Description

My first trip to dark skies with Hiro (my TakFSQ). This result is far beyond my expectations and may be my best image to date. I wanted to capture the lagoon and Triffid but also the surrounding neighborhood. The dark lane winding away I hadn’t noticed until processing, and now it’s the whole story of the image for me. I imagine a traveler taking a winding journey with small stops on the way to the promised Lagoon oasis in the desert.
