An "Impossible Composite"

I named this image An "Impossible Composite" because light pollution prevents this scene from ever being able to play out. The Milkyway will never be viewable like this over heavily populated urban areas due to the amount of lights concentrated in these areas. I wanted to create this "fantastical" image to showcase the beauty of our night sky and hopefully inspire some people who have dwelt in and amongst our cities for their entire lives to get out to the natural and just look up.

Locations:

Matagorda, TX: Milkyway

Houston, TX: City Skyline (Lower Left)

Galveston, TX: Abandoned Army Bunker (Lower Right)
