The Milky Way rises from behind a large sea stack on the Olympic Peninsula.

I usually don't do a lot of night photography, but this was the scene just a few feet from our campsite so I really couldn't pass it up. This is probably the most visible I've seen the milky way to my naked eye.

Second Beach - Olympic National Park - La Push, Washington

I love the volcano resemblance. It looks like a heck of a wide angle.

Almost looks like a geyser is erupting stars into the night sky. Great shot Nate!

yeah, the light pollution is so bad, a lot of people have no idea how awe inspiring it is. My last true viewing was a couple weeks ago somewhere mid Kansas. I am kicking myself now for not stopping to take the shot...

Wow. This is such an amazing shot.
This is exactly how the sky looked when I'd go hiking. Such fond memories, so thank you for posting this.

See, I was thinking a butterfly net.

hmmm.. thats a good idea too!.. but i think the milky way will drain right through it.

StringOfLights In reply to Dani-Lefrancois [2009-08-29 03:05:07 +0000 UTC]

Really? Even those really fine mesh ones? I mean, we could do a vacuum cleaner if you want, but that's way less fun that a butterfly net...

Dani-Lefrancois In reply to StringOfLights [2009-08-29 03:11:29 +0000 UTC]

Ill use a wet/dry vac for the Milky Way.. and we can use the nets on the rest of the stars... deal?

nets cant hold liquids!

StringOfLights In reply to Dani-Lefrancois [2009-08-29 04:18:52 +0000 UTC]

But they can hold plasma, right? Because if so, we're in good shape.
