Big Bend Night Sky


















I didn't have a place to camp my first night in Big Bend, so I stayed mobile and just wandered around the park roads all night looking for good locations to photograph the night sky.  Pretty much anywhere was a "good spot", but I always try to find something interesting to frame in the foreground and that proved to be a bit of a challenge. I found a stretch of road that was framed nicely by the mountains but my favorite spot was a patch of Ocotillo not far from Santa Elena Canyon.  Big Bend is an International Dark Sky Park and I was blown away at how dark the nights were.
