The Milky Way and the ISS - a photo on Flickriver

I'm sure by now you are all sick and tired of seeing these star and milky way photos from me...I just can't get enough of them as of late. Part of it is just due to the fact that I find the stars and milky way to be so interesting and the other part is knowing the adventures Ed Brice and I have gone on to get these shots as of late.

I'll try to throw some of my normal types of photos into the mix as to not bore anyone with the onslaught of these photos. :-)

This photo here was taken over at Navajo Point up at the Grand Canyon. I happened to capture what I believe to be a satellite streaking across the sky. The reason why I say it's a satellite as to the naked eye it didn't appear to be a normal shooting star...who knows perhaps it was a UFO?! ;-)

Edit: By the comments below, it looks like it was actually the International Space Station crossing by. Got lucky on this one!
