Galaxy Cove Vista Revisited
Explanation: To see a vista like this takes patience, hiking, and a camera.
Patience was needed in searching out just the right place and waiting for just the right time. A short hike was needed to reach this
rugged perch above a secluded cove in
Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in
California,
USA. And a
camera was needed for the long exposure required to bring out the faint light from stars and nebulae in the background
Milky Way galaxy.
Moonlight illuminated the hidden beach and inlet behind nearby trees in the
above composite image taken last month. Usually obscured
McWay Falls is
visible just below the image center, while the
Pacific Ocean is in view to its right. The above image is a high-resolution sequel to a similar image that
appeared last year.
