The Milky Way over Hite
The Milky Way rises over the Hite Crossing bridge on the Colorado River and Glenn Canyon.
This photo was 3 years in the planning. And then an opportunity opened up: a clear sky, before the moon comes up, mid-week when we'd have the darkness to ourselves to work.
As soon as the sun set, the bridge started to groan from heat shrinkage and it kept making noise all night. The darkness of Glenn Canyon is among the darkest on earth, with no habitation for 100+ miles in any direction.
