15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Milky Way Over The Wave

Coyote Butts North, Vermillion Cliffs Paria Canyon Wilderness, Arizona This shot had been planned for months as soon as I get the Wave permit 3 months ago. I knew I have to take the shot in September since the weather can be cool down a little bit and the milky way can be seen after the sunset, and we can make to the parking lot before the midnight according to the rule.
