- Related blog: I want to see Milky Way
I drove 8+ hours (round trip) to see Milky Way for the first time in my life.
Now that I think back, I believe I have seen the Milky Way several times in the past – I just didn’t know what I was looking at.
Milky Way looks like streaks of cloud. It doesn’t look anything like what you see in photographs. I used my point-and-shoot camera for the below picture and digitally enhanced it. I can take much better pictures with my professional equipment, but my trip was not about photography.
I went to Joshua Tree National Park (CA), and I was disappointed to see glowing city lights all around us. It was darker than my neighborhood, but not by much. I have been to darker places in my past. I need to research more and visit darker locations. Next time, I will bring my professional cameras.
If you live anywhere in the world that’s very dark at night, please let me visit you. I will pay for the room.
Just to let you know, I enjoy your blog! I am single, older and on a budget ( is not everyone) and own my own house.. and now since I paid it off, no one ever says to me any longer, I can not believe, that with no spouse any longer, no kids ( ever) that you shop at Costco and Sams! But I do, and I usually love to cook and get a deal. I so relate to your posts and look forward to any new! YOU are not boring! Sue, in the upper Midwest Great Lakes region.
Hi, Sue.
Thank you. Ah, we are similar in many ways.
I heard about the Great Lakes.
I was planning to visit Illinois, Indiana, & Michigan last January. I wanted to see the Great Lakes and try Pizza (just like I wanted to see Milky Way). But that had to be cancelled for a personal reason. 🙁
I’ll talk to you soon.
