It's springtime in the city. Finally, after a long and cold winter!

Yes, should be well into spring now, but altough some stirrings it seems quite retarded. Unseasonable hailstorm left this on our terrace, the violence actually tore and broke quite a lot of leaves.

I started with buying a small Moon lamp, and I liked it so much I started looking for planet lamps too.
I gave away my small Moon lamp to my mother, and bought a bigger one for myself. I really like the Moon and Mars lamp in particular, because they are quite realistic looking (more than what is shown in the photos below).

Here are my lamps (I can change them to quite many different colors with remote controls):

The Moon

Mars
(I think it looks a bit weird for some reason on this photo. It looks better in reality.)

Jupiter

Various Moon and planet lamps are available on Amazon e.g. here.
Thanks. I bought the moon. Now you've got me wanting Juipter.

Last week I was ordering some new camera stuff on Amazon and I also put in a Mercury and a Venus lamp in the basket. I got them recently and I really like them too. :smile:

Edit: I remember I also ordered a Saturn lamp more than a year ago, from AliExpress I think, but it arrived badly damaged and I got refunded.

A purple 10 liter plastic bucket. Common household item. Photo worthy for the beautiful color. First one seen this color and only one among the always- red, blue or black ones from this village market

Part of the Greenville [South Carolina] Symphony Orchestra prepares for a concert last Sunday. This was our second excursion for a concert since the pandemic began last year; the first one was the previous Sunday.

C7E886A3-F824-4DFB-8DDC-0595A3F70A32.jpeg


The GSO normally performs six concerts per year, during fall through spring. This year they postponed the first one to March, and are cramming the rest in by the end of this month. The audience is limited to season-ticket holders and a small number of individual tickets. The audience and performers must all wear masks, even though most of the audience has probably been vaccinated by now.

Their usual venue is a large concert hall. This concert was at a church instead, perhaps because of a scheduling problem, and used a reduced-size string orchestra.

The TV screens advertise the next concert.

Ah you have now corrected yourself - you had me worried. I thought this

EAC3826E-745D-4E84-957A-F03DA4115000.jpeg


on our terrace, was an Azalea.

Well perhaps I should correct that too. Actually I thought the one behind was an Azalea. I thought the one in front was a Fuchsia. So I asked my wife and she told me yours was not an Azalea and the one in the picture is. Actually that both are. B...but, I asked, I thought,... I thought you'd told me that one in front was a Fuchsia!? No, she explained, it's the colour that is Fuchsia!

This could almost go in the Today I Learned thread. But it's here. There I will put something I'm going to learn about Bougainvilleas that not a lot of people know in a few days.

A rainbow photographed a couple of days ago.
Some say there is gold buried underground at the end of rainbows.
In this case there is a house and some construction cranes instead.
Maybe the gold is stored in the house, and will be put underground later. :smile:

And here's their usual venue, warming up for yesterday's concert. Still a reduced-size ensemble, and a widely-spaced audience.

I seem to currently be followed by rainbows... :biggrin:
This morning I saw a giant, very bright rainbow (partly double), and I am pretty sure I spotted a so-called supernumary rainbow inside the primary bow.

I quickly fetched the camera and took several photos which I will stitch together into a large wide angle photo.
I'll post some photos later in this thread. :smile:

Here is the double rainbow this morning (enhanced wide angle photo):

01 - Panorama 1 - ISO 800 - 02m3.jpg
Here is an enhanced photo with labels which shows at least one supernumary rainbow inside the main bow:
(I think I can see a hint of even a second supernumary bow inside the first one)

Supernumary Rainbow - DSC6851 - 01 - with labels - m2.jpg


Edit: Here's another version of the first photo with more enhanced colors:

Great photos, thanks.

We saw a rainbow a couple of evenings ago and it seemed to have a trace of red just inside the main rainbow. It didn't look like a secondary rainbow so I'm glad to see it named here as supernumary, I feel ignorant that I hadn't heard of that before but will read about it now.

I did not know what it was called (or had forgotten about it) until I looked it up. :smile:

So the bit in between really is darker?! I imagined that to be an optical illusion and down to the contrast with the bright rainbow part.

Sunset yesterday:

Just after sunset:

(the difference in colors between the photos is because I used different lenses: Canon FD 50mm in photo 1 and 3, and Sony 16-50mm in photo 2. The Canon lens produces warmer colors than the Sony lens.)

On the Southern point of Pattaya bay. No prizes for guessing what Russian "organization" has this place.

Jomtien beach. Not that much to do in the water here for a native Californian , but the long view is always nice. Russians and Scandinavians are content with it however. Water about 30 C
