Starry Night (after moonset June 1 near Roanoke, VA)

[Mousetoescamper]

I visited my mother at her home near Roanoke, VA, for a few days and took some night-sky photos from her front yard. The trees are illuminated by a sodium-vapor street light.

We have clouds for the next few nights. Otherwise, I could see the milky way from my front yard when it's overhead.

13. Out of all the places I've been in my life, Shenandoah

Valley ranks up there for its natural beauty. I know, Roanoke on the foothills, but when you get there it keeps getting better!

14. The Shenandoah Valley ranks up there for me as well

I lived north of there in Loudon County for a few years during the early '70s.

15. If you ever get a chance... Go here. Although I suspect

photographing fireflies as hard as photographing stars.

Zillions of fireflies there. Don't know why. But enough that they have everyone outside to watch.
