Cracking photo. One of the joys living here is that there is little light pollution. One of the annoyances is that we are deep in a steep valley with lots of trees so our sky is about 50% constricted - even in summer we don't see direct sun until 930.

I've only been a few places where you can see that...
Spent some time in the early 2000's in Yellowstone. There are some VERY dark places there.
Also spend a fair bit of time out on the tundra in various places in Alaska. It was almost absolutely dark when I was in the tiny village of Nightmute and the town's generator broke.
We, as humans, have lost something of the wonder that is inspired by seeing the stars. While I am in no way advocating that we return to the darkness of before the 1880's or so, I think it would do all people good to be able to see the stars like this every once in a while.
