The dawn Milky Way may very well be my favorite scene to capture. It has all my favorite things. Dark skies, bright stars, dawn light, a new day. This was the scene at Sand Beach in Acadia just as dawn overtook the night. I had spent the last four hours standing on the beach with camera to the sky and hot coffee in my hand enjoying that transition of day from dark to light, and ever thankful to Mother Nature for the sight!
