Sure. Two or three isolated points of light. But that's not what these 
photographs show at all.

I always assumed that "the milky way" was something you could only see 
with a space-based telescope. Certainly I've never seen anything vaguely 
approximating the astonishing images shown here. (Then again, some of 
them probably have a 3-minute exposure or something insane like that, 
which the human eye can't do.)
