A mushroom-shaped hoodoo stands tall in the New Mexico badlands while the Milky Way peeks through the clouds. Typically I aim to have clear skies when shooting the night sky, but I think the thin clouds in this image are adding a lot of interest to the scene. They look as if they were captured during sunset, but they are actually lit by light pollution from nearby towns. It was taken this May during a roadtrip to the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness in northwestern New Mexico.
New Mexico is a gorgeous state. With its lush forests in the Rocky Mountains, high plains, volcanoes, natural springs, deserts, and more, New Mexico truly is the Land of Enchantment.
