TC: Les Etoiles

.





Orion Nebula (M42 / NGC 1976)
: image made in 2006 from Hubble Space Telescope observations taken between 2004 and 2005 (NASA / ESA / M. Robberto)






These globes of gold, islands of light,
sought by the eye in dreams,
flash up from fugitive shadow
glittering dust on the roads of night,

and the breath of evening dying

blows them away

Hey Nin, great to hear from you, lost way up here in space on Orion where angels and everyone but Roy Batty fear to tread!
