Thought I'd share this one from the other night. Taken in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada. Anyone got anything from Tassie or NZ?

Fantastic shot! That head beam added a great touch to the scene.
Just move it!

Spectacular!
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.

No, I've got nothing and doubt I ever will have. But there's a show coming up soon at the National Gallery of Victoria https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/lurid-beauty/ that might have something that's similarly surreal. Unlikely to be quite as good as your shot though -- some of these painters try just a bit too hard. Did you get any sleep that night, or just stay up staring and wide awake?

Aaron Jones got a lovely shot at Cradle the other night...it was a bit cloudy in Hobart so I stayed warm...

Thanks all, it was quite the night :D

Peregrinator, unfortunately I had to take the misso home not long after because she had work early the next day. By all accounts I missed out on the main event which was around 4-5am.

Stepbystep, that's a fantastic shot at Cradle. I figured more people would have shots from home because it was such a big show.
