Beautiful sights, in the darkest of places
Lens: SMC Pentax-DA 1:3.5-5.6 18-135mm ED AL [IF] DC WR Camera: Pentax K-5 IIs 

My new-found love of astrophotography is driving me to find darker, and darker skies. I drove an hour north to a place called "Bear Creek" to find the darkest skies around me (Needless to say, being alone, in a place named bear creek, so dark I could not even see my hands in front of me... Was quite scary). The next "Dark Sky" location is over 4 hours farther...But I will get to there soon .... It is so amazing what, we, who live in the city, fail to see when we look up..... I used Lightroom 5.2 to edit. Cheers

Thanks so much, SKYoung. I have since taken many more pictures that I feel are superior to this, so I will probably change it. I have found a new love for astrophotography :P It is so much fun.
