Circumpolar star trails over the Gila National Forest in southern New Mexico

Circumpolar star trails on a moonlit night in the Gila National Forest in southern New Mexico, north of Pinos Altos. Polaris is at upper left, the Little Dipper hanging below it, and the stars of the Big Dipper are rising at right, with the end star of the handle still to clear the horizon. Illumination is from the waxing quarter moon. The night had a lot of high cloud drifting, adding the streaks and patchiness to the sky

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of circumpolar star trails over the enchanting Gila National Forest in southern New Mexico. Bathed in the soft glow of a waxing quarter moon, this moonlit night reveals a celestial spectacle like no other. Polaris, the North Star, shines brightly at upper left, while below it hangs the delicate silhouette of the Little Dipper. As if emerging from behind nature's curtain, the stars of the Big Dipper rise gracefully on the right side of this ethereal composition. The night sky is adorned with streaks and patchiness caused by drifting high clouds, adding an element of mystery to this already captivating scene. The long exposure used to capture these star trails creates a sense of motion and blurred movement that enhances its tranquility and serenity. In this idyllic setting where nature reigns supreme, one can't help but be awestruck by the vastness and grandeur of our universe. This photograph encapsulates both the serene beauty found within our natural environment and humanity's eternal fascination with astronomy. Alan Dyer's skillful photography transports us to a place where time seems suspended; a remote wilderness nestled amidst towering trees and rolling valleys. It serves as a reminder that there is still magic to be discovered in even our most familiar surroundings - if only we take a moment to look up at the stars above us.
