Milky Way Behind Pinnacle Rock

---

This shot had been planned for a couple of months, I was mainly waiting for that clear night where the milky way would appear behind Pinnacle Rock. Storm clouds and rain accounted for most of the evening but determination paid off and the clouds parted for about a half an hour giving me possibly the only opportunity for the summer. All in all, I got lucky.
