Havasu Falls During International Dark Sky Week

Hiked all the way into to Havasu Falls during the New Moon this April (International Dark Sky Week), my intent was to shoot the Milky Way!! In a world where AI generated images dominate, it can be tough to know how much effort goes into creating real images like these. I can honestly say I really worked my butt off for this one, from planning, hiking and final processing, it was all worth it.
