Spiral Galaxies

Leaf 316 – Reflections

 



Astronomy has always fascinated me, ever since I was a young boy, but sadly I’ve spent most of my life living in places which are far too light-polluted to really get the best out of it as a hobby.

 

 

Vast spiral galaxies –

points of light slowly spinning,

eyes lost in the night sky.
