Under the Backbone of Night

Photographing the Milky Way is my Muse. I keep going back to it seeing if I can approach it from another perspective. It's intensely beautiful. If you've never seen it, then you owe yourself an opportunity to go away from the city or town and out to a rural area. Even a 20 minute drive outside of the city limits will take you to a dark enough sky to see the general shape of the bright Cygnus region. This was taken the morning of August 12 during the recent Perseid meteor shower.
