Starry Night Sky Through Pine Trees at Lassen
Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 4:06:12 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park
This wide-angle long-exposure photograph looks straight up through a canopy opening framed by towering pine and conifer trees at Mount Lassen Volcanic National Park. The deep blue-grey night sky is peppered with hundreds of visible stars, while a soft moonlit glow illuminates the upper center of the frame. A faint satellite trail is visible in the upper right portion of the sky, a subtle reminder of human presence above. The trees are warmly lit from below, likely by ambient campfire or artificial light sources on the ground, creating a rich orange-amber contrast against the cool celestial backdrop. The upper-right tree appears with a vivid reddish-orange tint, possibly from a nearby light source or color rendering at the extreme wide-angle edge.
