Seeing is easy. Understanding takes more time.

My name is Natalie. This is a random blog for me to post and reblog anything that interests me. Check out the pumpkin carvings my brother and I do at facebook.com/CarvedInKin

Translucent

Exploring the far reaches of sonic frequency with evolving atmospheric dynamics and aggressive bass lines.

Hello people of Tumblr. My brother is a music producer by the name of Meta Essence in the EDM community. He just released his 2nd music album, Translucent, and I would love for you to spread his name, and more importantly his music and good vibes.

“Suns! Moons! Stars! Yes!” The Great Conjunction on 12.20.20.

The day before the closest approach was the only opportunity I had to get this shot. Poor seeing conditions and couldn’t get proper focus due to atmospheric refraction. However, this is my “once in a lifetime” shot and only had about a 45 minute window to get this. Blend of 3 separate videos stacked of different exposures for each planet and Jupiter’s moons. Uncropped, this is how the planets were framed in the camera.
