After a somewhat hair raising 4X4 road trip to Crystal Mill it was neat to have the place to myself as the evening progressed. Tried several different compositions but this is one of my favorites from this location. The image is a composite with the foreground taken earlier in the evening.
A Milky Way from the Black Canyon of Gunnison, south rim in western Colorado. It surrounds part of a deep, steep-walled gorge carved through Precambrian rock by the Gunnison River. Roads and trails along the north and south rims have views of the Black Canyon's dramatic drops and the striated Painted Wall cliff. Light from a lone camper was visible on the valley floor.
We visited West Virginia during the fall season in 2019 and got to experience some beautiful waterfalls in the Blackwater State Park area. This is the lower Elakala Falls on Shays Run.
