During a recent visit to Capital Reef, I overnighted near the Temples of the Sun and Moon in the Cathedral Valley loop of the Park to get some overnight star shots. As the day ended and the few visiting parties cleared out, this made me the only person within miles of the site - a great omen for star shots. Among other shots, this let me capture the Temple of the Sun shown in the sunset, night time, and sunrise shots included below.
The chance to spend 18 hours in the same general location also let me scout and plan out locations for different lighting conditions, which made the shots from this area the best in general that I captured during my 9 days in the park. Still, I loved the entire time there - this is a special and under-visited Park in a State with 5 true gems. I know that I'll be back.
