Rebekah and I took this photo in eastern Colorado, at the Karval Reservoir, located in the high plains about an hour and a half from Colorado Springs.
This was our first time shooting in Karval, and we were impressed with how dark and desolate the area is. Other than a few cattle farms, it's surrounded by nothing but endless plains. We walked around the reservoir while we waited for the Milky Way to rise, and then began taking pics around midnight.
