The Time-release Dose – “We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.”

A pertinent quote by the late Carl Sagan, astronomer and author of the Cosmos  series.

The “Backbone of Night”.

It is said that the !Kung people of the Kalahari desert consider the Milky Way as the backbone that holds up the sky!

ART of Darkness – Camping with the Stars! Part III

.

An invitation from the darkness

outside the world of people.

.

Our ancestors have lived in the darkness for many thousands of years. It is only in the last 100 years that people have lost sight of the Milky Way and the stars.

Remote camping under the Milky Way is a beautiful experience

not soon forgotten.

Enjoy the dark Everglades nights!

Kayakfari Fantasy Art Photography series:

“Deep Space Exploration”

in the Ten Thousand Islands

plus a word from Captain

James T. Sprayskirt:

.

“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Kayakfari. The continuing mission to create strange new artworks, to seek out new campsites and paddling opportunities, to boldly go where no photographer hath gone before.”

(** cue theme music **)

.

ART of Darkness – Kayaking the final frontier of imaging and photography.

.

Camping with the Stars means going outside to experience the night as all the wild creatures of the earth do, or as closely as modern western society humans can. It is to step away from, and to go outside the world of people. It means to look up at the vast infinity above full of billions and billions of stars and feel humbled. It means to connect with the power of the infinite and transcend our daily, busy modern lives. It also means to stay up close and connected to the rhythms of the heavens and of the earth!

Enjoy the Universe!

The Daily Dose – Starshine and light pollution from the South Florida Megalopolis.

Scenes from

Outside the world of people.

Low clouds over Florida Bay delineate the stars and light pollution emanating from the Miami metropolitan area.

.

Eerie beauty reflecting the darkness of Everglades National Park.
ART of Darkness – Camping with the Stars! Part II

.

This is the light pollution arising from the lighting needs of millions people living in urban South Florida. The core density of these lights is about 75 to 100 miles away in this photograph. It’s a kind of “permanent dawn” on the horizon that also serves as a navigational aid out in Everglades National Park. Most of the time this is a kind of unavoidable annoyance that destroys the full darkness and wipes out stars.

Sometimes though the glow can be beautiful,

and then becomes it’s own subject! 😮
