The Caldeirão Verde waterfall during a really heavy downpour, which was probably one of the most tropically impressive views in Madeira, Portugal. 🇵🇹 This waterfall is 100 meters high, and the water flows into a huge basin. My entire photo equipment was totally soaked, miraculously nothing was damaged!

May 8, 1983, 41 years ago today: There is nothing like trying to pack up everything you own in a downpour. My sleeping bag was soaked, my tent was hopeless; everything was drenched. Adding insult to injury, the rain came to a dead stop about five minutes after I had finished packing.
Globular clusters not only exist in galaxy’s halos. M71 is practically embedded in Milky Way’s disc, just halfway (apparently) in between Albireo and Altair. This globular cluster has another peculiarity: it is rich in metals which is unusual for an old object like this.

Nothing special, but I like the neon highlights of the refracted light and the noise, which looks like high iso but it's just water mist from the waterfall - The Lagoa do Vento Waterfall (Levada das 25 Fontes) Madeira, Portugal 🇵🇹
Hey friends! We just came back from a great hike near #garmischpartenkirchen. We wanted to do this mountain recently but the snow in the upper part was too risky for us.
Today we went there again. Beautiful ascent, nice views. Some spray rain and a slippery, dirty descent. But at the end we even had some sun!
