Yeah, that's me climbing a serac. It was an almost perfect 100+foot spike. I just had to try it. I couldn't take this photo for obvious reasons but it was my camera. Ginger got a pretty dramatic shot. Photography in her future I think.
These photos I took on the summit of Mount Baker in winter. Baker is an active volcano in the Northern Cascades. To the east you can see Mt. Shuksan poking it's head above the clouds. We were on that peak as well the very next day. I only have a few photos because the cold killed my camera battery because we had negative 60°F windchill temps (-60°F). Brr..

3. NASA Hubble (good luck coming close to that)
Happy to see so many people out still watching the skies. 😁
Globular Cluster (M22). These look like a blob in the night sky but they are made up of thousands, possibly millions of stars. Really bizarre objects. Why these form near galaxies is unknown.

Waxing Gibbous Moon over Central Pennsylvania.
You'll notice the moon surface is rust-brown in some places and deeper gray-black in others. The rust-brown is primarily iron ore, titanium, and the gray-black is basalt.
This changed many opinions on the Moon's origins as it's composition was identical to Earth's. Feel free to use however you like.
