Description

This was a last minute, unplanned shot, during our recent trip to visit the Maroon Bells in Aspen, CO. We were only there for 2nights so I hadn't counted on good night time conditions plus the Moon was going to be out. Conditions cleared and we decided to go check things out. Timed everything perfectly as the Moon was hidden behind one mountain but provided nice lighting to illuminate the valley and changing Aspens almost like it was daytime. And with it hidden behind a mountain, I was able to capture the Milky Way in the shot as well.
