Your picture reminded me a lot of the hike I did to the top of Hollowtop Mountain. Same sort of scooped-out U-shaped peak.

It is a nice area, but somehow I actually haven’t done any hiking or anything in the Tobacco Roots, the most I’ve done is in the Revenue Flats area. See them in the distance all the time though.

Very nice. Any pictures in the Tobacco Roots? I did a geological field camp program there years ago, and have fond memories of the area.

Just a little red and green for christmas (and the Coal Sack).
[Annotated version with POIs on my profile as this sub doesn't allow galleries]
90% of the world's population live in the Northern Hemisphere and cannot see the South Celestial Pole. Down here at -37 degrees lattitude the Magellanic Clouds and the Carina region of the Milky Way never set below the horizon so we have "Galaxy Season" all year 'round.
The layers of green are caused by "Airglow", from the atmospheric molecules which absorb UV radiation all day and glow faintly green as they cool down at night.
The red is from "Diffuse Aurora", caused by high energy charged particles of solar wind being deflected by the Earth's magnetic field towards the poles and slamming into the atmosphere so hard they glow red and green (and sometimes purple) like tiny atomic meteors.
The dark region called the Coal Sack is actually a clump of cold gas and stardust blocking out the light from the stars behind similar to the "Dark Doodad" which is made of the same stuff but has a much funnier name.
The Magellanic Clouds are "Dwarf Galaxies" orbiting outside the Milky Way, they're much smaller than Andromeda but much closer.
The 47 Tuc cluster is the second brightest star cluster and contains more stars within it than can be seen from earth with the naked eye (around 10,000).
The Omega Centauri cluster contains around 10,000,000 stars and looks like a bright fuzzy star to the naked eye.

Straighten your horizon (yours tilts hard to the right). Many cameras have digital levels, so you can get it right in camera. If yours doesn't, you can correct it with just about any photo manipulation software.
Keep taking photos... I hope you're enjoying it! 🙂

Same here, a week, 6 people, 3 canoes, none of us wanted to leave, lived on walleye and potatoes, got separated, didn't care, we all found our way back, lots of moose, don't go near them if they're eating or just finished, they'll try to kill you, it's their food, as they see it.

You can also post this to the sibling subreddit, r/Beachporn, so that some more redditors will see it.

That would be Crescent Beach. Definitely the best one in the city. St Augustine is beautiful if you’re still there and enjoy pizza I recommend you go check out DeLeons next to the movie Theater it’s the best in the city
