Beautiful time lapse video of Milky Way galaxy over Olympic National Park

FROM SCOTT SISTEK (a Port Angeles native) at KOMO 4 News (a PDN news partner) in Seattle:

“The nights are starting to get longer as we head into autumn, but there’s luckily been enough clear skies of late to where longer nights are welcome. 



“Meg McDonald of Wild Northwest Beauty Photography (click on: http://www.wildnwbeauty.com/ ) put together a time lapse video combining two stunning nights of work capturing the Milky Way (and the trillions of other stars out there) while at Olympic National Park and at Mt. Rainier National Park.

“‘This video is dedicated to my father, who showed me why . . . to my friend Chuck, who showed me how . . . and to my husband for his patient love,’ McDonald wrote on her YouTube page (click on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Y2dMfRbrY&feature=youtu.be )

“

Great video Meg, and thanks for sharing!”
