The Milkyway above Bonavista Lighthouse (Ting Ting Chen)

It was my first time photographing it above the Bonavista Lighthouse. This is the fainter section of the Milky Way; the brighter core was angled toward the town’s lights and disappeared into the glow of light pollution. I was there at 3 a.m., the only person around, and the only sounds were birds and whales calling in the distance.
