Arbor Sub Astris

Cissbury Ring, Findon, West Sussex

A single tree stands on the ridge at Cissbury Ring, its silhouette fixed beneath arcs of light tracing across the sky. The star trails circle steadily, revealing the rotation that builds over time. The land stays quiet beneath it, with distant lights faint along the horizon. The tree holds its position against the movement above, giving the frame something constant as the sky continues to turn.
