12.15.2021 7:05pm One single long exposure shortly after sunset can capture a lot in 8 seconds: Venus is the brightest at low right, preparing to set as a tiny meteor flashes nearby and Saturn, Jupiter and ISS are seen moving up diagonally from the lower left to upper right.
This is the "Once in a lifetime" Comet Leonard preparing to set over the Gulf of Mexico along with the brilliant light of Venus. Captured in a single exposure immediately after sunset on the beaches of 30A. 2021
As I shot this very early in Milky Way season this year, I stood and wondered for a long time about the people who might have sat on what used to be a beach front screen porch and watched the Gulf and beautiful stars every night. This old house is forgotten, by most, but not by me.
