Details:
It's been a Milky Way week! Last night I went out in search of the northern lights (NOAA forecasters were predicting the possibility of a minor geomagnetic storm) but instead ended up photographing the Milky Way for a few hours. While the northern lights never really made an appearance other than a very faint glow on the horizon, it was still a magnificent night to be out sky watching. The Milky Way was as bold as ever and while I photographed the stars I was treated to the haunting calls of a Barred Owl in the distance. The owl was particularly talkative as I heard him call countless times while I was surrounded by these beautiful pine trees. The air was incredibly calm so his calls really echoed across the valley. I don't think I will ever tire of standing underneath such an amazing sky as this. I sure do love the dark sky that we have here in northern Minnesota!
