Artist's Description

Thanks - this was "third time is the charm" situation - prior two nights I shot with "meh" foregrounds. On this night, I scoped out location ahead of time and talked with nearby homeowner (yes, believe it or not- very remote / unpopulated location, but a cabin right where I needed to be!) to get permission and avoid being shot at 3AM.
