I know the road is in this, but have been wanting to get a shot of the Milky Way running above the road for awhile. This was taken on the 120 around Tenaya Lake.

That's an interesting one. Almost gives the feel like it's a river instead of small runoff with massive snow above.

The road in there is a really cool foreground idea. Nice work.

ultra wide lens creates the extreme perspective. Camera was maybe 2 inches above the small stream. Fill flash lit up the snow
