Description

This was my first attempt at imaging the Lagoon. I shot it early in the night before it dipped below the top of my tent and I turned to the slightly higher Trifid. Not an ideal target owing to it's low altitude but this is easily compensated by the park's high altitude (2300 ft) and lack of local air and light pollution.
