New camera (Sony RX100) so I'm still getting used to it. Overcast day on the mighty Columbia R. but the sun broke out briefly to highlight a ship at anchor.

Stayed at a little villa in Tuscanny (Ponte a Moriano...near Lucca). August is not a good month to visit Italy - too hot. Here are a couple of shots of the villa. We also visited Pisa, Florence and Cinque Terre. I'll upload a few later.

Hope you have a good set of wheels, sidney. Looks like the old Route 66. Back in the day I had my first Mustang and boy... did it purr on highways like this once I got past 80 mph. LOL

It's route 66. Do a search and check the Images. Here's a link to where it ran:

Panta rhei — motion in the Milky Way
Although it currently lies on the outskirts of the Milky Way’s halo, Palomar 12 was not born here. When astronomers first studied this cluster, they were puzzled by its strangely young age when compared to the other clusters in the galaxy. It appeared to be around 30% younger than other Milky Way globulars. Surely if it had been born within our galaxy, it would have sprung to life at a similar time to its cluster companions?
A bit more digging revealed that Palomar 12 was actually ripped from its initial home, the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical galaxy, around 1.7 billion years ago via tidal interactions between its former home and our galaxy. The dwarf galaxy that Palomar 12 once called home is a satellite galaxy to ours, and closely orbits around us — even occasionally passing through the plane of our galaxy. In fact, it is being slowly torn apart and consumed by the Milky Way.

A bit dark, eh?
Tried to preserve the sun's shape, on purpose. -
