People are drawn to escapist things because they’re a little bit dissatisfied with the world as it actually is, we want to inhabit or physically touch something that feels free from the disappointments of everyday life

Finally made it out to a real dark sky site for my first proper night of #astrophotography
-NGC 7000
-M101
-M51
-M109 / NGC 3992
Still learning, but I’m really happy with how these turned out for a first go.

A wide-field astrophotography image of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000), showing a dense, red emission nebula with a shape resembling the continent of North America. The surrounding star field is rich with faint stars and dark nebulae cutting through the glowing gas. A dramatic image of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) interacting with its smaller companion galaxy. The two galaxies are connected by a faint tidal stream, and the spiral arms of M51 are clearly defined, with bright knots of star formation. A barred spiral galaxy, M109, with a bright central bar and subtle, tightly wound spiral arms. The galaxy appears elongated, set against a backdrop of distant stars, with a smooth and symmetrical structure. A spiral galaxy seen face-on against a black sky, with delicate arms spiraling outward from a bright core. The arms of M101 (Pinwheel Galaxy) are speckled with blue and pink star-forming regions, surrounded by faint stars.

Exploring Merritt Island and came across some stunning feathered locals. Caught a Double-crested Cormorant striking a pose, a Tricolored Heron on the hunt, and a juvenile Little Blue Heron looking elegant in white.

A Double-crested Cormorant, holding court on its grassy throne, soaking up the sun between dives. This Tricolored Heron moved like poetry—elegant, calculated, always one step from its next meal. A juvenile Little Blue Heron in its all-white phase, looking ethereal and serene before its slate-blue transformation.

Close-up of a small fountain with water arching upwards and cascading over itself, forming a smooth, dome-like shape. The water appears almost glass-like, with subtle reflections and ripples. The background is softly blurred, drawing attention to the intricate details of the water

Peeling paint and rusted pipes in a burnt-out Detroit warehouse. The textures tell a story of decay, resilience, and time standing still.
