“I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly—or ever—gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe.” —Brian Greene

I took these pictures 11/8/18 on the Colorado National Monument. It was a class put on by the Monument and taught by Christopher K. Eaton. We hiked down a little way to get a good spot to photograph and then he helped us, with our different cameras, to take these night pictures. I had a blast and learned a lot. My feet got really cold, though. I did wear plenty of clothes and I had hand warmers, but my feet were what finally did me in. I can’t wait to do this again. I hope I can find someone with the same interest; I really don’t want to be out there alone at night. I’m not as brave (or foolhardy) as I once was.
