Re: Utah's Monolith under the Milky Way
Pretty sure the person who constructed it removed it. You'd have to know how it was constructed to be able to quickly remove it, which apparently is how it happened. Perhaps it will pop up somewhere else...

Re: Utah's Monolith under the Milky Way
Considering how much of the earth's surface man has tred upon (built upon, bulldozed, etc.) , I find it compelling that someone would install some art in the middle of nowhere, not really knowing if anyone would ever find it or not. Not that it should be open season for others to do the same, but ma...

Utah's Monolith under the Milky Way
I took a frantic drive out to a spot 80 miles WSW of Moab to 'greet the visitor'. Any Kubrick/2001 fan would be mesmerized by this thing sprouting up 17 miles down a bumpy dirt road near the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. 25 hours door-to-door, including 6.5 hours of shooting. Tried ...

Nearly 100 meteors streak over Mt. Antero on 12/14/18, from near Nathrop, Colorado. One meteor showed a 'persistent train' (a trail of ionized gases), which was visible for nearly 5 minutes before dissipating; a small meteor pierces Comet Wirtanen (right side, center). Captured over 5 hours, composi...

Milky Way and Aurora from Loveland Pass, CO
Went up to Loveland Pass, CO (11,990' MSL) Tuesday night to try and catch the edge of the aurora borealis, which was predicted to potentially creep down into our latitudes, which doesn't happen too often. Got some pretty decent shots that night, though the aurora was only faintly visible to the nake...
