2 Things Challenge: Abundant/Emptiness

The current 2 Things Challenge is Abundant/Emptiness. This is a spring time photo of the big dipper, along with a number of its neighborhood stars. You may have to look closely to pick it out, the handle starts above that darkest tree in the middle. Between here and there are a few things like those trees and the vapor trail, but mostly it's a vast expanse of abundant emptiness.

Oh don't get me wrong, Larry....I love your night time sky photo....you've really captured the stars as I see them. : ); December 3, 2010 at 5:13 PM
Eeyore said...: Yeah, Vivian, I agree there's a lot of God's stuff out there, but since the NEAREST star is about26,000,000,000,000 miles away (that's 26 trillion), it would be a while before we ran into any of it. Except of course the angels.; December 4, 2010 at 10:44 AM

Unknown said...: Great shot. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but astro-photography is something I don't do well. Thanks for sharing.; December 6, 2010 at 7:46 AM
