outdoorsanctuaries: (via Beauty in Everything - Photography) Because it’s breathtaking, OKAY? Also, this couldn’t be seen with the naked human eye, I’m pretty sure (timed exposure, right?).  So, photography is helping us see our own world, the one that’s always been home to humanity, in new ways even after all these centuries.  Cameras are a new kind of eye with access to planes of reality that have always been there, waiting.  I love that.

littlehouseontheprisonfarm: I need to live where I can see this. One day. In serious withdrawal from being able to see stars at night…aren’t there any neighborhoods where you can’t have lights on outside? Stupidass safety concerns. There is a neighborhood like that!  Sadly, it is the fictional Village of the Watermills from the eighth and last dream in Akira Kurosawa’s film Dreams. Young Traveler: There’s no electricity here? Old VIllager: Don’t need it.  People get too used to convenience, they think convenience is better.  They throw out what’s truly good. Young Traveler: But what about lights? Old Villager: We’ve got candles & linseed oil. Young Traveler: But night’s so dark. Old Villager: Yes, that’s what night is supposed to be.  Why should night be as bright as day?  I wouldn’t like nights so bright you couldn’t see the stars. I miss the stars too, they seem so sparse & lonely when seen from our cities.  And the aurora borealis, well, that’s still on my list.

near Maupin, Oregon, USAphoto by Ben Canales Hiking through Tiger Leaping Gorge last winter, the night sky looked like this.  Unimaginably full, alive with stars.  Outside the bubble of electric city lights, out where the Abrahamic covenant was made.
