We stood on the still shore of Freshwater Lagoon and watched. Car lights sped by on US Highway 101. Mars hung quietly in the clear sky. The Milky Way rose before us like a great pillar, and a satellite slowly crawled up its length. September 2, 2018 in Humboldt County, California.

Looking north toward Trinidad and Trinidad Head from Houda Point Beach, Humboldt County, California. This is actually a little west of north, as you can see from the arc of the star trails that the North Star, Polaris, would be above and to the right of this view. The star trails closer to the cloud layer appear to break up in places due to being partially obscured at times by the moving clouds. Like a skylight cover the cloud layer slid until the stars were replaced by grey. Same thing happened to my hair.

Inside the cave from the deep interior. it may look low at the camera's end, but it was tall enough for me to stand next to my tripod. That's my brother Seth and me down there, our shadows complementing the ceiling’s great cleft. Camel Rock is lit up red outside the entrance, illuminated by the headlights of a car up on the cliff behind us.

The Eel River glides between Redwood-covered hillsides under the night sky. I was there with a former student and her friend and we played with our cameras while we stood in awe of the night. There was even a shooting star, which I never saw until I examined the photographs later. Humboldt County, California.

Night Flees the Dawn as the brightening blue overtakes the Milky Way. Kneeland Road, Humboldt County, California. March 17, 2019.

A gnarled old tree stands silent sentinel through the long night as the world turns beneath the stars. Alderpoint Road, Humboldt County, California. August 26, 2016.

A moonlit oak tree watches the passage of the stars on their nightly journey across the sky near a country road in Humboldt County, California. March 2019.

Guardians of the Night. The full moon rises behind towering redwoods standing watch on the Avenue of the Giants. Humboldt County, California.

The celestial dance, of which we are such a minute part, continued above unperturbed by any considerations of us.
