Over Labor Day week-end myself and several friends were back in the Eastern Sierras. I love it over there. This time we ventured further south.
We spent our evenings photographing the stars. This image I made on our last night there.
I caught a shooting star above Mars, and Saturn is the bright star in the center of the Milky Way’s Dark lane about even with the top horizontal rung on the windmill. I didn’t know I had managed to catch the shooting star in my frame until I got home and uploaded my images.
The light pollution on the horizon is coming from the town of Bishop I believe.
I hope you’re all having a great week! Yeah, halfway to the week-end!

Wow !! Night Photography is very beautiful….at least your images are very beautiful.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment!
This is a beautiful capture, Deborah! I love the night sky. I grew up in a place dark enough to see millions of stars and gaze upon the Milky Way. As a child, I dreamed of being an astronomer and was forever asking for a telescope. This photo makes me long to visit a place like that again. 🙂
It took me a while to locate the shooting star, but I eventually did. Gorgeous, gorgeous photo, Deborah!! I’m just in awe of the Milky Way and combined with a windmill, it looks just amazing!
The windmill reminds me of the Midwest. Wonderful shot. 🙂
Thank you so much Judy! xx
Oh my goodness! I could stare at this picture and be eternally happy. Just perfect, Deborah!

Thank you so much!
You are welcome!
An amazing sight to behold! I bet it was a million (stars’ worth) times better in person! Your photos make my heart ache for travel 🙂
Thank you so much Joey! It was better in person. I love travel, but don’t feel like I get enough of it.
Stunning!
absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much Jodi!
Beautiful photo, Deborah
Thanks John!
Spectacular photograph Deborah!
Gorgeous picture! I’m glad you pointed out the shooting star, I never would have noticed it. I don’t realize how few stars we can see in our night sky where we live until I see a sky in an area with less light pollution. Such a loss.
It’s always fun when we find things in our photographs we didn’t know were there.
It is isn’t it. Thanks so much for the visit and comment Steve!
Wonderful picture!
A lovely image Deborah.
Thank you so much Brian!
Holy Hannah! That is a gorgeous photo, Deborah. I love it. Hugs.
Thank you so much Teagan! xx
That’s a beautiful image, and it’s so cool that you captured a shooting star! I love the composition with the windmill against the blue sky.
Thank you so much Dan! I was delighted to find I had photographed a shooting star too! I saw several, but didn’t think I managed to capture one. It’s a lovely surprise to find one had after all.
Very nice picture. Interesting that you take up the issue of light pollution. Hope one day it will become a matter of concern for the wider public.
Thank you so much Marcus!
