Jaw-Dropping Views of Night Sky and Earth Win Photo Contest

Eye-popping images of celestial wonders shining over equally stunning Earth views have won the top spots in the 2013 International Earth and Sky Photo Contest, competition organizers say.

Image 2: The overall contest winner and first prize in the Beauty of the Night Sky category goes to Stephane Vetter of France (nuitsacrees.fr), for his March 2013 panoramic photo “Sky above Godafoss” of aurora and the Milky Way over the “Waterfall of the Gods” in Iceland. Credit: Stephane Vetter

Image 3: Fifth place in the Against the Lights category goes to “Golden Gate Star Trails” by Rick Whitacre. A well-done photo sequence has captured star trails above the lights of San Fransisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Credit: Rick Whitacre

The contest, the third annual event held by the landscape astrophotography group The World at Night (TWAN), aims to raise awareness about the importance of dark skies free of light pollution. It honors photos that show both the Earth and sky in all their glory.

I’ve been organising and packing up all of my things that have accumulated over the past 7+ years. I have too many things…but they have sentimental value and I just don’t have the heart to get rid of anything. 

That may sound like I am a terrible hoarder, but I can assure you that I am not. Most of things are furniture and books, and little knickknacks. Also a box of old cards from birthdays, holidays, and the like. :]

While conversing today, even though we are speaking the same language, what people say sometimes seems so foreign to me.

A) these boots were made for walking…I really like my outfit today (wish I could show the whole thing).

B) lovely scenic train ride back to Rochester for my ‘farewell tour.’

C) getting some excellent reading in on the train ride in my cozy business class seat. [Thank you ever so for the brilliant recommendation, Major Tom!]

Later, a complimentary gin & ginger ale and a cigar. Love traveling business class on this damn train. :]
