Here’s one of the comments:

Just so you know, you are never, ever going to see these things with your own eyes. These pictures are composites. Firt, you won’t see the Milky Way like that, even if you go to any of the few remaining “dark skies” places left in the U.S. They are made by long exposure cameras that follow the rotation of the Earth to get that sort of detail. Then the photographer superimposes desert scenes on top of them. Nice, but false. If you really want to see the stars as they are, I recommend eastern Nevada on a moonless night. And by that I don’t mean Las Vegas. You have to travel at least 100 miles north of Vegas to get away from the lights. 200 would be better. And bring a jacket and plenty of water.”

Thanx.

They ARE beautiful "photos", but the same torch carryin' dude in almost every one ?

The album covers were equally beautiful and dazzling .... spent MANY a stoned hour just "entering" those illustrations .....

People STILL pore over Sgt. Peppers'

Lonesome Ridge in the Guadalupe Mountains. Best place to see the stars.
