Happy International Dark Sky Week! Did you know that northern Minnesota has some of the darkest skies on Earth and that the BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Area) has been designated one of only 17 International Dark Sky Sanctuaries on the planet?

Recent photo from my local FB Lake Superior Photography Group for you to enjoy 😎

(By the way, this is not a photograph taken in the BWCA, but taken on Lake Superior’s north shore, but does give a nice representation somewhat of the clear dark skies with this capture of the Milky Way.)
