We got out by the use of tryer boards under the wheel. we arrived at this spot and the three of us started shooting. this was the very end of the night I walked into the "valley" right up close to the dunes to try and cover the lights from the small hamlet of lancelin ( left side).<br /> <br /> the dune to my left shoulder is bigger than a house you get no usable scale in the black of night. The Milky way was getting smaller and lower so I walked down the dune into the valley. we left a 3 am I got in the house at 4:30 am just in time to turn off the alarm then crawled into bed.
