"Gotcha"

Last night driving along, the milkyway was so stunning that I wanted to trap it and take it home. The only thing I could find on the lonely roadside was a big bin...so I trapped it in there. Will let it out again tonight so we can all share :-)

will put a few more on Instagram if anyones interested @wrangan

The bin was the only thing for miles around. I guess I had to work with what I had. The next night it escaped from a chimney...:-) as I left the bin near a fireplace lol
