Devil's Tower - A Different Perspective

[Colorado CJ]

I just got home yesterday from a cross country motorcycle trip. Stacked up over 2500 miles and had a lot of fun, got to see lots of stuff and a lot of relatives as well.

My first stop was Devil's Tower, Wyoming. About 370 miles from home and a great place to camp.

That night, I rode up a dirt road to the back of Devils Tower and hiked up a little hill.

Here's what I took a little after midnight on a moonless night. This little image doesn't do it justice. Looks quite a lot nicer on my large calibrated editing monitor at full size!

Hope you like it.

Nice foreground for a MW shot - just enough light to make out the ground and the trees. I like the angle of the MW relative to the shape of the Tower.

Hey Andy,

What a really fun trip that sounds like! The Devils Tower is really cool. I was finally able to get there last year and had a blast there.

This is a really sweet Milky Way shot. Good job!

PS. Please post some new Astro too, our Astro section is starting to really grow and your Astro photos would be the frosting on the cake!

Great MW you got here, just the right amount of foreground.

Looks like you had nice dark skies for this. I like how the sky looks.

I like this one a lot, Andy.
