Ah, the Milky Way!
We spent a weekend at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada to attend Balls XXX, the biggest experimental rocket launch event in the world. The camp is in the middle of a dry lakebed, also called playa, the same place where Burning Man takes place. The playa is big, about 200 sq mi (520 km2). The night sky is very clear, you can see the Milky Way and millions of stars with your bare eyes because there is no light pollution. My rocket buddy Steve Jurvetson poses with a big rocket motor on our comfy chair below the Milky Way. It became a tradition to take the throne along to the desert every year.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a JPG exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
