Meditating under the light of Jupiter

Photo by Stefan R. Nilsson of Digitaliz.se.

Jupiter is drifting into the sunset glare in late October and early November. It’ll be gone until the final days of 2018, moving behind the sun from our earthly vantage point. Stefan Nilsson caught Jupiter a few weeks ago, when it appeared higher in the western sky after sunset. He wrote:

Place of solitude – meditating under the light of Jupiter.

This is an outdoor meditation place located in Backåkra Naturreservat, Skåne, Sweden.
