Title: Milky Way over Old Potato Rd
Post by: moogul on July 15, 2013, 09:08:01 AM
(For relevance, this is the road you take to Sherwood Forest Faire)

I wasn't sure where to put this, but figured some folks here might enjoy it.  I had to drop by Giddings a few nights ago... on the way back to the Austin area, noticed the sky was very clear that night.  Pulled over at the entrance of Old Potato Rd and took a long exposure shot.  You can see the Milky way above the road/trees.  (Click the pic for a larger version)

The trees got lit by all the passing cars on 290.

It has that "not quite earthly" feel, like Sherwood itself.

Waaahhhh!  February is too far away.
