See the inspiring photo at: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130211.html
El Dragon rides the night
Spewing stars in flight


Mists of dusty veils
Illumine well its realm


An azure gleam expands
Across the heavenly band


Its destination's sure
Its motivation pure


To carry forth the dream
To ride the astral stream


Across eternity's span
Beyond the stretch of "can."


Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Loved the last line to tie it all together!
Just look at how beautiful, and then to imagine how unbelievably far away they are . . .

Wow ... and they call it "Big Bang!" --- fat chance I say!

Thanks, jwesley!

Yah, in the realm of 'accidental." However, I have no doubt that when He said, "Let there be light!" I doubt the result was quiet.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

It certainly does look a dragon Virginia.
These photos are unbelievable. Good job.
