Leashed by Asterism Fine Art Photograph by Daogreer Earth Works
My favorite kind of sky: Dark, clear, and starry as all get out. Huge expanses of sky (for extra stars) are a plus, too. So while I love exciting topography and tall, tall trees, they just get in the way where stars are concerned.

I'm forever trying to get a good sky shot. This was a pretty good attempt. The full moon lit up the sand pretty well, but Orion and his mutts, Canis Major and Canis Minor are still clearly visible.

This photograph is guest hosting over on SkyWatch this week!

Wow, that's beautiful. I, too, love getting away from the city lights to see the stars. Your photo looks like a painting.

I am a fan of the night sky. When I was younger I could easily distinguish the constellations. This photo made me miss those days when I would look up the sky and marvel at its beauty. Now, that's just a luxury for me. =) Thank you for sharing this photo.
