A night in May
May 26, 2010 in Drinking in Nature
The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight. It was cool but without the usual chill of the night. I thought of going for a night walk but then a better idea flashed across my mind. I grabbed my camera, my tripod, the remote control and off we headed to the field, just the two of us. It was a totally different feeling to experience the streets and the open field in the dark of the night, devoid of the usual hubbub of the day happenings. It was almost too quiet aside from the chirping of some birds going about its night business.
After setting up the tripod and adjusting the angle to where I assumed is the north pole, I clicked the remote and let the camera do the rest. Gazing up into the clear, dark sky adorned with thousands of stars on a near-summer night, serenaded by some soft cheerful chirps of a faraway bird under the pale shimmer of moonlight, I felt peaceful and full of love.
