You are looking at star trails from a 2 hour long exposure in total while the earth was moving, behind a sun stick from Wishtoyo Chumash Village in Malibu, CA, a living Chumash cultural village. This cultural village is the only one of its kind in Southern California. This village is the vision of Mati Waiya, who wanted to create a living Chumash cultural village, one in which people stay, eat, live, and people come to learn about native plants, sustainability, ecology, and more through the lens of traditional Chumash cultural values and practices. The village is on land that is the historic home of the Chumash, with eight Chumash prehistoric sites existing within a half mile of the present village, existing as early as 4000-6000 BC. Everything came together during this magical night: the beauty of the location, the kindness of the people in the village, the clean ocean air, the magic and cultural significance of the Chumash village, and the act of “light painting” photography, something I love to do. The sun stick is for tracking the sun and other astronomical uses, particularly during the winter solstice.
Oh, and what is the white light on the Pacific horizon, you ask? A UFO (Unidentified Floating Object), passing in the night. 馃榾

Usted est谩 mirando la estela de estrellas (a partir de una larga exposici贸n total de 2 horas mientras la tierra se est谩ba moviendo) encima de un palo de sol en Wishtoyo Chumash pueblo en Malibu, CA, una aldea cultural Chumash real. Esta aldea cultural es el 煤nico de su tipo en el sur de California. Este pueblo es la visi贸n de Mati Waiya, que quer铆a crear una aldea cultural Chumash real, una en la que la gente se queda, comer, vivir, y la gente viene para aprender sobre las plantas nativas, la sostenibilidad, la ecolog铆a, y m谩s a trav茅s de la lente de la tradicional de Chumash valores y pr谩cticas culturales. El pueblo se encuentra en un terreno que es la antigua residencia de los Chumash, con ocho yacimientos prehist贸ricos Chumash existente dentro de una media milla de la actual poblaci贸n, existente ya en 4000-6000 antes de Cristo. Todo se reunieron durante esta noche m谩gica: la belleza de la ubicaci贸n, la amabilidad de la gente de la aldea, el aire limpio del oc茅ano, la magia, la importancia cultural de la aldea Chumash, y el acto de la fotograf铆a “pintura de luz”, algo que encantar铆a hacer. El “sun stick”, or palo de sol, es para seguir el sol y otros usos astron贸micos, particularmente durante el solsticio de invierno.
