The Lights We Lost

I was walking to the gym early in the morning when I noticed it wasn't as cloudy as the past few days. Before working out I walked to the softball field and took a photo of the beautiful stars. I thought the light pole ruined my photo, until I showed this to a friend who saw a meaning in light pollution. This atole has very little light pollution, making the night sky visible with the naked eye, not many people have an opportunity like this.
Please contact me through email if the image is blurry or pixilated as this is a very beautiful picture I would like more to see.
