"Stellar" – a photograph that truly captures the essence of Big Sur's mystical beauty. I was on a camping surf trip with friends and we stumbled upon this location. It was a night like no other and the scene was set perfectly – a lone tree standing tall against the backdrop of a sea of fog, illuminated from beneath by the soft glow of the Lume Cube, while the moon cast its gentle light over the foreground. And above it all, the Milky Way stretched vertically, its stars twinkling in perfect alignment with the tree.
 
As I set up my gear, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation building in the air, the kind that comes only when you're about to witness something truly extraordinary. With each click of the shutter, I felt like I was capturing a piece of magic – the way the light played off the fog, the way the tree seemed to reach up towards the heavens, the way the Milky Way shimmered overhead. It was a moment of pure serenity, and I felt honored to bear witness to it.
 
As I packed up my gear and made my way back to civilization, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had just experienced something truly special. "Stellar" wasn't just a photograph – it was a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us, if only we take the time to look up and appreciate it.
