The Big Bend NASA Pod Big Bend When the sky finally revealed

When the sky finally revealed itself

This photograph was made in Telluride during autumn

The goal was to preserve the natural flow of the sand and the quiet transition into darkness

or the spectacle

Despite the harsh conditions

The Big Bend NASA Pod Big Bend When the sky finally revealedBig Bend Region, Texas We call it this the NASA Pod for obvious reasons. It isnt a spacecraft its an old cement mixer, abandoned in the desert and slowly being reclaimed by dust and time. But the first time you see it lying there under a night sky, glowing like something radioactive and misplaced, it feels less like construction equipment and more like debris from another era. Thats how Big Bend can be sometimes, you head out looking for mountains,
