My fire season is finally over, and I am headed home. But I had to stop in one of my favorite places for a couple of nights.

Beauty in nature is so healing. So is outer space. There is nothing better to put the pettiness of the human world in perspective than immersing oneself in knowledge or images of Universe.
Thanks again. Truly a breathtaking image.
