By day nature is wondrous, and by night nature is breathtaking (both literally and figuratively). When I photograph nature by day I am taken with amazing features and phenomenon that I can easily comprehend my scale and place. When I photograph nature at night, under a blanket of infinite stars, I am reminded how astonishingly vast our Universe is and how incredibly small, fragile and special our world is. It is in these moments that I am reminded how important my photographic efforts are to not just see the beauty of our world, but to translate how special this beauty is to anyone who happens to look upon it.

This is an incredibly beautiful image, Jim, and it has really inspired me to try more nighttime photography. I have been using your photos for some time as a source of instruction and inspiration. Keep on shooting and posting! Thanks…. Gregg
This is beautiful art work! I imagine myself underneath the beautiful countless stars. It’s really breathtaking view. You are blessed with wonderful talent. I am expecting more photos from you in the future.
