Milky Way over an alien land.... - a photo on Flickriver

            "Milky way over an ALIEN land..."

This particular early morning gave me a few unique opportunities for capturing the milky way over different foregrounds. This area was the second spot and a later morning shot for the sky. We scouted for numerous hours during the day and then used a track we had saved on our GAIA app, to find the exact location for the composition in the dark. That was an adventure of it's own!!! After capturing the milky way images, I waited a couple of hours for the sun to begin its early morning illumination. This is a time blend of 2 images. The camera is never moved between shots.
Somewhere in undisclosed in Utah 4-8-2022.
