My sister and I, not long after we moved here noticed how different the night sky was here from where we lived in SC. We started having nights where she and I would lay back the front two seats in the camaro and watch as the night sky declared it's vastness on us, through the tee top windows. Most of the times it was quiet, but some times we would listen to music or just talk about life in general.
Tonight I went outside and lay on my car to soak in the vastness of the night sky here in the rural Frederick County Maryland, alone, as my sister is away for the weekend. I went to lay down on my car and the motion light came on so I ended up laying in the driveway. Even though the light was on it seemed like there were immeasurably more stars in the sky than previous nights before this back in CLT. When the motion light finally went off, I remember thinking, how do you describe the vastness of the night sky in a rural area other than AWESOME: inspiring awe. It seemed like the more time that passed as I was gazing the more stars that came into view or that I thought I could depict against the black background.
I don't just stare at the stars, I ponder life, God, and my place in this Universe that He has created and given me the chance to live in. It's a great reminder of God as creator of the universe and to think that we are his most precious creation. Hard to believe he would choose us but, he does. I will leave you with this: Psalm 147, says "He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name."....Jaw dropping, right?!?!
I took pictures towards the end of sky gazing and that is what I have posted. These are not my first night sky shot's and will not be my last (still have much more to improve upon)
