A Perfect Orbit ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• “It’s not our universe giving meaning to us, it’s us giving meaning to our universe” – Max Tegmark, physicist at MIT. What does the universe mean to you? To me, it means peace and curiosity, hope and adventure. Mount Kista, Mumford, and of course, Michener, in a perfect orbit with Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. The International Space Station about to streak through the Milky Way, and all of this hopefully in a timelapse, if I get the time to re-do it (first attempt was a bust!). This was part of my annual trip to the lake for a timelapse, but this year was a lot more special because of my new best friend tagging along (seen in the previous post). My kickoff to the Milky Way season, and hopefully the gateway to many more this summer. ••••••••••••••••••••••• Canon 6D 31 sec ISO 6400 F2.8 rokinon 14mm •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #abrahamlake #abrahamlakeMilkyWay #milkyway #milkywaychasers #milkywaygalaxy #milkywayphotography #astrosprout #milkywaypics #weownthenight_ab #milkywaymastery #bestnightpix #newmilkyway #astro_photography_ #night_excl #night_shots_ #night_captures #travelalberta #explorecanada #sharecangeo #albertaparks #explorealberta #awesomeearthpix #canadaproud #abparks #canadiandestinations #canadianrockiesannual #mountaincultureelevated #rokinon14mm #dtcountry #nordegglife

It doesn't matter how often we go, there's just something magical about Abraham Lake in the winter.
