This was shortly before dawn at McWay Falls on the Big Sur coast. After sleeping at a nearby highway pullout, I arose at midnight and walked to the viewing area north of Waterfall Cove, then waited a long cold time for the Milky Way to reach a good position over the waterfall. This image is a blend of several photos taken together, a very long exposure for the foreground and a series of shorter high ISO exposures for the stars.
