Image Details:

I am a woman who enjoys gathering lights from the dark!

With the frozen hands, cold face, and shivering body I was able to capture this IC 1805 or Heart Nebula. I have nothing to offer to my husband but the most beautiful deep red heart from the darkest sky of South Arizona, USA. As a photographer who loves to discover beauty of the dark sky the cold night is nothing for me as long as I can capture this beauty. My first Heart Nebula dedicated to my most loving, caring, and supportive husband James W. I Love You! You are the wind beneath my wings.
