This was one of those nights, WOW, the Africa sky was beautiful. We are coming to the end of the rainy season on the coast in Tanzania so the skies are completely free of dust. The family went camping for the weekend and there was no moon. As evening turned to night the clouds disappeared and the milky way was phenomenal. So often I am in the right spot at the wrong time for a specific challenge. This worked out great. It was one of those moments where you feel so small and insignificant against the backdrop of the universe and God's beautiful creation.

Is infinity really an imaginary number? Then this image takes my imagination there and back again. Well, hopefully, I'll get lost on some grand adventure along the way. Still love this one!!!
This image reminds me of John Lanoue's work who used to be here on DPC. I still miss that guy's work! A celestial cornucopia that makes one wonder what is far beyond all those distant stars. Congrats on your ribbon!
LOL....Looks like I was duped by the blue winner !

Dishonesty isn't scooter88's style. But if that were to change, I've heard all you need to do to sleep well at night is to leave a tiny sign in the photo but be sure to make it so that it's 99% black with a font size of .01 microns.
I remember seeing those skies when on a safari in the Serengeti. Thanks for bringing back those wonderful memories. It's so difficult to see those kinds of skies these days with all the light pollution.
Really? Somebody asked for Validation for this? How crazy...somebody needs to get a handle. Awesome...it's been a long time since I've seen truely dark skies...thanks. 'WOW! is right...10
The sky certainly looks gorgeous in this image. I feel like your subject could be sharper, but if you had a long exposure, I can see how this would be hard, especially with a person just 'standing' there waiting for the time to pass.
I think having 2 people gazing at the sky, maybe holding hands, or interacting in some way, would've helped you.
WOW!
