The Oliver Cabin in Cades Cove. This required that I walk a mile and a half into the cove at dusk, set up, and after taking the photos, walk back out in the dark. I want to thanks by assistants, Smoky the Bear, who dropped by in the dark to help me hasten my work and the Iphone app Photopills who helped me get the Milky way in the right position. Please use the download to view this image.
Thanks for looking.

That’s a beautiful photo, Larry. Nice work.
Thank you jaymatt. Photopills allowed me to find the optimum time and date to be there. I used yellow balloons to cover my flash heads to tint the cabin "lights" then merged the natural world exposure with the light to get the final product. I did have a major discussion with the bear that showed up when I was trying to shoot. He just walked up the the place I had set up my tripod. Thankfully he didn't knock it over.
Thanks for looking

COPYWRITE it .. and share it with the world ...

Absolutely stunning image - great job on the lighting and composition.
Thank you yssirk123. Composition was hard because the main angle of view was determined by the Milky Way. I only had a little bit of wiggle room. It actually took 2 nights, first to see exactly where the MW would be so I could properly light the cabin and then the second night to put it all together.
