#skyscape
Graceful #star #trail arcs reflect #planet #Earth's daily #rotation in this colorful #night #skyscape.
Taken in #time-lapse from the shores of the Ashokan Reservoir in the Catskills region of New York, USA, the North star #Polaris is near the center of the star trail arcs. The broad trail of a waxing crescent #Moon is on the left, casting a strong reflection across the reservoir waters. With intense solar activity driving recent geomagnetic storms, the colorful aurora borealis or northern lights, rare to the region, shine under Polaris and the north celestial pole.
Sheep Meadow
Still green more than autumnal-red. And behind this fabled field (many historic events, concerts, etc.), is "the new" and garish Central Park South skyline, now featuring these tall, ugly, intrusive "needle towers".
Much more photography of New York, from "vintage" to today, @ http://www.fenichel.com/NYNY
