But the next evening was beautiful, and @morriganlynn and I celebrated in the moonlight with this image up on Bear River Ridge Road. Jupiter and Saturn show as the small, bright “star” on the horizon in front of Morrigan, too small here to see that they barely touch. I could see that Saturn had finally overtaken and passed Jupiter and was now to Jupiter’s right. December 22, 2020. Humboldt County, California.

Humboldt County, California. I hooked up with Dani Humboldt County, California.
I hooked up with Daniel McCauley ( @danscustommetals ) and his amazing kinetic crab monster of metal madness at the Eureka Waterfront... That's him in the cockpit wearing a mask of metal things welded together into a face. The crab’s legs move, the pinchers pinch (and snap together with a frightfully loud bang), the eyes glow, and I think that light colored tubing that outlines it also glows neon, but it wasn’t hooked up. It still makes a neat outline for the photo, though. He says it has looked awesome at Burning Man. Wouldn’t it?

Once upon a time while tripping around Humboldt Co Once upon a time while tripping around Humboldt County (except the Needle Rock Tree, which is just south of Humboldt). 

Really I just had to play around this morning, and made some changes and additions to a collage of Humboldt scenes I had made a couple years ago.

For a Detail, check the second pane for a closer look at a very Humboldty skyline around the moon… it’s one of the changes I made (spoiler alert: there is a reason that cannabis is one of the hashtags.) 

This is a composite image from several scenes around Humboldt County, with the tree from Needle Rock rock in northern Mendocino, not far south of Shelter Cove. That tree fell down decades or so ago; I took the photo of the tree before that... on film.

Back in the Day… @nazphvra2, aka MANIFEST, and I Back in the Day… @nazphvra2, aka MANIFEST, and I teamed up quite a bit to make photo art to accompany his music. 💿 album: NORTHYRN LYTES. This was from 2002.
.
The photo of the landscape and stars was from the early 1990’s, shot on film. It’s looking up through the collapsed ceiling of a lava tube in Modoc County, far northeastern California. The sky is magenta because the aurora borealis was particularly active that evening  and could be seen as far south as northern California. I didn’t realize the aurora was active when I began the photo. The stars are revolving around the north star, and the brightest stars are the big dipper. It was about a half an hour exposure.

The International Space Station flies by Comet C/2 The International Space Station flies by Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) above far Northern California’s Eel River and Redwood forests. Both tails are visible, especially in the second image. The ISS was a surprise. Swipe to see the scene without the Space Station. 
.

We can see both tails of this comet once it is dark enough, check the second image for a better view of it (it was a little later, a little darker). The bluer tail is made up of those sublimated gas particles, and is pushed out into space by the pressure of the sun’s energy. This tail will always point away from the sun, as it is carried away in the solar wind. The brighter, whiter or yellower tail is made up of the more solid debris, the dust and particle that slough off as the comet disintegrates in the sun’s energy.

Panorama at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, Hum Panorama at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, Humboldt County, California. 
So beautiful.

The Milky Way soars over Giant redwood trees across the meadow at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.

If your mind bends thinking you recalled the road as straight passing this area, you are correct. Lines are warped due to the extremely wide field of view, which covers fully 180º from left to right. Standing at the edge of the straight road, the left end of the image shows the road leading straight toward the bright light at my left, while the right end shows the road leading directly away from the lights to my right (note the shadows of my tripod and myself on the road to the right, cast by the lights on the left). The Milky Way rose from the southeastern horizon, and stretched across the sky to the northern horizon. Optically, capturing all of this and displaying it in a rectangle necessarily warps straight lines. Photographed on June 10, 2020, at about 12:30 in Humboldt County, California.

The lights of Ferndale glow as a pot of gold at the end of the Milky Way’s arch, where the core of our galaxy rises above the horizon.

This is a “Re-mastered” edition for color and tonal balance. Altering it means that owners of prints of the previous version now have prints of a limited “Edition I” (1). This is “Edition II” (2), in which I mostly adjusted the sky color and tonal balance, with minor adjustments to color or tone elsewhere.
.

Want a postcard of this image? I donated this and several other images to the Humboldt Redwoods Interpretive Association, and you can find postcards of them at the Visitors Centers along the Avenue of the Giants south of Weott and at Richardson Grove south of Garberville. They’re incredibly cheap! I’ve forgotten the price, but I was amazed at the deal (under $2.00…maybe even less than $1.00. I forgot. But that’s a great deal either way!). The HRIA set the price and they get all the profits from the postcards.
.

I sell enlargements separately; message me about that, or email me through my website: https://mindscapefx.com .

This image is two photogrpaphs put together: the foreground redwood trees and Avenue of the Giants were photographed in the afternoon on about July 7-ish, 2017; the sky was photographed on July 27, 2017 from my family’s property in southern Humboldt.
