When All Other Lights Go Out
To some of you, it may be obvious that I've been reading The Lord of the Rings to my children. Nonetheless, the title seemed appropriate to me here because it is pretty rare to be able to photograph the Milky Way when there's a full moon. However, on this night, the full lunar eclipse that was going on in the eastern quadrant of the sky at the left of the image meant that the Milky Way was suddently quite visible for about an hour. So it was a double treat to be able to photograph both a light painted lunar eclipse with Bill Bowman, but also our fair Galaxy. The lights visible on the horizon come from the towns of Nederland and Ward, Colorado.
