Panoramic astrophotograph of Wild Horse Cave in Southern Utah. The cave itself is a juxtaposition of natures dramatic rock varnish and a human element of petroglyphs (visible in the lower lefthand of the image). The photo was taken with extremely lucky timing, with the Milky Way lining-up in the mouth and 'eye' of the cave just after midnight. Multiple photos went into the image, allowing the full cave to be photographed and stitched together giving a grandness to the cave that a single exposure would not have been able to capture.
