Comet Hartley 2 visits our neighborhood
Comet Hartley and the Double ClusterThis image was taken from Spruce Knob in the highlands of West Virginia on October 9 at 1:00 a.m. The image shows the green glow of Comet Hartley 2 as it graces our neighborhood of the solar system on its latest journey to the sun. Also in the picture is the deep sky object known as the Double Cluster. The cluster is made up of two distinct open clusters of stars and are also know as NGC 869 and 884. The comet was visited by the EPOXI Mission spacecraft on November 4 and the amazing images from that visit are featured on this APOD page. The comet's closest approach to Earth was 11 million miles on October 28 and will visit our neighborhood again in April 2017.
November 2010 Print of the Month: Buckskin Gulch Glow
Buckskin Gulch GlowThe November Print of the Month is "Buckskin Gulch Glow" from the most recent visit to the Colorado Plateau.
Incredible fleeting glow in Buckskin Gulch in June 2010. Buckskin is a fabulous hike from the trailhead at The Wave in the Paria Wilderness area in Utah. On this day a brief moment of intense sunlight provided the incredible glow on the opposing wall of the gulch and created a most unique light in the cavernous system.
The print is luminescent on Canson Baryta Photographique paper and can be purchased at a 20% discount for the next 30 days.
Dead Horse Point Sunrise
Dead Horse Point State Park, UTOne of the iconic overlooks in the western U.S. is Dead Horse Point just outside of Moab, UT. The overlook is breathtaking, especially as the morning light begins to cover the canyon. The rocky overlook is 2,000 feet above the Colorado River below. You may Google the state park for more information on how the name came to be. I hope you enjoy the image and may it "take you there." The print is made on Canson Baryta Photographique paper. For best presentation, please click on the image to go the the "Southwest" gallery and then click on the thumbnail for a black portfolio presentation.

Cumulonimbus
CumulonimbusA new image from the June visit to the Colorado Plateau presents the spectacular clouds that were building just outside of St. George, UT. The clouds were forming rapidly and the interplay of the clouds with the surrounding mountains was spectacular. Later that afternoon, Ken and I experienced a pretty intense hail storm while enjoying lunch. A few things that I wanted to represent in this image are the luminescence of the clouds as well as the slight red glow that lights the bottom of the cloud deck. The luminescence is most visible in the uprising cloud structure and looks as though the energy in the cloud is about to burst. The red glow on the bottom cloud deck is from the reflected light off of the desert.
This print is made on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper.
