Today was a long driving day, which I will recap in the tomorrow. It was quite full of amazing things. For now, I just want to share this photograph of the Milky Way with you.
As I drove tonight, I could only see the road directly in front of me. It was such true absolute darkness, with only the occasional house dotting the area, I couldn’t see anything else. I had a sense of how dark the area was, and how small I am in the grand scheme of it all. At one point, in the Boise National Forest in Idaho, I decided to stop in a pull-out, turn the car off, turn off the car lights – and take it all in.
Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness, this is what I saw.
Truly breathtaking.
We are surrounded by amazing things every day. We have just built up so much noise & clutter in our lives, we don’t stop long enough to adjust, refocus, and truly see them.

So true. Vast things like the night sky and tiny things like hummers.
Will you please share your settings for this shot?

What an incredible image! It’s a great reminder about why we need to quiet ourselves, remove ourselves from the everyday noise, and realize the beauty that’s freely around us always.
Thanks so much. 🙂 Beautiful shot!
