Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho

Idaho Milky way at Stanley Lake

When you are in the clear air of the high mountains of Idaho you cannot help to spend some time gazing at the Milky way. Where there are no city lights and thin atmosphere you can see so many of the stars that make up our galaxy. For this shot, I took it over Stanley Lake with the distant ridge as only a shadow. If you look closely you will see other galaxies with our, of course they are beyond
