Description

Stars over Yosemite. The milky way stretches across Yosemite valley.

It’s always a challenge to stay up late into the night when you want to catch sunrise the next morning. I was tired from a long day of exploring and hiking but I had to take this chance when I could see the milky way directly over my head. I set up my tripod in the middle of a meadow and kept my ears open for any sound of bear or puma. I heard many sounds but was not eaten. I was filled with wonder as my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I could see the stars like sand on the beach with the river of the galaxy flowing through.
