Where the Colville River merges with the Columbia River.

This image felt unique the moment it was captured. The area had been scouted earlier, but I was 90 degrees off relative to where I thought the Milky Way would appear. Really...it's only an error of some 1.5 million light years...a galactic drop in the bucket. So, I shifted my view 90 degrees, found a new spot to compose, compensated for the bright lights of Kettle Falls, and took this shot. It's not what I was expecting for the night, but I'm pleased with how it came out.
