Beneath a crescent moon at 2:30 AM, a lone tree rises above half-frozen lakes in Mont Tremblant National Park, while the Milky Way stretches across a crisp, clear sky. That night, the heavens came alive, auroras shimmered faintly, meteors streaked the horizon, and stars twinkled brighter than ever, turning the night into a silent celestial masterpiece.
Northern lights, Alta (Finnmark, Norway).

This amazing eclipse was captured seven minutes past the Total Eclipse on May 15, 2022.
In our city of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the total eclipse happened at 11:11 pm, and this was captured at 11:18 pm.
This was May 2022's full moon which is called the Flower Moon.
It was also a Supermoon, which is when the Moon’s orbit is closest to Earth at the same time the Moon is full.
It is also called a Blood Moon due to the red color seen during the eclipse. Why red? It is because the eclipse causes the shadow cast by the Earth to land on the Moon's typically ivory surface. The reason the Moon turns the amber color is because red is the only color with a light wavelength long enough to “get around” the Earth.
I should have used my tripod for this capture, but instead I placed my camera and lens on my car roof, angling it just right and giving me a steady capture.

I'm not sure what the two bright bodies are above and below the moon, whether stars or planets. If you know, please inform me in the comment section- I would love to know :)
Enjoy!

¡Pájaro del agua!
amo el son errante
y azul que desgranas
en las hojas verdes,
en la fuente blanca.
¡No te vayas tú,
corazón con alas!
pájaro del agua
¿qué encantas, qué cantas?
................................................ Juan Ramón Jiménez. (fragmento)
*Voz celestial
Granada, con específica mención a su Alhambra, bien podría llamarse “La ciudad de las fuentes”
No sería de extrañar en primer lugar, por su calidad extraordinaria, decantada directamente de la Sierra de nieves perpetuas, conserva una pureza y un frescor que, en el verano De la Vega tiene valor multiplicado, pareciera recién sacada de la nevera y ello, en cualquiera de los grifos públicos esparcidos por doquier en la ciudad.
Pero, sin desmerecer el anterior, el tesoro de su presencia en este reino es, por su voz.La audición, no era la menor cualidad de su presencia sino su más destacada esencia para aquellos que venían de la experiencia de su ausencia por generaciones, en el desierto.
¡Oro puro para los sentidos! Voz celestial del agua omnipresente que captura el alma y la deja suspendida en la experiencia de sus mansos trinos.
Paradójicamente, una ciudad llena de fuentes que sin embargo no se oyen, solo se escuchan sus aguas mansas prestandoles la exclusiva atención debida, como la dedicada a la mujer que nos enamora, silencio absoluto solo para rellenar el espacio con su murmullo quedo.
El goce nazarí en la escucha constante, de la ausencia de una carencia experimentada por siglos. No pudieron elegir mejor enclave.

I don't know why the heart, my friend, in its coiled musculature
and knot of soft tissue and sinew keeps on in you and me and
that lone flycatcher pillaging the rye grass, or those shrilling
crickets or the croakers in the marsh now starting their evening
doo wop or the Black Angus, like a procession of mourners,
dragging their shadows up from the creek before they buck and run
at our approach. Or the sun, now evanescing in the dusk, arteries
streaked across the western sky, what moves it in space, across
our retinas and into the convolutions of memory? I'm lost again
in the unbroken backbeat, my friend, perpetual in my adoration.
Follow me, if you will, up this ridge road, past the horse farm
and relay towers, with their daisy chains of red lights, pulsating
to warn away planes. I love how the landscape ripples away
in every direction, a tapestry we might float above
or disappear into, a dotting of yardlights like votive candles,
fields and valleys flowing away into darkness. We have come
this far to see the northern auroras, if conditions are right,
so we pick our fenceposts to watch the heavens fill with stars:
the empty dipperful, the seven daughters of Pleiades, a trillion
more I'll never know the names of as fireflies begin to luminesce
and drift about us. We wait and watch, you patient and content
to lick your paws, incarnation of the Buddha, I sometimes think,
here to shame my lack of virtue. And when wild dogs or
coyotes howl miles away, you tip your head up toward me with such
melancholy in your eyes I know whatever life dwells inside you
longs to cross the dark ocean that separates man from dog,
two animal souls on this hill searching the distant horizon
for arcs of light, like glowing fingers, to appear and touch us.

Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) ☄ as seen near Pyramid Hill on 22/1/2025, 10:06 PM (AEDT). Westerly winds during the previous days had created a lot of airborne dust and delivered thick smoke from the Grampians bushfires. This created some difficulty finding a suitably clear sky, but in return, it created very dramatic sunsets.
