Could not imagine a better image. Just sensational. I'm taking pictures of birds, clouds, snow drifts and flooded rivers for the last 2 months. I even joined the Cloud appreciation society. If you cant beat em, join em.

Thanks for the kind comments, Paul. With the sparseness of our clear nights, we may just have to see if we have a Cloud Appreciations Society and join up too...LOL!!
