Florida Nightscape

Tropical ocean breeze in a moonlit night at the coast of Long Key State Park located on Long Key, one of the Florida Keys (a coral cay archipelago of many islands in the southeastern US). Winter stars and Jupiter (the brightest point) approach the western horizon. Click on the second photo to see another view of this night where Sirius and the rest of constellation Canis Major (the Great Dog) are framed by the passing clouds.
