“NGC 4631 – The Whale Galaxy 🐋💫”
Last night the skies finally cleared, and I had the chance to capture this beautiful edge-on galaxy swimming through the stars. It's called the Whale Galaxy for its shape — and I can definitely see why!
📷 Total exposure: (1h 67m)

[Distance from Earth 30 Million light-years]

The Himalayan range, once visible from Kathmandu, is now obscured by severe air pollution and haze caused by dust, smoke from fires, crop burning, vehicle and industrial emissions, and construction dust. Climate change has worsened the issue by lengthening dry seasons and reducing rainfall, allowing haze to persist longer.

In the foreground the day is coming to an end, and on the left some aircraft is about to crash 😉 It's from 2016.

#waterscape #goldensunset #seashore #breakwater #seawall #clearskies #afternoonattheseaside #sunlight #landscape #nature #sunset #sea #sky
The view from the breakwater which is in shadow of the sun setting over the sea. The water is calm, gently sparkling from the reflected rays of the sun. To the left you can see the shore, no longer illuminated by the sun's rays, and above it in the distance you can see in the sky the footprint of a plane that looks as if it is flying straight down.

A regular photo of a sunset over the sea that I took a few years ago in March :)

#goldensunset #seashore #clearskies #balticsea #afternoonattheseaside #sunset #sea #sky
The yellow-orange sun setting over the sea viewed from the beach which is already covered in shadow. The surface of the water and the gentle sea waves reflect the sun's rays. The pale blue sky is mostly clear, with a few clear smudged clouds above the setting sun.
