Sunset over the Columbia

This past Saturday night we made our way out to Rooster Rock State Park on the Columbia River for the OMSI Star Party. It was a great evening; I saw several planets and star clusters through a telescope for the first time. Plus, the ISS flew over. I caught the sun going down when we first got there, all-in-all, a really beautiful night and a great way to celebrate the summer solstice.

Dark shoreline with the outline of hills and bushes and trees with a wide river in the middle reflecting back the light of the orange glow of the sun as it sets. There are some pile ons and other small bits of wood that lead from the shore to the middle of the river in the middle section of the photo. Clouds streak across a blue sky.
