EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the ethereal beauty of the night sky over Banff National Park in Canada. Taken on a misty August evening, the image showcases the majestic Castle Mountain standing tall against a partially cloudy backdrop. The main attraction, however, is none other than Ursa Major - also known as the Big Dipper - shining brightly above this serene landscape. The moonlight casts a soft glow on everything it touches, illuminating the valley below and highlighting every detail of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Towering evergreen spruce trees dotting the woodlands add to the enchantment of this nightscape. In this horizontal composition devoid of human presence, nature takes center stage. The stars twinkle with an unparalleled brilliance against a canvas painted with wispy clouds that seem to dance among them. As one gazes at this photograph, they are transported into an untouched wilderness where physical geography meets celestial wonders. It serves as a reminder of our planet's inherent beauty and invites us to appreciate its pristine environment. Alan Dyer's skillful photography has captured not just an asterism but also an atmosphere filled with tranquility and awe-inspiring natural grandeur. This stunning image is sure to captivate anyone who beholds it and evoke a sense of wonder for both our earthly surroundings and what lies beyond in space.
