So, I went to a trek in the Himalayas with 10 of my friends. We were staying at our base camp which is a small village Naitwar in Uttarakhand. We were lucky enough to reach by sunset. I took my Canon and started clicking pics of the snow peaked mountains around. I just happened to notice that some clouds had come in front of the sun and it was a glorious sight. I immediately reduced the ISO and clicked this pic. When I saw it I was mesmerised and thought – “This pic is going to Unsplash”

Eileen Claffey captured the moon and a fogbow on the morning of September 30, 2018, near Lake Wickaboag in central Massachusetts.
Fogbows are rainbow’s cousins, made by much the same process, but with the small water droplets inside a fog instead of larger raindrops. Because the water droplets in fog are so small, fogbows have only weak colors or are colorless.

Photo by Jeroen Wehkamp: Rotterdam Zoo, Rotterdam, Netherlands I was wandering the Rotterdam Zoo when I stumbled upon the enclosure were these small frogs were kept. This cute little specimen is less then 1cm in size! The glass in front of the enclosure proved to be quite a challenge, but nonetheless, this shot turned out really great, after finding the right angle to take the shot.

First sunrise of fall from central North Carolina – September 22, 2018 – via our friend Lee Capps.
The September equinox arrives on September 23, 2018, at 01:54 UTC. Although the equinox happens at the same moment worldwide, your clock time will depend on your time zone. For time zones in the continental U.S., this equinox comes on September 22 at 9:54 p.m. EDT, 8:54 p.m. CDT, 7:54 p.m. MDT and 6:54 p.m. PDT. Translate to your time zone.
At the equinox, days and nights are approximately equal in length. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is rising later now, and nightfall comes sooner. We’re enjoying the cooler days of autumn.
Meanwhile, south of the equator, spring is about to begin.
