Milky Way over an old ranch corral
August 26, 2014 - The Milky Way over the old corral at the site of the 76 Ranch in the Frenchman Valley in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada. The foreground is lit by starlight, by the aurora brightening in the north, and by the occasional flashes of spotlights from naturalists down the valley spotting for nocturnal ferrets. The green bands in the sky are from natural airglow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of the Milky Way stretching across the night sky, casting a mesmerizing glow over an old ranch corral. Taken on August 26,2014, at Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan, Canada, this stunning nightscape showcases nature's celestial wonders and earthly tranquility. The foreground is softly illuminated by starlight and the faint green bands are a result of natural airglow. The aurora borealis adds its own luminosity to the scene as it brightens in the northern horizon. Occasionally, spotlights from naturalists down the valley searching for nocturnal ferrets create flashes that dance upon the landscape. Amidst this cosmic spectacle lies an open gate leading into a rustic wooden post fence surrounding the abandoned corral. The juxtaposition of ancient wood against the vastness of space creates a sense of timelessness and serenity. In this digital composite image by Alan Dyer, various celestial objects can be identified such as Altair, Dark Horse Nebula, Lagoon Nebula (M8), Swan Nebula (M17), Double Cluster (M24), and several star clouds within Sagittarius constellation. With no human presence visible in this vertical composition, one can fully immerse themselves in awe-inspiring beauty found both above and below - where galaxies collide with rural scenes creating an idyllic atmosphere that evokes feelings of wonderment and peace.
