Alone in the Dark
This image, stacked from 158 images of 30 seconds each, came about as a failed attempt to capture the Perseids a few days after their peak. That mission failed, so I settled for star trails instead.

"Planet"
This image is being submitted as part of the #Flickr21 Photo Challenge, celebrating Flickr's 21st anniversary on February 10, 2025. The theme for the 6th day of the 21 day photo challenge is "Planet." The very first thing I thought of with this theme was to somehow feature the rotation of our own planet in space. And there can be no greater visual representation of planetary rotation than with star trails rotating around Polaris, the North Star.
