Description
Wile my recently published time lapse movie "Stars on the Move" (see: https://youtu.be/LAT9HzQnPMo) contains footage from this remote place in northern Arizona, I have not posted any stills from there. Definately something I have to change...
I found this canyon during my search for interesting foreground features in places that are not as crowded as some of the "bucket list" landmarks in the Southwest. The red sandstone rocks with their crisscrossing white lines reminded me of crazy petroglyphs or an alien graffitti. On closer scrutiny however, they clearly are of natural origin.
Of course, I had to stay for the night and not surprisingly, I had this incredible location all to myself. Ok, there were a few coyotes in the area, but I did not see a human soul within 20 miles. Dark skies and beautiful rocks, are what a landscape astrophotographers dreams are made of...
This is a great example for how rewarding it can be to leave the beaten path and find "new" places instead of crowding a few overshot features with dozens of other photographers.
