Milky Way over Lake Superior Beach in Tettegouche State Park near Silver Bay, Minnesota.
Backed by the Nerstrand Big Woods State Park, Valley Grove Church sits in one of the darkest parts of southern Minnesota, creating the perfect foreground for a night of Milky Way astrophotography.
The core of the Milky Way rises above the historic Frank Schott Stone Barn in far western Minnesota on an early May morning.
