americasgreatoutdoors:The comet NEOWISE glows in the night sky above Nebraska’s iconic Chimney Rock. Both sights bring such hope and inspiration. A prominent part of the landscape during the western migration, Chimney Rock, used to be substantially taller. Overtime wind, erosion and lightning have cut down its height, but it remains a striking landmark. Erik Johnson remarks, “As I stood there in silence under the moonlight, I couldn’t help but wonder what other remarkable celestial events were witnessed by travelers before me, in the dark skies above the towering rock formation.” Photo of Chimney Rock, a significant landmark for those traveling on the Oregon, California and Mormon trails, courtesy of Erik Johnson. -- source link
