Monument Valley, Utah

Stars and moon light filled this beautiful night. It snowed heavily, some of the largest snow flakes I've ever seen, the night before. I was so happy, thinking I would find a blanked of snow on the ground for this shot and the following day. I was dissapointed but happy that there was at least a trace of it left. It was cloudy when I started to shoot, but as the morning approached, it cleared, bringing this spectacular moonlit, starry night.

Luckily I had a balcony to do these photos. The temperature was in the low 20's. What I did was to set up my camera in the balcony. I would shoot and come back into the warm cozy blanket. If it only was this easy to take pictures...

 

La luz de la luna y las estrellas llenaron esta bella noche. Nevo fuertemente, con unos colplos de nieve gigantes, como nunca los habia visto. Estaba tan contenta, porque esperaba encontrar una sabana blanca en el piso, para esta foto y las de la siguiente mañana. Lamentablemente solo quedo un poco, lo que se puede ver aca. Fue una noche muy fria, la temperatura alrededor de 20 grados. La ventaja de haber tenido un balcon, de donde tomar las fotos y entrar prontamente, a calentarme bajo las sabanas. Si todas las fotos fueran asi de fácil!
