Sunspots
This was imaged with my Astro-Physics 152mm and DayStar Quantum PE .5 Angstrom filter and Flea2 video ccd camera. These images were taken 1 hour a part. — Randy Shivak
Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun that appear visibly as dark spots compared to surrounding regions. They are caused by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection by an effect comparable to the eddy current brake, forming areas of reduced surface temperature. They usually appear as pairs, with each sunspot having the opposite magnetic pole than the other. [**]
oooh… intense swirly goodness….

The words are all parts of the body, in the anatomically correct places. so cool.

“Rough: Early Morning” by Jane Sherrill
Her paintings of the sea are very impressive — much more so in person than on her webpage. very strange how much of a difference that makes.

“City Peacock” by Julia Burns Liberman
I discovered her at last year’s Open Studios and spent the year wishing I had bought something. I am pleased to say I rectified that this afternoon!

Citylife by Timothy Craig
I went to Somerville Open Studios today, so be prepared for an onslaught of pics from artists I found. This guy is actually one I found a few years ago, and only wish I had $$$/space to hang one of his Boston pics — they’re huge and gorgeous and wonderful.
