Trees under the Milky Way || Menindee Lakes {Explore 239, 2024/12/25 + Explore 217, 2023/12/17}

The lakeside area of one of the lakes at Menindee makes for some stunning milky way foregrounds. Part of a western NSW workshop, it was amazing to experience Bortle 1 skies for the first time shooting.

What was crazy is how much you could really see purely by starlight. A very special night :-)
