Celestial Visitor Over Stillwater
A quiet lake lies motionless under a velvet sky, its surface mirroring the dark pines and a halo of reeds lit softly along the shore. Above this hushed scene, a lone comet drifts across the stars, its pale tail etched delicately through thin, moonlit clouds. The photograph captures the meeting of two worlds: the slow, grounded life of water and forest, and the fleeting passage of a distant traveler in the heavens. Time feels stretched here—the glassy reflection, the gentle glow on the grasses, the silent arc of the comet—inviting the viewer to pause, breathe, and remember how small and wondrous our place is beneath the sky. Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)
