  • At first it had the appearance of puffy clouds on the southeast horizon. Then as it rose higher the Milky Way revealed more detail. The clouds were made not of water vapor, but of stars too numerous and densely packed to resolve individually. The bright core of the galaxy is split in two by a dark lane of cosmic dust known as the Great Rift. The Milky Way was soon followed by the rise of Jupiter, and then Saturn. Meanwhile shooting stars periodically flashed across the sky during the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower. The Lyrids are the oldest known meteor shower, first observed 2700 years ago. Of the 15 meteors I captured, this one was the brightest. Devil’s Kitchen is a small basin containing badlands-type terrain, but it may as well have been another planet. It’s a barren wasteland located on the west side of the Bighorn Mountains filled with fascinating geologic formations of all different colors. When I first found it last summer I knew I had to return to shoot it at night.
    Night at Devil's Kitchen
  • Devil's Kitchen is an interesting geological area east of Greybull, Wyoming. Very colorful badland features range from red to yellow to white and change appearance depending on the light. I feel like anywhere else this would be a well-visited park. But there are no facilities at this out-of-the-way spot, not even information signs. I was wondering why this small cave smelled so bad, until I saw a dead vulture at the bottom.
    Stinky Cave
  • I wondered around the bottom of Devil's Kitchen for awhile before the light faded. This fractal pattern in the dirt caught my eye.
