Digital Color - October 2006

Photo Info

This is the power line tower just near my house. It is on this little hill connecting one side of the block to the other, and there are only peoples back fences facing the street. It is always dark there, and traffic little enough to set my tripod up and make long exposure photographs in the middle of the road. The place for whatever reason always has a kind of mystery to it. When you walk over the hill, the starry night sky seems to open up as this tower rises above you. The October night sky is something magical and Cosmic to me.

Near the very top edge, where the tower seems to point towards, there are three stars making the slightest of an ark. Just to the left of the left most star of these three (behind the two power lines so close together) is where you would find the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest of our galactic neighbors at a mere 17,047,649,500,000,000,000 miles away, or 2.9 million light years.
