Heavens Above – Victoria Bowman
The photo was taken in July 2019 at around 9pm on a very frosty -5 evening. Even only after about 15 minutes, my lens began to ice up. Not sure who got the biggest fright when this was taken, the pigeons quietly roosting in the shed rafters and having a bright torch waking them up, or the photographer when the pigeons took to flight with nosey flapping wings and dust flying! This is a single image, planned using the PhotoPills app, to help me align the milky way with the apex of the Omakau goods shed.
