Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. ― Rumi Excessive judgments weigh you down and make you feel heavy-hearted and unsatisfied. While we are judging and discerning, sometimes it is just wonderful to allow the radiance of the universe to permeate and just be, and let go. We are always making distinctions and labeling things as right and wrong, good or bad, true or untrue ... Sometimes it is exhausting to carry all the burden of excessive judgment. Just be :) This was shot on an early morning by the countryside of Wisconsin, as I was returning back from shooting the Milky Way & Perseids. It is always fun to shoot thru the night into the light !
The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright shells on the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, yet echoes on in sweet and soulful refrains. For every moment that passes, something beautiful remains. - Unknown Met this cute guy during the stroll by the beach. He was taking the time to enjoy the sun and was strolling even more leisurely to get a dip in the warm waters. If you look close you could see his legs and he dragged lazily towards the water :)
Somewhere, Something incredible is waiting to be known. – Carl Sagan As Spring comes up, so does the galactic arm of the milky way. Due to the curvature and constant movement of the earth, the Milky Way is below the horizon during the months of November to February, and can be enjoyed with the galactic center from March to October (if you live in the northern hemisphere). This shot is from the one of the most know Presides meteor shower from the past year. We drove around the Green river state wildlife area and luckily chanced upon a remote road. As I light painted the foreground with Coast HP7, the meteor sparkled across the night sky. One of the stars even decided to play the head of the comet. Looking forward to more adventurous nights this year :)
