Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 3:57:13 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park
This wide-angle night photograph was taken at Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park in the early morning hours, capturing a breathtaking view of a star-filled sky framed by silhouetted and moonlit conifer and deciduous trees. The moon is partially visible through the pine branches on the right side of the frame, casting a warm amber-orange glow on the surrounding foliage and creating a dramatic contrast against the deep blue-black sky. Hundreds of faint stars are visible across the expanse of the sky, with no significant light pollution obscuring the view. The composition uses the trees as natural framing elements in all corners, drawing the eye toward the open sky at the center. The overall mood is deeply peaceful and awe-inspiring, evoking a sense of solitude in the wilderness.
