Big Dipper over Atlas Coal Mine (June 27, 2013)

The old Atlas Coal Mine near East Coulee, Alberta, now a museum and tourist attraction. This is a single 1 minute exposure with the Canon 5D MkII and 16-35mm lens at 16mm and f/3.2, and ISO 800 Taken June 27, 2013. While the Moon was up it was in some cloud and most of the illumination of the foreground comes from a sodium vapour light just off camera at right.
