Starlight

Cosmic Campground - Catron County, New Mexico

Beneath a dome unspoiled by modern light, the Milky Way arcs like the spine of the cosmos—ancient, luminous, unknowable. Shot from the Cosmic Campground, this photograph captures one of the few designated International Dark Sky Sanctuaries in the U.S., where silence and starlight speak louder than civilization. The galactic core glows like a distant memory, framed by silhouettes of junipers and the hush of sleeping desert. It’s not just a photo of stars—it’s a reminder that we are, in every possible way, made of this.
