Today’s photo comes from a flight back in May when I flew out of the Ashland airport on my way to the Oakland airport. This photo was actually taken on the return trip in the evening.

Not for me, but for my kids, today they go back to school after a summer break that included good times like the above. My summer break continues for another few weeks.
I spent a couple nights over Labor Day Weekend at a friend’s ranch in Beatty, about two and a half hours east of Ashland. With no moon, clear skies, and no sizable population within 30+ miles the Milky Way was quite visible with the naked eye.
I am between tripods at the moment so I had to prop my camera up in some old manure to get this shot, a 15 second exposure (to avoid star trails) @ 24mm. Next time I will be sure to have a tripod and my 14-24mm lens so I can go for a 30 second exposure without star trails for hopefully better results.

Southern Oregon University – North Campus Village (photo taken just a few weeks before the first students move in to the new dorms)
The SOU campus features several new buildings for students this fall. For the past year they have been building the new North Campus Village dormitories. They are now, more or less, complete, and students will be moving in soon for the new school year which begins later this month.
