopeless, just remember: a new morning will come and a new sun will shine for you.

Have a great week, #BSDCafe

Have a great week, #Fediverse

Sunrise by the sea. Everything is orange, the small sun is rising over the sea. What I wanted to express is that sometimes the night can drive you crazy. You can have a disturbed sleep or can’t sleep at all. At night, all your problems seem huge. Sometimes the night is a life phase. But things will improve and a new sun will shine, a new inner light will come and things will sort out.

I stopped my car after seeing a herd of cows and strolled along the side of the road at sunset. I was singing to these cows to get them both to look at me, trying to optimally position myself along the barbed wire fence to get the sun just above them. I definitely exposed for that sun, and I was fine with having a silhouette shot. There was some suspended dust from a gravel county road that was running behind them, which added some nice atmosphere. - Randall/Armstrong County line, Texas, USA #Sky #Sunset #cows #cattle #ranching #Texas #TexasPanhandle #sun #clouds #nature #animals #livestock #prairie #scenicsnature #outdoors #fall #autumn #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5

Don’t look back in anger

Sometimes life is hard and we have to overcome nerve-racking situations. But never look back in anger, you will find some light even behind you.

#Photography #ThrowbackThursday #Mirror #sun #light #past #photo #photos #sunset #orange

This photo shows a car’s mirror. You can see the road, a part of the car and the sunset at the very end of the landscape. Colours are warm, mainly orange. I wanted to symbolise the past and, if you look back, you can find some light even if you didn’t expect to see it

Stars and nebulae, highly commended: Electric Threads by Shaoyu Zhang

This full-spectrum image of the Spaghetti nebula unveils the faint and elusive nature of this supernova remnant, hidden behind a vast cloud of dust that obstructs its emission light. To enhance its visual appeal, Shaoyu Zhang dedicated considerable time to intensifying the blue and green hues and achieving added depth.

Our sun, winner: Active Region of the Sun’s Chromosphere by James Sinclair

This photograph from Utah in the US shows the #chromosphere, the most picturesque part of the sun. Composed of hydrogen and helium plasma, it is manipulated by the intense and tangled magnetic fields of the sun. The chromosphere does not just change day by day, it changes second by second, which is why solar astrophotographers become obsessed with it.

As the sun doth sink 'tween tower and age-old walls,
The plaza basks in gentle, warm orange embrace.
In tranquil eve, the city waits, as nightfall calls,
Preparing for nocturnal symphony to grace.

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #SilentSunday #Sun #Sunset #SereneSunset #Ferrara #Italy

Sunset in an Ferrara's Piazza Trento e Trieste, where the 'kiss of the sun' bathes the cobbled path in a warm, golden light. Silhouettes of historic buildings and a classic watchtower stand against the glowing sky. Pedestrians become dark figures in the sun's embrace, casting long shadows that blend with the outlines of ancient architecture. The tranquil moment captures the romance of the day's end, as the sun's farewell touch graces the heart of the city with a fleeting, amber radiance.
