White Pocket Milky Way


 









Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona

From my trip to the southwest this past fall, White Pocket in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is easily one of my favorite places in the desert. The unique landscape here defies description. You really need to see it yourself to believe it. This is my third time visiting the location and the first time visiting it during new moon, which meant that I had awesome views of the stars and the Milky Way. Thanks to the time of year and the lack of any nearby light pollution it didn't take long for the Milky Way to become visible after the sun went down. There was still some dusk light visible in the sky when I made this photo.
