A daunting peak deep in the heart of Wyoming’s Cirque of Towers. World Class climbers come from all over to test their skills on the face of the peak. Most climbers get a very early start on their accent, often in the dark. The concept is the same for how this image was taken. This exposure began in the dark of night and continued on through sunrise. As the earth rotates, the stars make trails as they appear to circle around Polaris, creating lightly colored curved streaks of light. Then the first rays of sunlight begin to reflect off the summit of Pingora, making a magically surreal image.
