The centre of the concentric trails is the point in the sky directly above the earths Celestial Pole, (South Pole in the southern hemisphere, North Pole in the northern hemisphere.) The colours of the trails reveal the variety of colours and distances from the Earth of the planets and stars. 24th Feb, 1993

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Star trails over cacti" beautifully captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of star trails through long-exposure photography. The image showcases the intricate lines of light created by the stars as they move relative to Earth's rotation during an 8-hour period. At the center of these concentric trails lies the celestial pole, directly above Earth's North or South Pole depending on one's hemisphere. What makes this photograph truly remarkable is not only its depiction of celestial motion but also its ability to unveil a stunning array of colors and distances from our planet. The various hues showcased in these trails reveal both the diversity and proximity of planets and stars in our vast universe. Taken on February 24th, 1993, this print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with astronomy and cosmology. It reminds us that even amidst arid landscapes adorned with resilient cacti, there exists an awe-inspiring cosmic dance occurring above us every night.
