Southern Cross and Plam Tree, Savai'i, Samoa, Stars, Long Exposure
This is a long exposure shot of the Southern Cross taken in Samoa. The light on the palm tree is ambient light from a near by building. The exposure was about 30 seconds. I adjusted the exposure in Photoshop to make the palm tree more apparent, and that also brought out more stars.

The Southern Cross is on the flag of Samoa.
