18/30 Zion drawings- star gazing

I grew up in the city where at night all you could see were house lights, car lights and street lights. You couldn't look up and see the stars because of all the light pollution. (That's what my astronomy teacher called it) some times you could turn off all the house lights and look up in the sky and see some of the brighter stars but nothing beats going out into the country where there are no city lights for miles and looking up at the sky! That's how it was in the park. The stars were bright and beautiful. You could clearly see the milky way stretch across the sky. And I wasn't the only one to enjoy the speticle, there was a group of night hikers there identifying the constellations.
