Shine on you crazy Diamond! - a photo on Flickriver

To realize a life long dream is a special feeling; I've always wanted to look up at the galaxy, gaze at the heavens and simply immerse myself in it's wondrous light. I finally got that chance at Joshua tree national park and thank my dear friend for dragging me here at long last!

This is a vertical panorama of 7 images, hand stitched in Photoshop.
