Pennsylvania explored

We had a ton of rain come through Thursday night into Friday afternoon, but the clouds cleared off after dinner. Since it was Friday evening, I decided I'd go photograph the sunset and stars at a couple of places I have discovered on my motorcycle rides.

First up was Laughlin Mill in Newville. I thought it might make a decent sunset location, but on this night (no clouds) discovered it will probably be a better sunrise.



From there I headed up into the hills to a little country church - Sheaffers Valley. I was treated to a pretty sunset.



I waited another hour or so for full dark, and then photographed the Milky Way. Light pollution made processing this very tricky - the light sky in the left side of the frame is light from Harrisburg.


Cheers,

Marc
