A loop of the San Rafael River is apparent in the foreground, and that Milky Way dominates the sky

Bob Maynard and I had been out shooting star shots for three consecutive nights, and all three had clear skies. This night was the best, and I noted that there were no insects. So I simply spread out a ground cloth, then a therma-rest, then my sleeping bag and slept under the stars.. Every time I rolled over I enjoyed that magnificent starry sky.

The landscape was photographed during the Blue Hour--3 exposures, stacked in Photoshop. About 40 star shots were taken and rotated with starry landscape stacker. Land and sky composites were joined in photoshop.
