A Panorama From Another Planet

This was a special one. I recently embarked on an early stop for my road trip, driving up to a very popular overlook at midnight. While clouds greeted my arrival, it seemed the sky knew I was coming, as they cleared up beautifully just as I set up my tripod.

And what a reward it was! The HOLY AIRGLOW on this night was absolutely spectacular. At times, its intensity was so strong it almost resembled an aurora. I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to creating panoramas, and the anticipation for the next one is already building!
