Star Trails Spin Over Songshan Ruined Tower in beneath a moon-washed horizon near Songshan, Taipei

Star Trails Spin Over Songshan Ruined Tower

by Beverly Ortiz

Moonlight washes the jagged silhouette of a medieval stone tower against a deep indigo sky. The structure stands isolated near Songshan in Taipei, its weathered masonry glowing faintly under the pale lunar beam. Above, long exposure photography captures concentric arcs of starlight curving across the frame, showing celestial motion frozen in time. A thin atmospheric haze softens the horizon line where the night meets the distant hills. The ruins anchor the lower third of the view, their rough texture against the smooth, endless sweep of the cosmos. One shadow stretches across the foreground stones, at the base of the ancient structure in the cold, quiet expanse.
