Taken during a recent trip to The Blue Mountains, and somewhere around four or five hours after the previous photo I shared, though in a different area.
I hadn’t done astrophotography in a long time and it’s something I’ve been meaning to try again so I got around to doing so on this particular trip. However, most of the photos didn’t turn out, but this one did.
This is my submission into the two hundred-and-ninety-ninth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Hopeful“.
Seeing the natural, or at least ideas of the natural do make me feel hopeful. I have friends that also leave me hopeful, but the more I see and the more I see not enough being done to preserve and restore habitats and the environment, the harder it is to remain hopeful.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Patti is curating this one. Next week Leya is curating.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.

Yes, sometimes it is hard to see hope around us. Thank goodness for nature, so sometimes show us the way. Did you see the Northern Lights?

Great photo! I’ve tried my hand at astrophotography as well, so I know of the difficulties in creating useful images. It is a special genre of photography that requires an advanced skill set. Nice work!
