Another amazingly clear night happened as we arrived in Maine. This image if from a location in Schoodic Peninsula which is part of Acadia National Park. Not located on Mount Desert but on the mainland of Maine, it is much less frequented and a great place to enjoy the rugged beauty of the Maine coast in peace and solitude. This small pool of water happened to be in the right place and beautifully reflected the Milky Way that night.
I had a great time shooting the Milky Way over the beautiful coastline at Cape San Blas, FL right before the COVID-19 lockdowns. A short hike led to the Donna Kay, an abandoned shrimp boat that ran aground shortly before Hurricane Michael made landfall. Attempts to remove her have been unsuccessful; she may become a permanent fixture on this remote stretch of beach in the Florida Panhandle.
These trees and roots fascinated me each time I walked past them and I struggled how to get a decent composition. The Milky Way did line up nicely between the trees and the nearby light pollution helped light up the scene well.
