Sedona is one of a handful of cities on the International Dark Skies Community list. Not only can you see a thick blanket of stars at night, you can even see the Milky Way with the naked eye. May I present Milky Way over Sedona, photographed at 1:00am in the morning in May 2020.
I have always vowed to greet sunrise as often as I can, and on road trips this becomes a balancing act between photographing late into the night, greeting sunrise, and driving hundreds of miles afterward. On this last day of our father-son road trip, the already tenuous cloud cover began to stream away just as the first light of dawn touched the ancient walls of the canyon, setting the stage for a sunrise to be remembered... Photographed August 2021.
