That is really cool Kurt! I love the framing.

I have been looking for more objects to frame with the Milky Way, this bridge looks like it has a lot of promise. Is there parking or a pullout now far from where you shot this? I have a bunch of gear, so I prefer to park close to where I set up for the Milky Way when I do Milky Ways.

Beautiful view and outstanding framing of the major elements in the scene. I like how you have the sun coming up right over the tree with the lake in the distance and framed by the bridge arch. Nice work.

Very nice light and composition.

Thanks, Jim. Fairly easy walk with good parking although it would be a tricky place to add in the Milky Way.

Thanks, Alan. There is only a few days a year that this image will work well. I had pretty nice conditions for this one.

Thanks, John. I've thought about this shot for a few years but never had the right combination of weather and timing to give it a try.

There is spontaneous timing and then perseverance. Sounds like you really worked for this shot Kurt. It was definitely worth it. Well seen.

Thanks, Trent. I'm glad I had the weather and light on my side. We had wildfire smoke up until the day before.
