Where the Night Meets the Light

Where the Night Meets the Light captures a breathtaking moment at Bodie Island Lighthouse, where the Milky Way arcs overhead in perfect harmony with the beam of one of North Carolina’s most iconic lights. Taken just before midnight, this image reveals a rare alignment between the natural and the man-made — a lighthouse built to guide sailors, now glowing beneath a galactic tide of stars.

The towering arc of the Milky Way stretches from horizon to horizon, with the dense galactic core glowing near center frame. This luminous band, made up of hundreds of thousands of stars, clusters, and nebulae, rises behind the lighthouse like a cosmic backdrop, while faint hues of airglow ripple across the sky — a reminder of the invisible forces at work in our atmosphere.

Grounded in history and reaching into space, this photograph is a quiet meditation on guidance, time, and perspective — where the light we build meets the light of the universe itself.
