Milky Way over the Ridge

The Milky Way standing up out of a gap between two eroded clay walls on the Pawnee National Grassland, the core bright enough to read against a sky still holding a little blue.

Far enough east of the Front Range that the sky goes properly dark. A long exposure with the foreground lit only by what the sky gives it, so the rock stays in silhouette and the band of the galaxy does all the work.

Location: Pawnee National Grassland, Colorado

Made to order. Choose an unframed lustre photo print — shipped rolled in a protective tube — a framed lustre print in black, white or natural wood, ready to hang with acrylic glazing and hanging hardware included, or a stretched canvas, gallery-wrapped over a 19 mm wooden stretcher bar and ready to hang straight from the box.
