A shot i was glad my wife was not about to see how steep and how small the area was to even get close . Biggest part was to get the tripod to stand it was so steep but the true Bonsai could not go unrecognised in the stars. do open large.

My street tree in the front of our house. started 14 years ago from the normal Chinese Elm the council planted in our area. while not perfect i tried to work with what i have. there is no other tree in the whole area that is the same always creates a lot of looks. the branches are being trained in a certain position hence the ropes to hold them. only can bring you this shot now with a 14mm lens because of the fence in the front of our yard.

Dark Night Bow

First ever try at a multi row shot of the Milky Way Bow, nothing auto about this all done on manual head. Enjoy this 1/5 the size of the original. Lighting was not perfect in this shot worth a look at the larger version. More learning gives this better version.

single row version from the same shots.

The question is it worth travelling out into the real Darkness, this experiment in the city light loom but looking away due west and hidden from the lights you can see the sky still shows the effect of light. to the left Mandurah and the Right is the Kiwinana industrial strip where the rock got its lighting from. Better out in the Blackness more detail.
