Milky Way Above The Sierra Nevada Mountains
This past week amidst a quick run to photograph the eastern Sierra’s I experienced a moment of true bliss. I didn’t have much time to spare on my trip so I made use of every minute available to me to photograph the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain region. On the road at 1 AM and not stopping until 11 PM, my all day of travel and photography hit its peak at 10 PM when I photographed the Milky Way extending up above the Sierra Nevada mountains near Mono Lake. Although cold, exposed to gusting winds and flying debris I hardly ever noticed as I gazed up and photographed this amazing sight.

An arm of the Milky Way surrounded by billions of stars
extends up above the Sierra Nevada mountains.
