Sanctuary Under a Sleepless Night

On still nights at Zealandia’s lower reservoir, the stars above never stop; they never sleep. This image stacks 143 short exposures to trace the flight path of the Earth as we spin through space, turning points of starlight into sweeping arcs above the sanctuary and their reflection below. The tower sits between sky and water, caught in place while these paths curve around it. This quiet corner of the city feels calm, yet the lines of light reveal how everything here stays in motion.
