Standing still under the band of the Milky Way - the Celestial River of uncountable stars of our own Galaxy - this boat rests quietly on fine grains of sand created long ago. How long ago is exceedingly difficult to answer since the erosion of rocks and the formation of sand is an ongoing procedure.

Another interesting question is whether there are more grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth than there are stars in the whole Universe. And although one might argue that the stars probably outnumber the grains of sand, the only certain thing is that every single grain of sand and every single cell of our body, has been at some time part of a stellar interior, since all the heavy elements of the Universe have been created in the interiors of stars and have being ejected to interstellar space by exploding stars, only to be incorporated by next generation stars and ultimately into what now comprises our Solar system and our bodies. We are all made of stardust after all.

Thanks to everyone for visiting my photos, for all your faves and comments, I deeply appreciate it! Wishing you all the best! Clear skies and health to you and your families.

Technical info and some personal thoughts:

Photographing the Milky Way from that place on the beach proved problematic, since the wide angle lens at f/2.8 captured an annoyingly great amount of light pollution from the distant village, even in ten-second exposures, so I had to take many shots to find the best settings, as a balance between capturing more of the starlight and less of the light pollution. Clearly not the best place to photograph the Milky Way, but it is so relaxing to be on a beach on a clear, moonless summer night, under the canopy of stars with no people around, contemplating the mysteries of the Universe, that I could not resist it!

Algunas flores son irresistibles por su belleza efímera, su fragancia y sus colores.

23 Days Moon

Skywatcher Mak 150 Pro

EOS 550D

There was an eerie calm, the weather was closing in but there was still no wind. It was afternoon and rare to see the river this calm and yet the sun was peeping somehow through the thin gaps in the sky as I drove past and saw this view through my rear vision mirror as I was driving home. I did a hurried U turn and set up to shoot a few views.

Une sortie mémorable jusqu'au crépuscule. Un oiseau que je rêvais d'observer. Pas facile de s'allonger dans la vase mais ça valait le coup 🌞
