Skygazer standing under the stars at Grasslands National Park, Canada
August 25, 2014 - A 360 degree panorama of the landscape and skyscape at Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Milky Way arches overhead from south to north at right, and the last vestiges of twilight light the western sky at left, providing a natural backdrop for the silhouette of the photographer gazing wistfully into the distance. Some green bands of airglow also light the sky, but only a few farm lights from outside the boundaries of the park mar the landscape in this darkest of Dark Sky Preserves in Canada. Sagittarius and the centre of the galaxy is at far right, the Big Dipper is above the person

Lost in the Majesty of the Night Sky - A Skygazer's Dream at Grasslands National Park, Canada
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking print captured by Alan Dyer, we are transported to a serene and awe-inspiring moment under the starry heavens of Grasslands National Park. The panoramic view showcases a vast landscape and skyscape that seem to merge seamlessly into one another. As darkness envelops the surroundings, the Milky Way stretches across the sky from south to north, creating an ethereal arch overhead. The last remnants of twilight grace the western horizon with a soft glow, providing a natural backdrop for our silhouette protagonist who stands in quiet contemplation. The photographer's wistful gaze seems to be lost in distant thoughts as they immerse themselves in this celestial spectacle. Green bands of airglow add subtle touches of color to the otherwise dark canvas above. Only faint farm lights from outside the park boundaries disturb this sanctuary designated as one of Canada's darkest Dark Sky Preserves. Sagittarius and the center of our galaxy can be spotted on far right while above them shines prominently is none other than Ursa Major - or more commonly known as "The Big Dipper". This harmonious blend between nature and astrophotography creates an idyllic atmosphere that evokes feelings of solitude and tranquility. Alan Dyer has masterfully captured both beauty and serenity within this photograph; it serves as a reminder for us all to pause, look up at night's canvas, and appreciate our place within such an expansive universe.
