Life's a Pretty Sweet Fruit

I mean I can never stop taking pictures of this…

another medievalish dragon, this one a bit more mosaic-like?

A bunch of my best comet shots from the other week, collected together. These were taken over a couple different nights up at Mushroom Rocks in Rocky Mountain National Park (elevation ~12,300).

You can see Venus in close to the horizon in quite a few shots. In the second, here, it's peeking out between the rock outcroppings. I really love the balance between the twilight/sunset colors and the brightness of the comet in that one.

Taking a long 4 minute exposure makes the mountains in the distance look so bright. And the moon was in its waxing gibbous phase, so it was very bright out, overall. No need for a headlight to see.

It was such a neat place to view from, with some really cool rock formations where two different layers of granite meet. Several really do look like mushrooms.

The ones with more clouds are the first night we were out, and the comet was a little dimmer (or seemed like it was) because it was lower down in the sky closer to the sun. This was also shot a little earlier to catch Venus, too.

The colors and clouds of the first night do add some near contrast, too. This first shot is more akin to what our eyes were seeing, as far as the brightness of the terrain and ground.

I collected a few more photos that include some non-comet sky stuff in another post, too. You can find it under my #astrophotography tag.

While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again

it looked like this

The imagery and vibes of this were so visceral I had to do art about it
