🇨🇦 Port Stanley Remembrance Day Ceremony - November 9, 2025

Under a quiet snowfall, Port Stanley gathered to honour those who gave everything so that we could live in peace and freedom. ❄️

In this image, you can feel the weight of the moment — soldiers standing tall and steadfast as sentinels in the cold, holding their post with unwavering respect and dignity. Even as the snow came down around them, their composure and silence spoke louder than words ever could.

Today, and every day, we remember the veterans who sacrificed so much for us — their courage, their endurance, and their legacy. We thank those who served before, those who serve now, and those who continue to carry the torch of remembrance.

To the men and women who stood in the snow this morning, and to every soul who has ever worn the uniform — thank you. 🌺

Lest We Forget.

First crack at The Pacman Nebula shot from St. Thomas, On, Canada. Some interesting facts below. 👇

✨ The Pacman Nebula (NGC 281) — a mesmerizing star-forming region located about 9,200 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.

Nicknamed for its resemblance to the iconic video game character, its glowing “head” and dark “mouth” of thick dust lanes make it one of the most recognizable nebulae in the night sky. 🌌🎮

📍 Location: Cassiopeia Constellation

🌠 Distance: ~9,200 light-years from Earth

💫 Key Features:

Emission nebula — glowing clouds of ionized gas

Dark dust lanes — forming the “mouth”

Open star cluster IC 1590 — newborn stars shining bright

Active star formation — new suns being born

Bok globules — dense, shadowy pockets of dust and gas

I've been star gazing a lot lately. I ended up taking 6 hours worth of data over a few evenings to create a clearer version of The Andromeda Galaxy. Those colours are starting to pop. Shot this here in St. Thomas, On. Enjoy! ✨🙌
