✨ When the stars look at each other ✨

- "Mr. Lake, am I the most beautiful Starry Sky that exists in the eyes of living beings?"
- “No, you are not the most beautiful.”

- “Mr. Lake, what have I done to deserve this?”
- “My Heaven, you don’t have to DO things to exist or feel important in the eyes of others.
You don't have to Make Heaven perfect.
You just need to be consistent with your beliefs.
Being fully instead of Doing and there, my Heaven, you will be the most beautiful."

- “But, Mr. Lake, why is the Head of the Toillies seen so much in your reflection?”
- “My Heaven, she is me, it’s a long story.
She simply remained herself, raw, without worrying about how others looked at her. Just like the stones and flowers that surround me.
They are all themselves and that is why living beings love them.
In their eyes, they are perfect."

To finish this first part of the marathon, I share with you this photograph of the upper lake of the Blanchet lakes.
It's 4:00 a.m., I get out of my sleeping bag after not having managed to sleep, only dozing. 😴
I walk 10 minutes to arrive at this magnificent lake lit by the Moon and accompanied by the starry winter sky.

The atmosphere was special. The environment felt like both asleep and awake. No wind, no noise. I felt both anxiety and wonder.
When I looked up to the sky, I was hypnotized.
But I had to return to Earth for a few moments to take my photos before the Moon was too high in the sky.

What have I done to deserve such a spectacle?
No idea but I fully savor each of these moments. ✨

Let's dream,
Jeff

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
