14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Milky Way over Bear Lake
It took 4 hours of driving, 3 hours of shooting, 2 laps around the lake, and 1 very muddy step to get this image of the Milky Way over Bear Lake. It was taken toward the end of the astronomical twilight, which explains the blue hue in the sky.
