Star Explosion

McWay falls drop 80 feet to the beach year around, flowing from McWay Creek in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in central coastal California. It’s one of the only two falls in California that directly empties in the Pacific Ocean, Alamere Falls being the other one. A few things need to come together for a picture like this: the timing and location of the Milky Way, a moonless night and a cloudless sky -and of course a little luck. This photo is a blended exposure, the beach and falls are a 5 minute exposure, the sky and Milky Way, 30 seconds. I was lucky to have the falls to myself late at night — it was a magic moment. Highway 101. Central California. September 2019.

It's midnight at Gates of the Valley in Yosemite National Park. All is quiet and peaceful. The fog that blanketed the valley earlier in the evening is lifting. The moon illuminates the Merced. All is well. Yosemite National Park. September 2019.
