Alexander the Great of Macedon has died! Fallen prey to an ailment. Foul play cannot be ruled out, so we must proceed cautiously, and handle the geopolitical fallout in a cool manner. Be cool.

Shooting the stars is always nice, especially in areas of North Florida. We have great dark skies with very little light pollution along the coast. We used a big LED panel with an amber diffuser to light up the scene. #photography #astrophotography #milkyway #EastCoastKin #stars #milkyway
