A 74 Second Dream Illuminated by Moonlight, While Not Quite Wide Awake

Go to http://www.pbase.com/image/127677364 to see the overall view of the location where I made this image.

I fell asleep on the couch last night for a couple of hours.
When I woke up it was almost midnight and I was in that funky mental state of not really tired but not really totally awake either.

We had a storm pass through last night and it was heading east. I decided to go to the east edge of town and see what I could find before it totally disappeared.

It was just after midnight when I left the house, and I was thinking maybe I could get a nice PAD image "before the day really starts" and be ahead of the game for Saturday.

The planet Jupiter is the brightest "star" trail in the image.

It was extremely quiet out there and I could faintly hear someones radio straight ahead to the east, and occasionally I could hear coyotes to the south.

I love the soft edges from the movement of the clouds.
