Snapped this under the stars in FairPlay, Colorado—and for a minute, it felt like the universe stopped spinning just to let us look up. Zero noise, no light pollution… just the Milky Way putting on a show.

Harvest Moon rising like a boss over the Iowa State Capitol back in 2018. The kind of night that makes you stop, stare, and wonder if the universe was showing off just for Des Moines.

Caught this fiery sunset just outside of Ames tonight—proof that even a routine highway drive can throw you a front-row seat to nature’s flex. No filters, no fuss… just a reminder to glance west once in a while.
