Description
CELESTIAL OASIS
The beautiful Milky Way Galaxy in all it's splendor at Big Cypress National Preserve in South Florida. At the bottom of the frame a large alligator drifts along the creek as dawn approaches and the Everglades begins to awaken. It is my favorite time of the day and watching nature come to life is a soul enriching experience.
This was photographed just as the light of dawn was coming over the horizon and the Milky Way was beginning to fade. I completed this panorama just in time, the Milky Way had vanished by the time I packed up 20 minutes after this photo. I love going out to Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. They both offer breathtaking views of the night sky making both locations ideal for observing the stars as well as celestial events such as meteor showers.
