Looking at the night sky, and realizing that you are literally looking at light that is millions of years old. You could be looking at light from a star that might no longer exist…

 

Cosmic stars twinkle lights, conduct bright lasers deep, casting glows, tho long gone. Controlled with speed of light, constant gleams stay intense. Captured light waves journey ceaseless light years beyond. Sandra M.

Beautiful. And it reminds me of my not so poetic brother from Germany, who is very creative with his photography. When in the Kruger Park, we told him he was lucky that there was a full moon for his pictures. And he asked, how we knew that. 'Well, look up...', we said and he was flabbergasted. We are all different, but part of the same cosmos. Congratulations, Kai
