This doesn't belong in a contest as I didn't make the photograph, and I don't know the photographer who did. The photographer is named terryb088. And here is the photograph:

Very nice. Can you imagine sitting around that campfire in the sky.

Here's the photographer's blurb that went with the pic:

Milky Way as seen from Juniper campground above Moab, Ut. Nikon D3s, 14-24mm lens at ISO 128,000 at 25 sec. Red glow on the Trailer is from the fire and a Surefire flashlight pointed away from the Airstream and directly at my red shirt. No post processing color changing. The trees are blurry because of the wind and the long exposure.

Interesting how the wide angle lens makes the front of the rig look.

This picture reminds me of why we camp.

Yes, when I first saw the warped pic, I thought maybe the rig was an SOB of some kind. Probably would have been a lot better with a ~50mm lens or somesuch. (I don't even own one anymore; just the DA55-300 zoom.)
