Breaking Free

 










The Milky Way tries to break free from the clouds obscuring its view in the early morning hours of August 14, 2020. When I first started making photographs on this night, I was a bit disappointed at the cloud cover.  Once I realized how fast the clouds were moving, however, I decided it could still make for some very cool photos. 

The Milky Way kept revealing itself with these little glimpses through gaps in the clouds. I kept thinking... the clouds have it trapped... clear up and let it be free!  Which eventually it did do. When the clouds started dissipating they did so rather quickly and all of a sudden the Milky Way was shining brightly in the sky, lighting up the night.
