Worm's-eye view from floor level of an abandoned observatory dome in a desert landscape, the lens a few centimetres above the ground and tilted up. The rusted metal structure is covered in patches of bright green moss and a tangle of thick green vines that snakes up the rusted telescope tube. The main telescope aperture is open to the sky, revealing a sharp, vibrant image of the Ring Nebula through the lens. The interior of the dimly lit dome is illuminated by the cosmic glow from the open aperture. A bird's nest is built in the corner of the dome's interior, near the control panel. The very low horizon places two thirds of the frame as sky or ceiling, emphasizing the height of the dome. Orange sodium streetlight at night casts a warm glow on the lower sections of the dome, while everything outside its reach remains in deep blue shadow. Shot on an instant film camera, the small square frame features soft colours and a slight vignette, with the chemical grain and light leaks typical of polaroid media adding texture to the scene.
