It was a bit of a hike out to this small world, but I had a few coyotes for company. Sitting alone on a gently sloping hilltop under a blanket of starlight, holding its memories and awaiting collapse.

The last few auroras have been cloudy for me.

But…I did manage to get out under the stars a few nights ago. Despite the -31C temperature it was still a great night. The only downside was the light, thin clouds that rolled in.

This lonely farmstead was shot with a modified Nikon Z6ii, 20mm and I used a clip-in Ha Filter.

Do the clouds add to the photo? Or do they mess it up? What do you think?

The same local star that blasted our magnetosphere with high energy particles and produced 2 nights of fantastic aurora took its time and produced a lovely patina on this old Ford.

The Black Pearl stands resolute against the unrelenting pull of the Atlantic. But even her defiance will falter. In time, she too will collapse, joining her fallen neighbors—ephemeral, like all things, in the endless sea of time.
