Night Photography

The nights in Zion Canyon can be cacophonous at times as the hard cliffs keep in all the noise that is generated on the flatland.  The crickets are loud, the river is ever flowing and crashing onto the rocks, the large insects and bats swoosh their way through the night sky, and any bird that makes a night sound or rustle is easily heard.

During the rare times that there is cloud cover at night or when the moon is just a sliver of itself, the stars aren't enough to fully illuminate the place, but when the sky is clear and the moon is mostly present, we're afforded a chance to see this darkened, martian landscape in a thoroughly different way.
