Description

Took this shot on a trip to North Manitou Island in Lake Michigan last summer. It was a beautiful night and I was able to sit out on the beach and enjoy the beautifully dark bortle class 2 skies. It was amazing the amount of detail you could see with the unaided eye in the Milky Way under such dark skies. One of the cool things about Manitou Island is the wildlife, walking the beaches you actually see way more deer and coyote footprints than human. In fact as I was sitting out on the beach that evening a coyote wandered down by the water just in front of me and directly in my shot and showed up in a couple of my frames.
