Description

I woke up in my hotel room in Fredericksburg at 4:10 AM to try capturing a Milky Way Panorama at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area before the sun would rise. Once I arrived, I realized that the galaxy wasn't well defined in the sky, even though there was no moon. I wasn't too concerned about this since I had visited the night before at 11:30 PM and I was able to reach the top of the rock and photograph the Milky Way in all its glory.
Hiking in the darkness for 45 minutes, I reached the top of Turkey Peak, which overlooks the northeast quadrant of park, and I laid down on the rock for a good half hour to rest. Once I saw the faint light of a new day coming on the eastern horizon, I set up my gear and explored a few compositions. I decided on this one. Pictured here are Freshman Mountain and Buzzard's Roost. Thanks for looking. FAA watermark WILL NOT show on final printed image.
