Sky Sunday

The sky's beauty truly shines in the desert. Here was the moon setting over a sculpted rocky cliff.
And Shyla standing in the desert with the red cliffs and blue sky behind her.
Millions and millions of stars shined each night. The Milky Way...
A Shooting Star over a cliff...
One night, the clouds rolled in while my camera was busy taking star photos as I slept. A rumble of thunder and flashes of lightning awakened me. I rushed out to save my camera from the rain that was about to fall, and I discovered that my camera had captured the cliff at the instant of a flash of lightning. It turned the cloudy sky purple.
What an incredibly beautiful world we live in!

    Love that last shot. I need to pick your brain on how you set the camera up to shoot at night. Can you email me the directions?

    I hadn't thought of letting the camera do all the work while I sleep... brilliant! And what a great chance capture!
