Chasing The Milky Way
The forecast called for overcast skies clearing mid-morning. I awoke at 2am, ventured outside, and saw a clear starry sky. Getting excited with the chance of capturing the Milky Way in clear skies, I texted a fellow photographer, packed my gear, and drove to Makapuu Beach. I had the place to myself. While photographing, the police came to check the parking area and stopped by my car. They got out with flashlights and seemed to be inspecting it. I walked over and asked them if there was something wrong, and they told me that my safety inspection had expired in October and I was in violation. They checked my identification, and after I assured them I would get the vehicle inspected, they let me off with a warning, and I went back to capturing the Milky Way. The vehicle has since been inspected.
