Milky Way Rise Over Moraine Lake

After I captured the previous photo and was about to leave, I heard a magic word. Next to me stood two photographers, speaking in Hindi except for the words "Milky Way".

 

I asked "What about the Milky Way?" and was told it would be rising over the lake starting about 9pm.

 

Ahhhhh, we should stay, but yike, we were not dressed for the cold nor we ate dinner yet!

 

No matter, Milky Way rules!

 

Good thing I still have the note for Night Sky Photography on my phone (no cell signal) so I knew what settings to use.

 

PS: The photogs were brother and sister, their parents were sitting on the bench patiently waiting for them to finish their Milky Way photoshoot. They were visiting Canada from Australia for two weeks.

 

Our free-styling road trip is still going strong, we left Jasper/Banff and are heading west.

 

Wishing everyone a great day ahead, thanks for your visit!
