45 minute Youtube Windows 11 Launch Event video (NOTE - the video presentation section begins at 16:35, after a long period of music. It ends at 1:02:00. It would have been nice if it had been trimmed to only the length of the presentation):

Of all the photographic coverage of Mars that has been made available, this video tops them all. Made possible by the various landers and the European Space Agency's satellite, the information that accompanies these spectacular photos and renderings is truly amazing.

The Photo Groups next meeting subject is "perspective". This provides a broad range of personalized options. Basically, alter the meaning of a subject under scrutiny to be interpreted by personal slants and points of view.

Dictionary definitions of perspective:

"Your perspective is the way you see something. If you think that toys corrupt children's minds, then from your perspective a toy shop is an evil place. Perspective has a Latin root meaning "look through" or "perceive," and all the meanings of perspective have something to do with looking".

"Perspective has a Latin root meaning "look through" or "perceive," and all the meanings of perspective have something to do with looking. If you observe the world from a dog's perspective, you see through the dog's eyes. In drawing, perspective gives your drawing the appearance of depth or distance. If we say someone 'has perspective', we mean he/she has a sensible outlook on life".

"the interrelation in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed".

Wikipedia:  Vision and mathematics       

        Perspectivity, the formation of an image in a picture plane of a scene viewed from a fixed point, and its modeling in geometry
        Perspective (graphical), representing the effects of visual perspective in graphic arts
        Aerial perspective, the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance
        Perspective distortion (photography), the way that viewing a picture from the wrong position gives a perceived distortion
        Perspective (geometry), a relation between geometric figures

Regarding steam locomotives, does smoke or steam come out of the smokestack?

Answer: Both.

*The smokestack is where all the expelled smoke from the burning coal in the furnace goes, but pressurized, used steam from the cylinders also exhausts into the smokestack and creates a draft in the system which in turn draws air into the furnace to assist in renewing combustion. Furthermore, there is usually a device called a blower, which blows live-steam directly from the boiler straight up the smokestack. This is can be turned on and off as required to assist with the draft in the system.

+Water vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is only one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice.  Hydrosphere: all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.

Some Various Types of Water Photography.

Simple direct exposure: close-up, scenery, modified colors, light variations, Distorted imagery and photoshopping.
Various types and forms of water; clear domestic use, natural water bodies, oceans, frozen and ice formations, flood,
rain/sleet/hail, steam and vapor, contaminated and dirty.
Changing water to produce effects; electricity and sound.
High speed exposures and magnification.
Using water as a backdrop or setting to complement a subject.
Etc.
