Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (280):
Astrofest 2022 (4)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem-essay) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
In the last part of the event, I ran to the nearby lake to catch the sunset, but a band of eastern clouds sent me back to the park.
Here, the Moon guided me to a folklore show, to the telescopes of the Bucharest Astroclub and of the Urania Association, to the astroart poster of the Bucharest Astroclub-Junior (where I saw the debut astropoets of SARM, Radu Moroeanu and Luminita Tudor), and to the stand of SARM (where I greeted its heroic service team).
And finally,
while the majority of the visiting public
preferred safe travel by telescope
in the mountains, seas and craters of the Moon,
I preferred (as a self-respecting cosmopoet)
risky trips through my camera
to the big stars of the moment,
Capella and Arcturus.
