The constellation Cygnus is in a favorable position now, and I took some interesting images of the galactic plane using my normal and wide-angle lenses- here are 100% crops.

Beautiful ABD EL HAMEED. I don't know, but I would like to do captions for these photos;

3rd photo: One afternoon in the Middle East.
2nd photo: The sun is back.
1st: Shine on you crazy diamond. :biggrin:

Thanks,but it was the sunset in the 2nd picture so I think it should be called "fare away sun" or something like that :p
 
Pardon my intrusion.

Or perhaps the third could be called 'The Eye Of Egypt'

Beautiful, Andy - I especially like the second one, it's so sparkly.

Afraid I don't have enough imagination to see the goose though :redface:.

Nice, Andy.

Thanks, guys. You can't see the constellation because it greatly overfills the frame using either the 85mm or 400mm; the brightest star in the 15mm is Deneb. The 400mm shows NGC 6910 while the 85mm is near HD 193702.

Ya nothing's better than clean,fresh and cool sunset air
If only I had a better camera than my galaxy s2's...
I feel like there's lots of noise in the picture when I zoom in
 
It's humid and smells fishy out there, Borek. :biggrin:

Nonetheless, it's eye pleasant. :)

Taking pictures like this makes me jealous. Another fine shot Andy.

On Saturday I went biking - and saw these people:

Nothing extraordinary, but berkeman was on the EMT shift during SWAT competition, or he was training as a part of this competition, or he was doing both at the same time - so it was hard to not think about him :smile:
