musiclike light permeates the space

music, like breeze soothes the soul

music, like fantasy captivates the mind

music, like waves caress the body

music, like thunder shatters the ego

music, like magic opens portals to other dimensions


This shot is from a lovely spot is nestled less than 100 kms away from the bustling Bangalore, by the forests of Kanakapura (or whatever is left of it). Stay late, it is great to spend time with the stars :)


As for the lighting, thanks to the handkerchief that helped diffuse the strong beam from my trusted HP7 coastline flashlight. To get the Milky Way core aligned was clambering on the ground to get the composition tick. In the end, it all came together. Hope it is an apt ode to JD under Milky Way :)


Had planned to visit this particular area last year with a friend. That never materialized because of you know who :) Accounting to the same, 2020 had not been great, even more so for travel. Then what can be said for night travel ?!


2020 had not been great for travel & photography. But as the year is coming to a closure, am glad our drive to Udupi, gave us the required rejuvenation by way of access to crystal clear nights & witness some of the showers :)


Set on a timer, this was captured as contiguous 177 shots spread over 45+ minutes. As for the processing ran the 177 shots through the (free) Creative Effects UI Photoshop script with Saucer effect. This could have been shot as a single exposure, but I always prefer smaller multiple exposures. It gives a lot more freedom around the creative processing :) How do u like it !


It is one thing to drive out to the county side in the dark of the night to enjoy the stars. But imagine a world where you could wait for the sun to go down the horizon, grab some coffee and just enjoy this celestial view.


In spite of all the noise, there is a connect when you are with the nature

In spite of all the chaos, there is a tranquil when you are with the cosmos

In spite of all the chase, there is a silence when you are with the stars


If the Cosmic Calendar makes you feel insignificant, the Life in Weeks Calendar, can help put things in perspective of how much time we really have, to make a difference. And it is up to us, to make it wonderful.


Cedar Keys, FL is one low key place that still holds secret spots where lights have still not polluted the gorgeous night sky. Being under the stars always brings in the feeling of being wonderfully insignificant and puts one one in a contemplative state. Starting 2018 with reflection and positive thoughts & Wishing you the best for the same too :)


It was quiet a place to take a walk. Unlike city, there were no harsh lights to showcase the stone road, just the light of the stars and the sounds of the night. On the left were close to a hundred cows, casually mowing the grass. Only after we crossed the field, were we able to see the light, at the front yard of this house. Just enough for them and not polluting the night sky. It was quiet a scene, literally !


A night under the stars always brings in thoughts of contemplation :) This was shot by the Wisconsin river late last year while chasing the Perseids. I love how a distant car left a trail over the distant bridge.

"Starscape (Part 1)" is the twentieth episode of the science fiction television series Starman, which is a follow-up to the 1984 film of the same name. It was directed by Claudio Guzman with a script written by an unknown writer. It first aired on ABC on Saturday, April 4th, 1987.


Paul Forrester recognizes his home star in a painting, and he and Scott search for the artist, Jenny Hayden. Separated in New Mexico, they both head for Arizona, where Paul finds his lost love but is not quite sure how to reveal his identity. Meanwhile, Scott Hayden's involved in a truck crash in an isolated area and saves the driver, not realizing the man is his uncle. (Wikipedia: Starscape (Part 1))


Space starscape backgrounds are breathtaking and awe-inspiring, capturing the grandeur of the night sky filled with countless stars. These backgrounds showcase a mesmerizing array of twinkling stars, from tiny pinpricks of light to brilliant, shining points, against the deep, dark expanse of space. Often featuring constellations, star clusters, and distant galaxies, starscape backgrounds highlight the infinite nature of the cosmos. The contrast between the radiant stars and the inky darkness of space creates a stunning visual effect that evokes a sense of wonder and exploration. Perfect for evoking the mysterious beauty of the universe, space starscape backgrounds provide a captivating and timeless visual experience.


Instead of using forums, maybe keep a dev channel in the main server where you just talk about some of the problems your facing or having with the community. It would reach a lot more people and change their perspective. which should in-turn help us connect more.


ao is a complex game being made by 1 guy with help pretty much only for visuals so i never expect huge updates, i personally felt burnt out around the dark sea update and when i came back for nimbus the game felt refreshing and the update felt large


i dont expect vetex to do this though, he already responds to pings in the patreon chat but its incredibly daunting to talk to a community as large as ao especially since the dedicated players are mostly pvpheads and the non dedicated players are mostly kids


Dividing zones for pvers and pvpers is actually a good way to prevent complaints. Starscape is even more harsh than AO due to loss of ships on death in unsecured and wild systems, but nobody complains.


Maybe vetex needs to go on a year long hiatus and fire all his staff, because the way I see it the more toxic memebers of starscape left when the future of the game, if it was even going to recieve updates was uncertain.


Q. Why is it that the bald, overweight or physically unattractive actors are always the first to die in horror or disaster films? Does this not reflect a subtle prejudice against those who don't look like Brad Pitt and Cindy Crawford? I knew as soon as I saw that bald guy that he would die, just as the overweight Newman from Seinfeld was doomed in the first Jurassic Film. (John Dempsey, WBEZ, Chicago)


A. The First law of Movie Economics states that the more you pay an actor, the longer he is in the picture. Stars get paid more that supporting players. Stars are usually more handsome than supporting players. Thus, what at first appears to be bias based on appearance is actually, you see, only good cost control.


Q. I read your review of "Speed 2: Cruise Control" and last night heard you discussing it on Letterman. You were bothered by the use of the word "now" as a computer command in response to the question "Time to initiate?" The word "now" has been used as an answer to "when?" since the 1970's, on UNIX systems in particular. I appreciate the fact that you are computer-literate, but unfortunately, on this occasion, you "missed the boat." (Abe Shliferstein, Bridgewater, NJ.)


Q. The advertisement for "Temptress Moon" boasts: "A Seductive New Film So Provocative It Was Banned In Its Own Country." Considering that its own country is China, that's not such a big deal. I wouldn't be surprised if "Herbie Goes Bananas" got banned in China. (Rhys Southan, Richardson, Texas)


Q. In your "Great Movies" re-review of "2001," you wrote: "I learn from a review by Mark R. Leeper that this was the first film to pan the camera across a star field: 'Space scenes had always been done with a fixed camera, and for a very good reason. It was more economical not to create a background of stars large enough to pan through'." The opening of 'Star Wars' is dramatic, but it is hardly the first film to pan across a star field. "2001: A Space Odyssey" used this technique extensively--most noticeably during the final scene, where the film cuts from a close-up of the monolith to a shot of a planet, then pans down (across a large star field) to the star child. (Steve Ankrom, Findlay, Ohio)


A. Mark Leeper's review appeared in the Internet., Contacting him, I learned he lives in Old Bridge, N.J., and he and his wife have run the Bell Labs' science fiction club for almost 20 years. He replies to Ankrom: "I suppose you are mostly correct, probably because my language was a little more loose than it should have been. What I was reacting to in 'Star Wars' was the fast (even dizzying) pan through what looks like 90 degrees or more of nothing but sky. In '2001: A Space Odyssey,' the camera does indeed pan. But it is a very limited pan. The camera always either follows an object or pans between objects which are close to the camera and in angle close to each other. The background has enough sky to support the camera movement. The background sky is never really the center of attention of the shot. I would guess that the camera does not pan an angle of starscape of more than ten or twenty degrees--a fairly small star field. They could have set up the scene with the camera panning considerably more and I would guess did not because the camera motions were slow and dreamlike and the viewer would end up gazing into empty space for a long time. Also prior to digital technology that much starscape would have been expensive to build."


Q. What's the latest scuttlebutt on Demi Moore? Even though "GI Jane" has been rescheduled and she's had a couple of bad films in the past few years, do you feel she is "box-office poison" as has been reported in the trades? (Bruce Maiman, Monterey, CA)
