A fishing boat and the last dying embers of the sun's orange glow marked the horizon. Ground lights spilled their illumations across the landscape and up onto the clouds, and the stars popped out in all their constellations. Venus was sinking in the west, bright enough to cast a reflection on the bay. Even a faint hint of Milky Way 🌌shone diagonally across the sky. Even EVEN our neighboring galaxy Andromeda 🌌 was visible above the channel marker with the green light on it. To cap it off, I caught a meteor/Shooting Star! 🌠(See it?).

Vacancy at 4th & E Streets, Eureka
Humboldt County, California For years, driving by, I would see her lonely figure sitting on the bench. I never stopped, but in time I grew used to her presence there, and I would look to touch base visually when I passed. Huddled inward and ...
Avenue of the Imagination
Avenue of the Giants, Humboldt County, California To what strange trip might this road lead? Ground level on the Avenue of the Giants, Humboldt County, California. No cars were out at 12:30 A.M. on this little rural road this Sunday evening, but ...
Milky Way over South Fork Eel River
