On the road…shepherds and their yaks
At 4000+ meters on the Shandur Pass in far North Pakistan . The shepherds were walking the yaks up to the high altitude summer pastures, where they spend 3 months of the short summer grazing. There is almost no vehicle traffic on this, which is the major highway across the pass linking two major regions of north Pakistan…Chitral and Gilgit Baltistan. It is a difficult and long road…mostly traversed on foot by locals with flocks in summer, and inaccessible in winter. One event in June which we missed by a couple of weeks, is the huge Shandur Polo Tournament, held at the highest point of the Pass. Polo teams from all the villages in Chitral and Gilgit assemble up there with huge crowds of supporters and VIPs helicopter in to watch. The polo, a game which originated in these high mountains, is a much more rough and tumble war game than the upper class descendant played on village greens in other lands. I have watched many an enjoyable polo game in these high mountains…usually given the ball to throw in to start the match, as a visitor!

Karlsruhe. Kaiserstrasse. 2178.
Wie im Jahr 1978 fährt auch 2178 die Strassenbahn wieder oberirdisch. Die U-Bahn Tunnels wurden zu Luxuswohnungen gentrifiziert, denn die Aliens wollten es so. Diese Idee isch gar ned mal so guud, denn dadurch hat man beim Tramfahren durch die City die Möglichkeit, UFOs zu beobachten und zu fotografieren. Faszinierend!
Im PiP eine Fotografie der Karlsruher Kaiserstrasse aus dem Jahr 1978. Wie man sieht, ist der Unterschied gar nicht mal so gross. Karlsruhe bleibt also seinem ursprünglichen Layout treu, das ja auch schon die Stadt Washington D.C. zu ihrem Downtown Design inspiriert hatte.

Helix Nebula NGC 7293
The Mirrors were aligned and this was the test target. This was shot over three nights one interrupted by rain that was not suppose to happen , the friday night and saturday night as total shots. The idea of getting more shots is to get better detail of the very faint red high brow and to some extent the very faint low brow. The only problem that many shots is a 5 hour computer stack so I draw the line there.
I had to put faith in Nina to work on friday and focus not fail as it was set off at 9pm by itself as I would be way out of town. Deep in the sand dunes of lancelin . As I was so tired on Saturday I did the very same as it worked well on friday night.
