Thick, slate-gray clouds press low over Hampstead’s undulating hills, their edges catching flecks of silver light. Constable’s brushwork sharpens the contrast between laboring figures and the vast, shifting sky—does the weight of the clouds mirror the burden of the land?

Saw that "Constable and Turner" (title?) was showing at the movies yesterday.
And set up to see it today.
But yesterday turns out to have been the last day.

Post-event reframing.
Something a little different from the aurora shots recently. I popped in to London's National Gallery last week with my Leica M240 in hand, mounted with the Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 II lens.
Having been using auto focus for a while, I've missed that hands on full manual focus way of shooting with a rangefinder.
This shot turned out okay (even if I do say so myself LOL).

Kepler-806 b
Here is the today's weather for Kepler-806 b, located about 12,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus! 🌠️🔭 As I'm typing this, the sun on Kepler-806 is shining brightly with a surface temperature of around 5,300 Kelvin (9,800°F), making it an ideal spot for any extraterrestrial beings to soak up some rays ☀️. The atmospheric pressure is about 100 times higher than what we experience on Earth, but the air is still crisp and clean, with a hint of sulfur […]
