Milky Way

Recently I traveled up to the Upper Peninsula during a new moon to shoot the Milky Way. All of these shots were made along Highway 2 adjacent to the north side of Lake Michigan.

The first image was made not long after sunset, and the effect is rather weak. This was taken just east of the Cut River Bridge (a historic structure built in 1947). The second photograph was made at a “scenic overlook” just west of Epoufette—it’s getting later now, and the galaxy is a bit more evident. And the final view was made a bit more west on Highway 2, and later of course, so the effect is getting stronger. This spot is five or six miles west of Epoufette, where the road is right adjacent to the water.

Three photographs by Richard Koenig; taken June 27th 2022.

Before the smoke from the Bolt Creek Fire ashed out our sky this weekend, I was in my happy spot, doing happy things. Arting=Happy🥰 So grateful most of my family who chose to remain in the mandatory evacuation zone are still alive and only having trouble breathing because of the smoke and ash.

I found a rock to sit on to do some writing. When you arrive in Skykomish, Washington — you're in the middle of the Cascades Mountains. Because a railroad tycoon by the name of Stevens, built a railroad from Spokane to the Puget Sound — the place is smack dab in the middle of train history U.S.A. By the 1890s, the United States had had already built a few transcontinental railroads — thanks to the unsung contribution of cheap Chinese labor — which the government tried to put a stop to with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Even though Washington D.C. put a smackdown on immigration from Asia, the economy begged to open more portals to the West. A direct train route to Puget Sound. Open more trans-Pacific trade. But a train through the Cascades would prove to be a more difficult challenge. The mountains are a formidable presence — up to about 4,000 feet above sea level, which for a Louisiana boy, is a lot. I'm breathing air at high altitudes, refilling my bottle with water from the Foss River. Loving being outdoors — but dang, it's uncharacteristically hot today — the high is 90 ° F. Even the people who live here say that’s hot. Sitting by the river — I don't jump in, but I feel the coolness of the rock, and the water is ice cold to the touch. What’s your favorite picture that I took? ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #holiday #explore #motel #cascades #love #skykomish #vacation #travelphotography #bytheroad #highway2 #travelgram #photooftheday #vacationrental #homeaway #pnw #photography #washington #fossriver #summer #travel #alpinelakeswilderness #beautiful #hiking #instatravel #airbnb #adventure #home #architecture #mountains #nature (at Foss River) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmkq6iFij2/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you find yourself taking highway 2 out of Everett WA, make sure you stop at Vick's Burger Shack. The service is fast and the food is amazing. We loved the onion rings and fries, but the burgers were phenomenal! We both had the El Jefe with Grilled Angus Beef, Roasted Green Chile, Pepper Jack Cheese and Chipotle Sauce Jalapeños. #PNWRVC WeHikeForFood.com #vicksburgershack #RoadVenture #roadtrip #everett #everettwa #burger #burgers #eljefe #angus #angusbeef #grilledangusbeef #roastedgreenchile #pepperjack #chipotlesauce #highway2 (at Vick's Burger Shack) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgXE4-BIuV/?igshid=1s4zguldtqw2l

This is not the road less traveled, yet today when I arrived at the trailhead, I saw only one other car. The day was splendid; the sun was out in full force, I made feel thankful for being able to enjoy nature in such an outstanding way. ----------•**********•---------- #stevenspass #stevenspasshighway #hikingwashingtonstate #hiking #happyhiker #mrsunshine #scenicwa #highway2 #railroadhistory #snowroad #snowroads #ushwy2 #skykomish #irongoattrail #wellington #wellingtonwashington (at Wellington, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_vt-rl0G1/?igshid=1uzla1we9v8w8
