Night Scapes

Unread post by DonB »

I just got back from Maine where I have been chasing the wily whitetail with bow and arrow for almost 40 years. I always take my gear with me to these very dark skies. This time I was looking for nightscapes. On my way back to the house after a beautiful evening on stand I looked up to see the Pleadies peeking at me through the forest canopy.

Awesome, Don! That must've been a wonderful sight in-person.
