an eye on our galaxy
From inside Colonnade Arch, two windows have views straight up. This one was inviting, for its outline suggested an eye.
The curious feature appearing against the sky is a ragged juniper.
This image is a composite: one frame for the sandstone, and 22 (each 8 sec, iso 6400, Rokinon 24 mm lens) for the starry sky. The frames for the sky were rotated by StarryLandscapeStacker to form a bright, focused image and then joined to the single sandstone image with a layer mask in Photoshop.
