Star Trails over Clarno

Star Trails: Clarno, Oregon

Hazy atmospherics, thanks to drifting smoke in and around the Clarno Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, added a lovely warm cast to this approximate 3-hour spin of our planet against the heavens.

Inspirations

My object has always been to get as close to the real thing as possible — people animals and country. The melodramatic Wild West idea is not for me the big possibility. The more lasting qualities are in the quiet and more broadly human aspects of Western life.
