19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Moon and Orion over Arches National Park
Shortly after a moonrise at Arches National Park in Utah, USA. As the park is open 24 hours, one has access to the unique arched rock formations under various lighting. I was taken by the whispy clouds and the clarity of the Orion constellation overhead. And with the moon rising above, the tradeoff of it outshining many stars and the Milky Way permitted an illumination the natural rock formations below.
