Description

For once, I present an artistic version of a deep sky image (starless, artificial color) inspired by the work of Peter Ward, awarded this year in the "Astrophotographer of the Year" competition.

I feel NGC 6188 nebula has a strong symbolic significance.

First of all, the World which seems to be going up in flames: the Amazon and its biodiversity which are burning, California fires whose fumes have crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Europe , without forgetting the bush fires in Australia ...

But also the wars of Men who, by striking to spread terror, risk increasing divisions...

Last but not least, this makes me think to the Balrog demon from the Lord of the Rings ;)

I sincerely hope for a more positive tomorrow and wish you all to experience this very special period as well as possible!
