Three Sisters at Night Big Bend with the right light and

with the right light and perspective

The Eye of Alabama Hills arch is one of those formations that rewards slowing down

serving as a corridor for wildlife

and modern artifacts rarely hold my attention for long

The result is darker than my usual work

Three Sisters at Night Big Bend with the right light andSuperstition Mountains, Arizona This photograph was made in the Superstition Mountains at night, looking toward the Three Sisters formation. The desert had fully settled by then. Wind dropped, temperatures fell, and the landscape shifted into something slower and quieter. Unlike the dramatic Milky Way core that rises in the southern and southeastern sky, this view faces roughly west. From this direction, the core never appears above the formation.
