Milky Way over the Great Lakes

The Milky Way's core arcs overhead in a blaze of stardust and rose-colored nebulae, mirrored in the still, glassy waters of Lake Huron below. Weathered shoreline rocks anchor the foreground, their silhouettes framing a shoreline meeting an infinite, star-strewn sky. A quiet, humbling reminder of how dark — and how vast — Michigan's night skies can be.
