I don’t know if this place is technically part of Spearfish Canyon since it’s probably a mile or two west of what I consider the canyon, but I always wanted to shoot this old shed with the milky way core above it. So, having ideal weather, I made the trip out.
It was a clear, windless and slightly cool evening which carried the sounds of the yelping coyotes, and the bugle of a bull elk as close as I’d care to have them. All that and being under the stars with my camera… well that’s heaven.
