Beautiful. I love the night sky in places you can actually see it. Some of the remote State parks in Northern New Mexico have views like this.
Hope you're doing well Bob.

Extraordinary Beauty: As above, so below ~ Simply breath-taking: The Milky Way floats over a serene lake in an image which took two years to get just right!

Occasionally an image comes along which is simply breath-taking.
This, we humbly submit, is one of them, an image of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, stretching in an immense band across the skies and giving us just the tiniest glimpse of the vastness of our universe around us.
The image was taken by astrophotographer Luc Perrot on the French island of Réunion, to the East of Madagascar, who reports that he waited two years to get the perfect light conditions.
But it was worth it.
In the foreground, surrounded by bushes and trees, lies a water-filled volcanic crater serenely reflecting starlight.
A careful inspection near the image center will locate Piton des Neiges, the highest peak on the island, situated several kilometers away.
In the background, high above the lake, shines the light of hundreds of stars, most of which are within 100 light years, right in our stellar neighborhood.
Far in the distance, arching majestically overhead, is the central band of our home Milky Way Galaxy, shining by the light of millions of stars each located typically thousands of light years away.

Navajo Prayer for Healing - Sacred Pauses

In the house made of dawn.
In the story made of dawn.
On the trail of dawn.
O, Talking God.His feet, my feet, restore.
His limbs, my limbs, restore.
His body, my body, restore.
His mind, my mind, restore.
His voice, my voice, restore.
His plumes, my plumes, restore.With beauty before him, with beauty before me.
With beauty behind him, with beauty behind me.
With beauty above him, with beauty above me.
With beauty below him, with beauty below me.
With beauty around him, with beauty around me.With pollen beautiful in his voice, with pollen beautiful in my voice.
It is finished in beauty. It is finished in beauty.
In the house of evening light.
From the story made of evening light.
On the trail of evening light.

Walking in Beauty
All day long, may I walk.
Through the returning seasons, may I walk.Beautifully I will possess again.
Beautifully birds…
Beautifully joyful birds…On the trail marked with pollen, may I walk.
With grasshoppers about my feet, may I walk.
With dew about my feet, may I walk.With beauty, may I walk.
With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty,
lively, may I walk.
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty,
living again, may I walk.It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.
