    May 26, 2018 The last and best of my Moon set.It’s strange how much influence the moon has on the Earth and us Humans in general.Tides, the evening sky, the lunar calendar, the man in the moon, the theme for way too many romantic songs- the list goes on.The moon is there. Always. It looks…

    May 25, 2018. The second of 3 in my moon series.Half moon. Was shot yesterday from my bedroom window. It’s fasinating how the shadow of the sun influences the shape of the moon, and the brightness of it as well. The money depends on the sun to be seen, and we depend on the moon…

    May 24, 2018. While I have you guys looking up at the sky, I think I’d like to showcase some of my astrophotography.

    Contrasting Clouds

    May 23, 2018. The winds blew all the insane clouds away. Now we’re just left with heat. Dry, parching heat. For me it still beats the cold. In the midst if winter, it’s just so hard to do anything. You think twice about even leaving your bed in the morning.Summer, Sumer is good. Summer is…

I think…

    May 21, 2018The rains have been coming and going, each torrent come and we think it’s the last, but that’s not the case.Some people complain, saying it’s “supposed to be summer” and it’s “supposed to be warm”, but not me. I live for the rain.The only problem with this place, is that because there’s no…

    Smoke through the Country side.

    May 19, 2018. Another sight that would be strange in any other country.Millitary Tanks being Railroaded through the countryside. A sight unheard off in probably any other country. But that’s the thing about this place. Anything goes. And I love that. See how well they camouflage with the mountains?

    Temple on the hill

    May 18, 2018.An amazing lookout point, with an amazing backdrop to look at from afar and appreciate. I like this picture, it gives me a slight Wes Anderson vibe.Although I’m no where near that level of cinematography. Soon tho. Soon.
