The International Space Station zooms through the evening sky over Ouray, Colorado as the full moon is about to rise from behind the Amphitheater. The 30 second exposure (24mm lens) shows the streaking path of the space station, which looks like a normal satellite except much faster and brighter.
Just curious…how did you know the Space Station would be visible? Great shot, by the way.
Justin – I didn’t know! I was up on an overlook drinking wine with my girlfriend, and was taking photos when the space station just happened to fly by!
Gorgeous!
