Explanation:
A mysterious formation known as
Devils
Tower rises into
the dark above northeastern Wyoming's prairie landscape in this 16
frame panoramic view.
Seen against the night sky's thin, pale clouds and eerie green
airglow, star clusters and nebulae
of the Milky Way arc toward the galaxy's
central realm
at right of the frame.
Of course the scene contains the Milky Way's own
haunting and grisly visages
of
halloween, including
ghosts,
a flaming
skull,
a glowing eye and
a witch's broom.
To find them, slide your cursor over the picture or just
follow this link,
if you dare.
And have a safe and Happy Halloween!
