Scorpius and its Arch
During my June trip to the US, I had the pleasure to meet with Eric Gail to shoot at this not widely known arch. After scouting the place in the late afternoon, we were hoping for a colorful sunset. As it happens too often, the clouds that were present during the day, dissolved within minutues, when the sun was approaching the horizon. Too bad, but this meant clear skies for our Milky Way shots and and as this was the main reason for my trip, I was quite happy.
