A long-anticipated journey to Palouse Falls—one of Eastern Washington’s true dark-sky locations—led to this favorite image. Captured on a warm June night, with summer breezes and the roar of the falls echoing 600 feet below, I stood completely alone beneath an astonishingly clear sky. The Milky Way was visible to the naked eye. This artwork is a composite, blending the waterfall photographed just after sunset with the night sky captured after full darkness, carefully combined in post-processing. Add this striking moment of solitude and wonder to your collection.
