Social media influencers are the worst humans that this Earth has produced and they will ultimately destroy the humanity.
I suppose the Earth is smart!
Our nearest neighbor Andromeda galaxy captured last night. This is a stack of 35 three minute subs. Tried to bring out the dark dust lanes while processing this.

First time capturing this elliptical galaxy NGC404 aka Mirach’s ghost as it appears next to Mirach. This galaxy is 9.7 ly away in Andromeda. #astro
The Helix Nebula aka “Eye of Sauron” is located in the constellation Aquarius at 650 light years away. It is a planetary nebula that formed when a star shed its outer layers. The gases of the nebula glow due to the radiation emitted by the remnant central core of that star - a white dwarf.
Visited the Eiffel Tower in the afternoon. Being low tourist season, we could just walk through security without any wait and had a nice time. There so many photos one can take there with unique angles and perspectives.
This bridge near Bonnieux was built more than 2000 years ago during the Roman Empire when there was no mortar. It was built by placing perfectly chiseled stones on top of each other. It was in regular use till 2005 when it was designated as a monument. Amazing Roman engineering!
Lunch in Bonnieux was at this small restaurant called Panoramique César that had handwritten menu on the board. I had stuffed vegetables - eggplant, mushroom and a baby cabbage stuffed with various meats, grains and cheese. I think this was the best meal on this trip.
On day 2 our first stop was this picturesque pretty hilltop town of Gordes in the Luberon mountains. This place is used by many filmmakers as a typical Provençal town. For that reason every little stone in the town is in the perfect place.
Lunch at this wonderful little cafe, La Table des Balmes in Beaumes-de-Venise was fois gras and smoked trout on a pancake followed by crème brûlée.
Visited a couple of vineyards on the slopes of Mont Ventoux. There were some tasty wines made from Grenache grapes with Ventoux appellation.
Drove up on Mont Ventoux from Avignon for views but didn’t see anything as the summit was shrouded in clouds. Noticed many messages written on the road as this was on the route of Tour de France stage 16 in July of this year.
Although one can spend days in each one of them, we visited three museums in London in one day to view a few selected objects:
National gallery: Van Gogh and Monet paintings British museum: Rosetta Stone V&A museum: Tipoo’s tiger
Visited the white cliffs near Eastbourne on the south shore of England. These views were just breathtaking.
Squeezed in a bike ride with Yatin on a foggy Sunday morning during this London trip.
