A cloudy morning at Big Bend Campground outside Moab, UT
The river forms one of the boundaries of Arches National Park

Large!

I was hoping for a later moonrise (to get more stars), but this turned out pretty decent. The Big Dipper is in the middle of the frame. The Colorado River was behind me.

We actually got to this campsite in the dark and had no idea what the landscape looked like around us. The moon gave some clues as it rose over those rocks on the right.

VIEW LARGE (it's necessary)

Went on a last minute trip to the Moab area of Utah Friday/Saturday. It was a nice break from the snowy landscapes around Colorado!

Took this from the Panorama Point overlook on Flagstaff Mountain the other night. Not amazing, but I thought it was decent enough to post (considering it was handheld, at night, at f/1.4 and 1600 ISO.) It helped that it was a cloudy night, so the city lights were reflected off the clouds, and then reflected again off the snow, sort of lighting up the shadows a bit.

I suggest viewing this LARGE

We got about 2 feet of snow here yesterday
