What Was Photographed At Night In Oregon Is Almost Unbelievable

In some ways, Oregon becomes a completely different place at night. Stars and galaxies are shimmering pinpoints of colored light in the distance. The air is fresh and crisp and everything is perfectly still, perfectly quiet. Oregon at night can be like another planet, where glowing electric light competes with the sparkling night sky and the silhouettes of trees and mountains line the distances. These 10 photos capture the magnificence of Oregon beneath the night sky.

1) The Milky Way over Crater Lake.

The beauty of the night sky is almost surreal.

The covered bridge is alight with a warm, lovely glow.

Amazing... you can almost hear the wolves howling.
