15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Milky Way behind Hollow Rock along Lake Superior's North Shore, Minnesota

Last week, when the moon's phase, the weather, the Milky Way's location and my family's schedule all somehow managed to cooperate, I made the run north to the Canadian border at Grand Portage, Minnesota. There were several things I wanted to photograph, but above all I wanted to capture the Milky Way behind a small, offshore rock islet named Hollow Rock.
