Lake Daylesford is an artificial lake in the town of Daylesford, Victoria, Australia. It was completed in either 1927 or 1929 after many years of campaigning, beginning in 1893. It was designed by Walter Burley Griffin, the American architect who won the competition to design the city of Canberra. Lake Daylesford was formed when the dam wall was built across Wombat Creek above the Central Springs in 1929. The town wanted an ornamental body of water to beautify the scarred creek landscape.
Primary inflows : Wombat Creek
Primary outflows : Molonglo River
Average depth : 2m (6.6 ft)
Maximum depth : 9m (30 ft)
The lake is about 112 km north-west of Melbourne CBD. From the Dja Dja Wurrung people, who first inhabited the land thousands of years ago, to the Swiss Italian migrants of the gold rush and Melbourne's turn-of-the-century holidaymakers, Daylesford has long been considered a special place of healing.

This was taken near a blowhole in Forrest Caves, Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. I was standing on a large rock formation called the Red Rocks. It was a rainy morning, yet the sun came out long enough during our visit. The clouds over the horizon were pleasingly tidy and clean. It is funky yet beautiful.

This was taken on 21.8.2017 on a fine day at the football ground of Brigham Young University in Rexburg, Idaho, USA. This was captured moments after totality. Here a rim of the sun is re-appearing in the top right corner. Coronal filaments are mostly seen along the top right hemisphere, too.
For the beginning and partial eclipse, a Baader AstroSolar Safety Foil was used before the lens. This foil is CE-tested and reduces the intensity of sunlight by 99.999% (optical density 5.0). This image was taken without the foil.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun's disk, as seen in this 2017 eclipse. Solar prominences (in red) can be seen along the limb as well as extensive coronal filaments.
It is safe to observe the total phase of a solar eclipse directly only when the Sun's photosphere is completely covered by the Moon, and not before or after totality. During this period, the Sun is too dim to be seen through filters. The Sun's faint corona will be visible, and the chromosphere, solar prominences, and possibly even a solar flare may be seen. At the end of totality, the same effects will occur in reverse order, and on the opposite side of the Moon.

Lau Fau Shan Seafood Fishing Village is located in Yuen Long West, New Territories, Hong Kong. It is a famous place to enjoy seafood as well as viewing sunset. Running across the frame is Shenzhen Bay Bridge, which connects Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China. Flocks of sea birds are coming back to roost after a hard day's foraging.
流浮山位於香港元朗西，流浮山原址位於天水圍以西，廈村以北的一座小山丘。因流浮山靠近后海灣，故以出產海鮮聞名。除了慕名前來品嚐海鮮外，還有不少攝影發燒友於前來拍攝日落景色。

This is the back of a store selling dried-seafood products. Evenly spread in trays are various fish, in part or whole, being dried in the sun. The zigzaggy marks on the shiny metal cladding of the shed make a beautiful abstraction scenario in the warm evening light.

Troides helena, the common birdwing, is a butterfly belonging to the family Papilionidae. It is often found in the wildlife trade due to its popularity with butterfly collectors.
In Hong Kong, T. helena is at the northern limit of its range. It is not common in Hong Kong but it is observed that there are stable populations in three sites (the surrounding area of Po Lo Che (Sai Kung District), Shan Liu Road (Tai Po) and Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden in the New Territories). It is also found on Lantau Island and Hong Kong Island. (Wikipedia)
