Bump, fantastic photos as always @Curt ! Love it.

Here’s Venus setting over the Sand Hills, Arizona strip. More photos will follow one day this winter, when Rick gets them processed. We had some lovely dark nights.

first Milky Way shot of the year. After weeks of storms and cloudiness, the last Milky Way window for me opened last night before I move to Washington.
I always wanted to take a Milky Way shot of my favorite tree on Kolob Terrace Road, so I made it happen.
It was a bit eerie because 100 pairs of eyes in the meadows were looking at me. There was a herd of deer resting in the meadow and I stirred them up a bit.

another night out at Mount Saint Helens
I love the fog in the low valleys

what an amazing night with the Milky Way and bioluminescence at Second Beach in the Olympics
I'm still totally in awe!!
I always wanted to see the blue-glowing algae at night

I did one of my most wanted night sky photo shoots last night. I always wanted to get an image of the Milky Way and Mount Rainier.
I finally made it happen
It was pretty hazy with all the wildfire smoke but luckily the wind shifted a bit for a great outcome

I stayed up past bedtime on my first night in Yellowstone to watch a moonlit eruption of Grand Geyser.

On my way back to the cabin for the night I noticed a bison in front of Old Faithful. I could tell OF was close to an eruption by the pre-play, so I waited around and was able to get a couple shots of him grazing with Old Faithful in the background at midnight.

That bison in front of Old Faithful is super cool
