The Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse in Acadia National Park is a great place to see the milky way with your naked eye during the summer.

I was so lucky to get this shot. Battled traffic and had a short run to get there just as the sun set. Just missed the best light but still came away with this. It's an iconic location but with light like this how could I not take the iconic shot?
