Such an amazing night, and we raised almost 60k linden for Don't Be a Monster! Come see us and all our amazing designers today!
Our AirBnB host had slipped a page into the guest book saying "My favorite place to stargaze in the desert is a plot of land out in the middle of Wonder Valley. I call it the Star Box. It's far from light pollution and you'll be all alone out there. Venmo $25 for access to the land. I do not take responsibility for nails or glass in tires. Arrive before sunset or you'll never find the place." The tire thing worried us, but we paid up, got the coords, and checked it out in daylight - soft sand road, but seemed fine. It was indeed magical - I hadn't seen a sky this big before - free of obstructions in every direction, ringed by distant mountains all the way around, a totally enveloping experience. I'd expected the temps to drop with nightfall, but a warm wind persisted. We ate pizza and watched the North Star appear, then watched as cosmos lit up. The downside of the location for astro photography is that there were no landmarks, so there's nothing to include (skies with stars and nothing else are boring). But we had fun doing some light painting in the desert while we waited for the full star show. Amazing evening.
Autumn - Höst bliss at Kvarnbacken in Mårdsjön, Jämtland, Sweden.
I love seasons and the autumn is special with its colours, the crisp and clear air in the mornings.
What is your Autumn or season feelings?

I södra Sverige är merparten av grenarna fortfarande gröna men om man tittar efter lite nogrannare ser man att starten på hösten är här.
You can still see mostly green tree and vegetation in the southern parts of Sweden. But if you take a closer look, you will soon find evidence that autumn is coming.

We were invited to a wine tasting party at a Swiss friend's home in San Jose, California. We also enjoyed Tête de Moine, a yummy semi-hard Swiss Alpine cheese they brought back from Switzerland, literally translated to monk's head. Here is host Martin taken with the vintage Canon 50mm f0.95 "Dream Lens".
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photos from a JPG exposure, merged them, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
