| The Milky Way |
I went on a hike around Buffalo Mountain just west of Silverthorne, Colorado. The first night we pitched camp on the trail to Red Buffalo Pass and I set my camera at 11,424 feet photographing the Milky Way throughout the night. Smoke from forest fires burning in California and Montana created a thick red haze throughout the day and a green shimmer at night. With clearing skies throughout sunset and in to the next day, stars blazed throughout the night above the New Moon's pitch black Rocky Mountains.
I time-lapsed the subsequent images in to a video below. Help preserve our dark skies...
