Showing the way Www.instagram.com/akyriaz I instantly loved this Sidr tree, somewhere 70km south of Abu Dhabi! Thise branches shouted at me for star trails! The trails are highly dashed, due to so many passing clouds. #startrails #tree #astrophotography #desert #abudhabi

The docks of the Arsenale II A setting Sun, a clear afternoon sky, a chill October day, exploring the Biennale of Architecture 2021 and then..the contrast, the mirroring sea, the arcades, the industrial skyline... the Arsenale docks is a timeless monument. #venice #architecture #shadow #photography

Detail from the Louvre Abu Dhabi. A small gap between volumes with the Zayed Port at the background and beautiful vlouds. Such gaps bring light within the exhibit corridors. The volumes resemble the organic arab urbanism. #abudhabi #architecture #photography

King Fahad National Library Back to Riyadh and the beautiful KFNL: originally designed and built on 83-90 and then extended by Gerberarchitekten in 2013. Strong corner geometries that the intricate yet ethereal shading system creates. #architecture #photography #riyadh #library

The planets' parade! It's not really an alignment you know. This is a 360° pano at the Rub Al Khali desert, 100km south of Abu Dhabi. On the little planet projection, the winter Milky Way makes an X with the ecliptic and the visible zodiacal light. Canon Ra, Sigma Art 14mm f/1.8 at 25sec, iso6400.

Comet hype is back. The C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan Atlas comet is now on its way back to the distant, icy edges of our solar system. Last November, its tail was decorating the milky way backdrop, as it passed from Ophiuchus to Aquila. Canon Ra, Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4 #astrophotography #comet

Nasr City, Cairo. I visited Cairo last October (as I was an invited speaker at the #wuf12 of #unhabitat), I urban-walked across Nasr City. What i love is those urban voids, those fronts and boundaries challenged by time and people. Highways, fences, bridges. Beauty in the decay.

Horsehead with a Quadrantid meteor! This is the famous Horsehead nebula (B33, IC434), the Flame nebula (NGC2024), the bright star Alnitak and others. The cherry on top is a small Quadrantid meteor, accidentally caught in one of my frames. Total integration time: 4.50hrs. #astrophotography

This is my first bluesky post. So it should be apropriate. It's my goodbye to comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan Atlas. The Rub Al Khali desert and its heroic trees were able to enjoy a true show! Venus and of course the Milky Way are also there!
