Description
For some reason I'm a glutton for punishment and decided to visit Enchanted Rock in the middle of Summer, which is prime time for sighting the arch of the Milky Way over the rocky landscape. In this case I started my hike at around 8:20PM at 98F and arrived at Moss Lake an hour later. I hadn't checked the sky app on the phone so I wasn't really sure whether the shot I envisioned would be possible but I suppose it kind of did. This is an image of Enchanted Rock taken from Moss Lake, near Walnut Springs Primitive Camping area in the north side of the state natural area. I shot the foreground at twilight and did a thirty-second exposure of the sky half an hour later. After I was finished I made my way back to the parking lot on the Loop trail in the middle of the night and it was truly an exhilarating experience. Thanks for looking!
