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.
Single long exposure of the Milky Way high over a Gulf thunderstorm.
