Your pictures are cool, but you got out of a car at night in Australia and survived, now that is awesome!

Thanks for the info!

I've been working to get a good shot with the Milky Way like that, but haven't been at the right place with the right equipment just yet...

I captured this with my Sony RX100- not bad for a point-and-shoot!

Beautiful Picture. I love night sky photography, but I never get dark skies like that. Great work!

Here's one from West Virginia

Great photo.

I learnt to drive on the left - in the UK and did it for about 20 yrs.

Lived in Canada for the last 16 yrs and went back to the UK last yr and after driving on the right- it felt very weird and not correct at all.

Ourkind: Your second pic looks outworldly! It is incredible. How lucky to be somewhere that the background lighting of humanity does not interfere with the natural beauty!

Thank You.
