Photographer Dan Zafra fromCapture the Atlasis used to traveling to exotic locations to capture his imagery.
This made it the perfect weekend getaway for Zafra, who is known for hisastrophotography.
As one of the Adirondack High Peaks, the mountain gave them crystal clear views of the sky.
Zafra took advantage of the moment and photographed the Milky Way over the picturesque environment.
The opportunity for astrophotography continued as Zafra was also in the area for the Neowise Comet viewing.
This long period comet is known for being exceptionally bright, but it only comes around every 6,800 years.
His image of the comet over Lake Placid shows the incredible brightness of Neowise.
One shows the golden light of dawn filtered through atmospheric clouds that dance across the treetops.
The second showcases a sunset at Avalanche Lake, one of the more remote locations in the mountains.
