Spiorad Àird nam Murchan – Part 16 | Elemental begins

Earth is the first voice in Ardnamurchan’s elemental chorus—a voice that hums beneath every other sound.

Rooted yet vulnerable. Next: Water.

DIY Digital Railroad made a great video explaining the challenges that keep #modeltrain companies making only popular models. It's why I believe 3D printing + Open Source projects like Dragon Railways are the only feasible path forward. Cost and accessibility are mandatory for this hobby's future

10 years to the day since I took what is probably my most acclaimed image.

Caister, Norfolk 2015.

A long exposure of a zig-zag groyne on the beach at Caister-on-Sea in Norfolk. The image had long streaks of white water as a wave draws back into the sea. This image was awarded the Adobe Prize in the 2016 Landscape Photographer of the Year award and featured in several national newspapers and websites. © Damian Ward 2015.

This stunning image of NGC 6302, the Butterfly Nebula, captures a dying star ejecting gas at 600,000 mph, heated to 36,000°F. Hidden behind a dense dust ring, the star’s core reaches 400,000°F, making it one of the hottest known in the galaxy.

I got myself a cute little 264mm wide field refractor to complement my 8" catadioptric telescope. It saw its first light last night. Here's the resulting image, of the North America Nebula. (It's a stack of 124 unguided 1-minute exposures.) The nebula is HUGE, 3.5x the angular diameter of the moon.
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000), image by Josh Bloch, acquired 6/14/2025, and processed 6/15/2025. First light on new Askar SQA55.

Venus, Saturn, and the Moon rise over the Mediterranean in this stunning view from Ibiza, Spain. Their reflections stretch into lines on the sea, caused by light scattering off small surface ripples. Even a distant beacon joins the celestial display.

Playing around with putting dcc in some old trains I had lying around, here’s a 90s era atlas RS3 that I got working. Maybe soon I’ll feel comfortable enough to start playing with sound decoders. #modeltrains #dcc

Golden light and silent flight—nothing quite compares to the elegance of a barn owl at dusk.

Some good memories from the Wilmington and Western railroad. #steamtrain #railroad
W&W #58 (0-6-0) pulling a 4th of July train. Brilliant yellow foliage surrounds #58 as it backs toward Greenbank station. It’s past peak folliage but #98, a 4-4-0 steams through the woods with a fall foliage train #98 readies for a trip along the red clay creek.
