Hi. Long time no post. I hope everyone is doing well.

I've got some catching up to do on the edits. Here is one from last year. I miss doing astro.

Here are the fireworks that I saw Thurs night/Friday morning.

I have edited my milky way pics to make them more "graphically appealing" in the past. This time I'm showing you something closer to what I saw in person. I tried to be more journalistic, and yet still used the camera to see the sky better than I could with my own eyes.

Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times"
