EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a starry sky above the unique hoodoo formations at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada. Taken on August 18,2013, it showcases the celestial dance of Cassiopeia and Andromeda rising behind these natural wonders. The soft glow illuminating the scene is courtesy of the waxing gibbous moon, although not visible in this particular shot. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of this world heritage site as it combines elements of astronomy, geology, and natural splendor. The horizontal composition emphasizes the vastness and grandeur of both the night sky and these remarkable rock formations. With no people present in sight, viewers are invited to immerse themselves fully into this awe-inspiring nightscape. The barren desert landscape with its arid climate serves as a stark backdrop for these towering hoodoos formed by millions of years' worth of erosion on sedimentary rocks. Each spire tells a story written by time itself while showcasing Earth's fascinating geological history. Alan Dyer's photography skillfully captures not only an asterism but also highlights nature's inherent beauty found within cliffs and eroded sandstone structures. This image invites us to contemplate our place within the universe while marveling at our planet's incredible physical geography.
