I like the first image. The cabin enhances the image.

Very nice - I like the last one - it has a "Close Encounters" feel.

Thanks everybody. I am lucky to live where the skies are extremely dark and really enjoy setting up in the middle of the desert and gazing at the stars. Meteor showers are especially fun and I am really bummed that I missed the Perseid meteor shower.
