My brother and his family (three generations, including the youngest - my 7 and 9 year old great nephews) were here for a week of Beaver Island fun. The 'boys' (as in the youngest) have great imaginations and decided to build a survival type fort. It's about 6 feet tall and I thought it could be the foreground I've been missing for a more interesting Milky Way image. This is the result from last night's attempt. I did a panorama, this one of four images.
Taffy this is spectacular and such a fantastic way to honor the boys' work in making this structure. Definitely a printed and framed gift -- or gigantic poster to fill an entire bedroom was for them! Now I wish I was in Beaver Island with you to see and photograph this!
Your sky shots are amazing. I'm jealous of your opportunity to have such skies, free from light pollution, but also in awe of your ability to capture them so well.
@gardenfolk@skipt07 Thank you both! I was very happy to see it in the finals, and appreciate my young nephews who built the fort. I've never had an interesting foreground to use here!
