This image was taken in late summer at Yellowstone National Park. It was really dark that night with the Milky Way vertical and bright in the sky, with Jupiter just above the horizon. When I processed the image, I was delighted to find that it captured geyser activity in the foreground. The vast night sky, the lake with reflections and the geysers made it my best of 2019.

This was taken at Yellowstone near the northeast entrance near a closed picnic area that we literally happened upon on a perfect night. There were some animals in the area, which made getting the shot an adventure. To me this shot has everything: A stream, a mountain, and a pool with the stars reflecting in it. I doubt I will ever be there again, and probably could not find it anyway. But it was a special location.
