Alien Dreams

Shortly before astronomical dawn, a thin haze started to cover the sky, slightly blurring the stars. While I normally prefer the sharp and crisp stars of an absolutely clear sky, I kind of like the contrast between the alien looking foreground and the dreamy looking sky.

 

The image was taken during my overnight trip to the White Pocket area on the Paria Plateau in Arizona. Two LED panels were used for Low Level Lighting of the foreground.
