Pondering the Milky Way

Best on black. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen stars with all our rain...but at least they show up in my archives. This was taken at Valley of Fire while doing some light painting.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

That is so well done. I love the “thinker” reflection on the glowing rock and the perfectly framed Milky Way. Perfection.
