Description
We arrived in Fredericksburg, TX, at 10:45 PM on a Sunday night on August the 16th. Tired from working all day that day, and after 4 hours of driving, I was pondering whether to stay in bed or make the 18-mile drive north to Enchanted Rock to photograph the dark skies. Enchanted Rock State Natural Area has been recently designated as a dark-sky park by the International Dark Sky Association, and it is the closest place to Houston where you can contemplate in awe how the Milky Way cuts through the sky and how countless shooting stars end their ephemeral atmospheric journey. I hope you like this panorama!

Thank you for taking the time to describe this image. I live much closer to a dark sky neighborhood and need to remember to get outside more at night. I missed the meteor showers over the last couple of weeks as I was traveling closer to densely populated areas. Always remember to appreciate what you have, protect it.......or you may lose it!
