Forest Gump Highway
The Forest Gump Highway, Highway 163 in Monument Valley. In the movie, Forest Gump ran for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours, or approximately 19,024 miles, 30,016 km. Wow. This is where he stopped running, milepost 13. At certain times of the year the Milky Way lines up with the Highway. On this night there was considerable smoke on the horizon from wildfires, and local homesteads create some light pollution that illuminates the smoke. The smoke magnifies the effect of the light pollution. Single exposure. Hope you enjoy!
If you are considering a night photo tour in Monument Valley consider contacting Majestic Monument Valley Tours and ask for a night tour with Quanah. He introduced me to areas I never knew existed.
