Description
This image captures the galactic core of our wonderful little Milky Way Galaxy from Antelope Lake in Plumas County, California, USA on a mid April morning. The small island in the frame is directly across from the Lost Cove Boat Ramp, the lake’s only launch facility. On this particular morning I was struck by how wonderfully clear it was aside from a few wispy clouds, allowing for some wonderful starry reflections on the water. I thought the stars looked a bit like gemstones. The warm glow on the horizon on the left of the frame is from the town of Portola California in the distance.
UPDATE 2024
I was honored to hear that this image took 3rd place in the National Wild Turkey Foundation's 2023 photo contest in the Scenic Wild Landscape Category

Awesome capture and soft light, the Milky Way is epic to capture. Cool reflections also.
