A alegria triste dos poetas - Vinicius de Moraes

É melhor ser alegre que ser triste...
 
Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe.

Vinicius de Moraes

The stirring sky included stars circling the South Celestial Pole and a meteor streaking across the image right. The above 270-image composite was taken from King Kong Hill in mid-June over two hours, with a rising Moon lighting the landscape.
