We spent Elias' first birthday celebration weekend in Walburg. Elias had lots of visitors, presents, and cake. He also had his share of bumps, cuts, and bruises getting used to walking around his new environment. We'll make a traveler of him yet.

The Big Dipper, 30 min/f3.5/ISO 100 on Canon 28mm prime. It was very overexposed, had to darken the image a lot. I should have stopped way down from previous exposure, duh, it's 15x longer.
