she took a series of images then digitally added them together to create the detailed milky way image across the sky and the delicate reflection of both stars and the galaxy in the lake. the bright object toward the left is the planet jupiter. you can also see the orange glow of a town on the horizon.

Oh nice. I saw the image this morning on APOD but I hadn't hunted down the source. Another one of those sites that makes me wish I had half a dozen monitors to accommodate all the gorgeous candidates for desktop wallpaper.
desktop wallpapers are transient features! change them wisely and often ;)
Wise words. I've fallen into that trap before. It's going to take an impressive sight to shift the view of Eta Carinae I have going at the moment.
... oh often, doh! Hmm, perhaps. ;-)
OH, that's too weird - this morning I was looking for an image just like that to accompany a poem by Mary Oliver I posted on my blog. I didn't check APOD because I thought "what are the odds that today's APOD would be a landscape ohoto of stars reflected in a pond?" Wow - time to play the lottery!!
This is way too awesome. Is this photographer your friend, amanda, or you just came across this?
I'm thinking about going to this big oregon star party thing end of aug. where are you these days?
