It was partly cloudy, still a few stars are visible though barely due to light pollution. I walked the dusty bare field in the valley to the edge where the grassy area begins. Farther away are lighted homes and structures at the foot of the hills. I've found my spot and this here is my attempt to shoot The Milky Way. The greenish color near the horizon on the right is air glow.
