Milky Way

"Its full of stars!"
Taken at Assateague National Seashore on the night of the Perseid Meteor Shower.
Was hoping for a meteor to streak across while taking a whole series of
one minute photos, but only caught one airplane! This shot highlights the Milky Way.
Light at lower right is from the Assateague Lighthouse.
