Silhouettes of five friends sitting together on a low wall

1 min read

Headed back to Bintan after a year and a half for another round of stargazing with friends. Caught the meteor showers again, definitely worth the zero hours of sleep. I spent the entire night looking up, then went straight for some trails and hung out with the local cats. That last shot of everyone on the beach just watching the sunrise? That’s the whole vibe of the trip right there.

Silhouettes of five friends sitting together on a low wall, watching a soft sunrise over the tidal flats.
A grainy, high-contrast shot of a person looking up at a brilliant Milky Way galaxy.
The sun breaking over a calm, orange-lit beach during low tide.
A black and white cat sitting on a trail path surrounded by tropical greenery.
A funny, close-up selfie angle of a white cat looking slightly grumpy.
A silhouette of a telescope on a tripod set up on the sand against a starry night sky.
Two fluffy rabbits hanging out in a sandy enclosure.
A tabby cat peeking out from the shadows under a wooden cafe table.
