Monument Rocks is a special place. These monoliths make for amazing foregrounds. Usually night photography is prohibited here, but I was granted special access by the landowners. I knew this was a shot I would have to try and create. The archway in the largest set of rocks is one of the most interesting features in all of Kansas! Spending the night out here under the stars, I wanted until the Milky Way would be framed just right in the doorway, then shot it again a couple of hours ago when the first hints of sunlight and the rising moonlight lit up the archway slightly. The result is this galactic doorway! Most of my limited edition night photography is shot with a star tracker - this allows me to get much more detailed versions of the night sky than simply shooting normal night photography would allow. The result means you can print this image about as large as you can imagine!
