After Dark
Below: Ancient Lonely Bristlecone: Dead Horse Overlook, Utah
It is 3:30 AM, February 23rd, and 9 degrees on the night of a "New Moon." I am starting another pilgrimage to a remote section of Utah overlooking Dead Horse Basin near a cliff. The stars fill the sky like a million snowflakes suspended in space and time. Working alone, I set up my tripod, fingers numb with cold and capture what I think will be a beautiful wall hanging of an Ancient and lonely Bristlecone Pine, which is over 1000 years old. Before I leave, I join the scene for a “selfie” examining the heavens to ponder the how and why of my existence. There are 125 Billion Galaxies in the observable universe. In the image below, you are observing one photograph with no manipulation. A simple 13-second-long exposure to gather light from the the faintest stars in the universe.
