Autumn Night at the Banner Peak

From the photographer: “A chilly autumn night at the Thousand Island Lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The near-full moon rises, illuminating the the scenery as the Milky Way towers over the grand Banner Peak at 12, 945 ft. The picture shows the delicate balance between moonlight and starlight, complementing each other to produce an ethereal and breathtaking view.”
