Description

Uranium ore tailings shot near an abandoned Uranium mine in Utah.

While I was capturing this scene, I liked to think about the fact that all of this Uranium was likely born in a single violent moment when some ancient star was going supernova, and has been gradually decaying ever since.

Also probably the first time I witnessed such strong purely red atmospheric glow.

Hope you enjoy!

PS. I used a UV flashlight to light it up, of course it doesn't glow like that by itself.
