The sight of the stars makes me dream

















Certain things always inspire a sense of awe and wonder, and the Milky Way Galaxy is one of them.  While out photographing the northern lights this past weekend I also got some nice shots of the Milky Way.  Around 2:00 AM the northern light activity was subsiding so I turned my lens to the south to photograph the stars.  The view was astounding.  I couldn't help walking out into the frame to make this self-portrait.  I think adding the human element into the scene helps convey that sense of wonder and amazement of the night sky.  If you don't take time to appreciate the night sky and all its wonders, I urge you to do so.  You won't regret it :-)
