The last one I did was back in May and this does not look much different, it but has a nice summer glow. The stitching is a little wonky on the right side, but I’ve only just noticed that – so what :-).

Also a flower, but with something tasty attached.

This is another ISS pass over Mülheim, from August 16th in a 128-second exposure. I’d like to wish Fraser Cain, the publisher of Universe Today, a happy birthday with this image! It’s a much better shot than my previous effort – only, for some reason, now the ISS trail is straight, but the star trails are a bit crooked. There’s also a bit of light pollution on the bottom from the balcony lamps and some sensor glow, but I like this better because the space station faded out before it went behind the maple tree.

One more view of the inner city highrises here in Mülheim, standing right in front. Compared to real highrises, these are comparatively tiny, only 80 meters high, but they still look like monsters towering over the whole center of the city. Sometimes I wonder how the city would look without these buildings…

Maybe the plant wants to ask a question?

These are never going to ripen if this weather keeps up…

Inching up very close to Zinnia Center!

This is the ISS passing over Mülheim on August 14th and again I have to mention that the space station was not drunk, but my tripod still tends to wobble a little. The glow in the lower left corner is not light pollution, but comes from the sensor because the camera isn’t actually built to do a 128-second exposure.

Some little green ones, and I’ve shortened the name of the series because the season is now in full swing.

Back in May, I took a lot of photos of a jumping spider similar to this one. This time, I unfortunately only got one shot before it disappeard again behind some flowerpots, but the photo still turned out nice :-).
