Milky Way over Hawksbill Crag

Hawksbill Crag or Whitaker Point is probably the most-photographed spot in Arkansas, but not many venture out at night to see it under the stars. This was a bitterly cold night in March, when the Milky Way would be arching more horizontally over the sky, and it was truly a sight to behold.
