"Inhale the fragrance of the night … "

“Sometimes all you need to do is just hold on to yourself! Look at the stars in the sky, listen to the sweet murmurings of the breeze, inhale the fragrance of the night, and you will feel fine!” 
―  Avijeet Das

Well, you don't have to inhale … hopefully, just looking will bring a high.

And as you inhale the fragrance of the night, listen to the music of the night....

Really pretty amazing technique!

The tower looks man made-- do you know what it was?

Desert View Watchtower , also known as the   Indian Watchtower at Desert View , is a 70-foot (21 m)-high stone building located on the South Rim of the   Grand Canyon   within   Grand Canyon National Park   in   Arizona ,   United States . The tower is located at Desert View, more than 20 miles (32 km) to the east of the main developed area at   Grand Canyon Village , toward the east entrance to the park. The four-story structure, completed in 1932, was designed by American   architect   Mary Colter , an employee of the   Fred Harvey Company   who also created and designed many other buildings in the Grand Canyon vicinity including   Hermit's Rest   and the   Lookout Studio . The interior contains murals by   Fred Kabotie . [3]

Interesting information-- thanks.

I've been to Arizona, but only the southern part-- visiting friends live in Tucson, and I've been to Sedona twice (long ago I did a weekend workshop at Enchantment Resort, a very luxurious resort in Sedona-- about 10 years later visited Soda with my friend from Tucson). But I never got to the Grand Canyon.

Actually one of the first things I thought of when seeing your version of the picture was that it would look great on an album cover (a music CD...if anyone still buys CDs anymore that is). Or a book about mysticism.

(Does anyone read books any more? Wink )

(Buzz raises his hand.}  I'm presently reading The Kill List, by Frederick Forsythe.

From Wikipedia:

The Kill List is a novel by Frederick Forsyth published in 2013 by Random House. The story concerns the response to murders by Muslim radicals. A number of random mid-level authority figures in the United States and Great Britain are brutally murdered by Muslim extremists, all of whom seem to have been radicalized by the online sermons of a mysterious veiled man known only as "the Preacher". Perplexed by his unknown origins and his flawless command of the English language, the U.S. government soon places him on the Kill List, a list approved by the President and his senior advisors of individuals who are to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Such beauty!

I often wish we could go outside and see the cosmos better, as seen in telescopes...  These combinations really fuel my imagination!

Wonderful job!
