As a kid I'd ride my fourwheeler deep in the woods at night and hop on top of some abandoned oil tanks.
Just lay up there and smoke cigarettes.
No phones. No lights. No bullshite.
Glad I was always an old man. Those moments of peace are hard to come by these days.

I love staring up at the sky in wonder every time I take the trash to the curb. My wife always wonders what takes me so damn long 
What is smaller than a quark? We are truly infinitesimal quark particles, yet impossibly miraculous in this vast, borderless universe.

Cloudless moonless winter night in the Colorado rockies 50 miles from civilization is amazing. I love just laying down and staring at it.
Amazing how much you can see after 20 or 30 minutes of no light exposure.

The iridium flares from the communication satellites are cool.

Little bright lights cruising by…. Not blinking or anything, just a solid light. I noticed last night that they fade in and out of focus from time to time. 4:30am-5am was insane the amount of satellites you could see.

Quarks, we're all, but quarks with an ego, an identity, a soul.
Stars live a few billion years, then go supernova and die in a blaze of glory. The human soul goes on without end. Pretty mind-boggling when you ruminate on it

4.5 hours of exposure.
I do see lots of satellites but stacking multiple exposures erases the trail they leave through a frame.
Beautiful.
How many individual exposures, and at what length, to make that one composite?
My biggest regret of the pandemic is that it cancelled a planned trip to Nevada/Utah/Arizona in spring 2020. My hope had been to get some good night sky shots at Bryce Canyon.
