All the Lights of La Veta

image is available for purchase

For the night sky photographer, small towns everywhere are a source of light pollution and potential frustration. That said, sometimes the glow of a town on the horizon adds a touch of life to an image or inspires a different way to see the light. On this occasion, I turned the though upside down, viewing all the lights in the sky — the stars, the Milky Way, Jupiter, the constellations — as extensions of the lights of La Veta, Colorado. Suddenly, La Veta was a very big place with an expansive aura and influence.

All the Lights of La Veta
The image is of a night sky. The horizon line sweeps down from the left and back up to the right, and in the low spot in the middle, the light glow from the town of La Veta shine a goldish orange. But above is the expanse of thousands of stars, the Milky Way, and Jupiter.© Randy Heffner inspect image detail »
