Galactic Erratic

This is the famous glacial erratic near Bumpass Hell in Lassen Volcanic NP.

 

In late August MW is positioned perfectly behind this interesting boulder and I therefore could not resit to capture it during my roadtrip following the August solar eclipse.

 

While Lassens skies are mostly very dark, the southwesterly direction is plagued be severe light pollution from the Sacramento area, producing the yellow glow on the horizon that completely eats up the stars.
