While not a particularly interesting photo, it's interesting for me because I don't get to see these stars from home. Living at 34 degrees north latitude, the Southern Cross and the star Alpha Centauri are hidden from view. But at the 22 degrees north latitude of Kauai, these objects become visible above the southern horizon.
