LANDSCAPES AND ASTRONOMY

The following images combine grandiose landscapes with astronomical objects like the Moon or constellations. All the images have been taken with an Olympus E-10 digital camera and are single shots (no montage!).

Monument Valley (Arizona)
Arches National Park (Utah)
Bryce Canyon (Utah)
Sacramento Peak Solar Observatory (New Mexico)

Bryce Canyon is perhaps the most extraordinary landscape I have ever seen. Click here for another page with photos.
