Milky Way over the Columbia Icefields in Jasper National Park, Canada.

September 14, 2014 - The Milky Way over Athabasca Glacier and the Columbia Icefields in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada, on a very clear night before moonrise. The centre of the Galaxy area in Sagittarius is setting in the southwest behind the icefields. The foreground light on the moraines is wash from lights on the Glacier View Inn and Icefields Centre. Other ground illumination on the peaks is from starlight though the tops of the peaks are just being lit by light from the rising waning moon which is also beginning to light the sky a deep blue. Mount Andromeda is at left. The Summer Triangle stars are at centre.
