Goblin Valley State Park
Half the Park is After Dark
🌟 International Dark Sky Park #11
August 16, 2020
Another extraordinary sky fell upon this extraordinary landscape. And I had some big photo plans. First, I’d need the Milky Way. And boom, there it is.
Next, I’d need a good spot. Yes, this would be perfect.
Then–become a Galaxy Fighter! Yes, a weird idea I had on my couch in Brooklyn was coming to life. I was pleased I was able to pull it off… though holding a position still for the long exposure would be a challenge. As would high heels… and a zipper I busted as I hastily got undressed in the dark in front of a bunch of weird rock forms. Not bad for a first try. Now I want to do more of these mash-ups, combining my love fore dressing in costume with astrophotography.
I asked that shooting star to zoom by
Barbarella-inspired!
Feeling accomplished, I ditched the space invader garb and headed into the main Valley to shoot some hoodoos with the Milky Way.
The bright light is only in the pictures. The Valley was hard to navigate, disorientating.
Catching many shooting stars
Time to head back to the yurt. A successful shoot at Dark Sky Park #11.
