A blood moon rose over Taiwan last year. During this terrible pandemic, a lot of people in Taiwan weren’t able to head out and admire the enchanting scene.
I went to my empty campus to capture the nature’s awe.

Contrary to some beliefs, the blood moon is not a sign of a certain meaning, it is simply an astronomical coincidence.
The blood moon is also called the total lunar eclipse. It happens when refracted red light from Earth’s atmosphere is reflected on the lunar surface, a similar phenomenon that causes sunsets and sunrise to be red.

The observatory in the foreground is run by the Astronomy Club at CYCU. Usually, when major astronomy events occur, the observatory will open and provide guided tours of the event.
However, due to the horrible pandemic, guided tours were not advised. Instead, they held a blood moon Livestream on that day utilizing the large reflecting telescope mounted inside the dome.

I love how the observatory faces the direction of the blood moon. Guiding the viewer’s eyes to the main subject of the scene. It can also be observed that some windows were lit.
There is a possibility that some people were busy during these trying times. I sincerely hope they at least had spare time to amaze at one of the nature’s most breathtaking shows.
After spending some years photographing astronomical events on campus, this is definitely one of the most extraordinary ones.

  Vagueness. Ambiguity. Lost the direction in the intersection. Very often, I keep questioning about my ability to move forward and make a big gesture.

Light gives me hope and strength to move forward.

Light guide me to go through the darkness path.

Daydreamer.

  The Cross Tower of CYCU had stood on our campus for more than 50 years, it is not only the symbol of CYCU but also a memory of the people who had lived here.

  Wandering in campus is an activity I do every day.
I always take my time over strolling unfamiliar paths, and with distinct perspectives, I often notice different appearance of Chung Yuan.

Place: Science Building II

  As for me, the sky is the most mysterious secret base.
Everyone is busy with their assignments. Thus, fewer students would put their heads back in order to look at the sky.
I am always immersing myself in the charming sky. Therefore, I will find a variety of landscape whenever I go see it.
I discovered that everything interacting with the sky will become a different landscape.

Especially, my favorite landscape is the trees combined with the sky. In this picture, I blended myself into the creative surroundings and left all distractions behind.
That tree seems as if it hopes that extends hardly in order to occupy the sky. And the sun is always supporting that tree silently. When spring comes, the tree is in full blossom.
In this way, that tree can conceal its true intentions. But when leaves and flowers fall, the truth will come out in the wash.
The tree disguised itself by borrowing colorful clothes from the sun cunningly. It goes without saying that it will give itself away.
As a result, the tree’s intention was found by me who observed carefully.

I adore observing nature. In my leisure time. Furthermore, I will wander in my university which is a place full of greenery. Consequently, I usually see the tree stretching its branch.
Maybe they are not only interested in occupying the sky but also desired for drawing student’s attention!

Place: Beside Huai En Hall

  Two separated trees that are longing to be together.
Gives out the feeling that they are calling each other.
Staying in the same place for a lifetime, watching each other grow together.
Just like your childhood friend that you used to play with together, watching each other mature together and eventually went their separate ways.
Although is separated by distance but is always close to the pulse of our hearts. Just like love that binds together two completely distant humans to be as one.
Just like air that binds together two distant trees to be one

Place: 圖書館的對面

  The location in the photo is behind the Huai En Hall, the oldest building on campus.

This new landscape art“泉源之谷”not only solves the problem of water accumulation for many years, but also has both aesthetic and environmental protection functions.
After rebirth, this space is suitable for people to stop and rest.So, why not sit in the shade and enjoy the view?
