Raining stars over the California desert, a long exposure photo showing the celestial movements of the heavens.
I’m always amazed at how much color comes out in a photo that is hidden or barely discernible when we are looking at it with our own eyes. I know this intellectually, of course, but am still amazed every time. It’s this sort of quality that further inspires me to slow down and really appreciate the night sky and how the world looks at night in general.
