Astral Nights

astral night magic
endless stars glowing above
my heart sings with joy

This amazing photo is from Brendon Cremer, a wildlife photographer who leads photographic tours in Africa. I would love to go on an African safari to see the great herds of animals. I’ve had a fascination with lions and Africa ever since watching the TV show Wild Kingdom as a child. And what a treat to see a night sky like this photo. Wowza!

Beautiful. Ahhhhh “Wild Kindom” with Marlin Perkins. You’re to young to remember that show, lol.

Lovely image and poem, Brad! The African sky is so dark that the stars seem to ‘hang’ like little lights š I hope you will experience it one day.
