Southern Sky
Once i got to the pier I saw it.. How glorious it was, and the lake even was open to the south. What did I see? The entirely foreign South Hemisphere late summer display of stars! I got out the star guide when I got home and drew in the coolest parts. An Arm of the Southern Cross points to the south pole. Barely visible, Proxima Centauri was found with much back and forth between the star guide and the sky. Eta Carinae is a star 100x larger than the sun that is about to erupt in a nova, its brightness has been increasing by a factor of five in the last 200 years.

Comment on Southern Sky
I grew up in a small town. I went to Uni. I started taking pictures afterwards in 2000. Several cross country road trips and 3 summers in the Sierra Nevada forced me to fall in love with the outdoors. In 2004 I began working full time, taking advantage of every free weekend and holiday while liquidating my yearly vacation for bigger trips to other countries. I especially love conifer forests and alpine mountains.
I'm currently taking pictures of Kids and Models, check out my Facebook page for details!
