Fleeting Encounter – Jupiter & the Winter Sunrise (2025) 摄影 由 Sanzhi Chieh

Fleeting Encounter – Jupiter & the Winter Sunrise – A Celestial Alignment-Limited Edition.
Captured time: February 15th around 7AM,2025.
Location: Beihai Coast, Taiwan.

Captured in the early morning light of February 15, 2025, along the coastal mist of Sanzhi, Taiwan, this rare photograph presents a fleeting moment—Jupiter and the rising sun sharing the sky.

As winter mist softened the first light of dawn, Jupiter remained visible for a brief window before the sun’s brightness overpowered everything. Within minutes, the planet disappeared into daylight, leaving behind only the memory of its presence.

This black-and-white series is an artistic meditation on the impermanence of celestial beauty, a reminder that some of nature’s most extraordinary moments exist only for those who pause to witness them.

This moment is more than just a scenic landscape—it connects to ancient celestial beliefs. In Chinese mythology and astrology, planetary alignments like "Seven Stars in a Row" are seen as powerful omens, symbolizing transformation, destiny, and harmony between heaven and earth. While this image captures just one star—Jupiter—its presence alongside the sunrise evokes the mystery of the cosmos and the long-standing belief that celestial bodies influence the world below.

The interplay of light and shadow, the vastness of the sky, and the stillness of the land create a meditative atmosphere. This photograph invites the viewer to reflect on nature’s silent messages and the timeless connection between the heavens and the earth.
