The Bird
"Freedom of flight is freedom of soul."
The flap of its wings
The sound of its song
The joy it brings
With the song it sings along
It lands on a limb
As light as air
The sunlight dim
Its feathers smoothing fair
It calls for its lover
She flutters through the sky
Around him she hovers
Like a graceful butterfly
She lands before him
With beauty and grace
Landing on a limb
He closes the space
The sun begins to set
The moon begins to rise
The moonlight reflects in her raven eyes
A gentle breeze goes through the trees
As they they begin
To take flight
Once more
The stars show through their feathers
And on their souls
As they soar together
Through the sky forever

THE RAREST OBJECT IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
In 1979, the English astronomer Fred Hoyle famously remarked that outer space would only be an hour's drive away if our cars could travel straight upwards. While technically true, the vastness of space makes it incredibly remote. For instance, it would take 400 billion hours for a car to reach the next star over. This remoteness limits our ability to study interstellar objects up close, but occasionally, the universe sends visitors our way.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
