My first 3am adventure to photograph the Milky Way this year was met with quick flowing clouds but thankfully there was very little fog so I managed to capture most of the sky in a brief window before dawn, One of those nights clouds seem to be just where you're photographing but love that they always create unique images. It was a beautiful partially starry night to spend atop this dark friendly river bluff overlook.. thou I look forward to warmer nights ahead. And fireflies
