Image Details:

The Milky Way on a windy night by the Pacific Ocean. Sagittarius is visible lower left of the Core of our Galaxy, and the tail of Scorpius is seen at the Core's lowest part on top of the pine tree. It's not the best image, still I feel grateful to see and share this scene. (Also grateful that there's no one at the park to complain about my headlamp :)
