Nice photos. I remember one night I was laying on the pebble stones in Madam martha bay. its in one of the prince island in istanbul. I was camping in the bay. Got lazy to open the tent and I was tired. It was after sun set and the sky was very clear. Very similar to your second photo. I remember was laying in the pebbles and thinking about my place in the universe. Those pebbles in the beach carried here by the sea, their life and mine intersect each other in that very moment. The pebbles might be 4.6 billion years old as well as those stars in the sky. It's really impossible to look at a stary night and not lost in thoughts.
