Sand and Stone
Sand and Stone: Looking out of a large alcove in the high desert of the Colorado Plateau. This is a site that I visited with @naturalwildimage (Robert McKendrick) when we were preparing for a workshop associated with the Nightscaper Conference. Robert guided me to the site, thanks Robert! I love framing the Milky Way looking out from these large alcoves, and this one happens to contain a pretty large sand dune making it different than the usual alcove. We had hoped to find the sand pristine and without footprints, but as you can see there were footprints everywhere, sigh. This is another site getting overly popular I’m afraid. It’s still a beautiful place to spend a night! Stacked Image, 15mm, f/2.8, 20 sec, ISO 5000.
