Sunspot 2158

As I photographed the hazy sunset this evening, I was annoyed by a speck of dust on my lens. No amount of effort would remove it, and I eventually concluded that it must be a sunspot. Imagery from www.spaceweather.com confirms that it was sunspot 2158.  More excitingly, I realized that I took my photo just minutes after this sunspot had unleashed an X1 class solar flare.

 Let's hope I'll have some aurora pictures to post in the coming days!

Nothingness

 

"It is not good to talk about Zen, because Zen is nothingness ......

If you talk about it, you are always lying, and if you don't talk about it,

no-one knows it is there."

(It seems fitting that this photo was taken from Tananger Harbour, where Mr. Pirsig once lived on his boat for a year, whilst researching his second book.)
