Summer Milky Way and Reflection

For those of us in the Northern Hemipshere the bright, complex center of our Milky Way Galaxy rises highest in the night sky in the weeks close to the Summer solstice on June 22.  Here's a shot from early July, captures high in the Ansel Adams Wilderness at an elevation of 10,000 feet.

The image was captured in July 2010 on a Canon 5D Mark II, on a moonless night.  Here's a blog post on the process:
