Dark Skies: Rare Phenomena in America's Public Lands Photography Book

A stunning landscape photography book for lovers of national parks photography, astrophotography, and rare natural phenomena. Dark Skies captures breathtaking scenes of night sky photography, from firefall in Yosemite to synchronous fireflies, moonbows, meteors, comets, and the Aurora Borealis—perfect for outdoor adventure seekers and armchair travelers alike. This book is my love letter to the National Park System. It explores America’s best idea in a way you haven’t seen before: after dark, when most of the crowds have gone home and you have the forest to yourself. At those special times when—if everything lines up just right—you have a chance to see something that’s once in a lifetime: A waterfall that catches fire at sunset for two weeks. Thousands of fireflies blinking in synchronicity for one week in one campground. A comet streaking over Death Valley once every sixty thousand years. A rainbow caused by moonlight three times a year. This book makes it so you don’t have to go further than your couch to see things most people never get to experience. But maybe it inspires you to add these wonders to your bucket list and start checking them off. Nothing would make me happier. With over 150 pages of national parks photography, personal stories, and natural wonders, Dark Skies is for readers who love stargazing, hiking and photography, conservation, and bucket list adventures. It’s a celebration of American public lands and the awe-inspiring beauty of staying outdoors long after the sun goes down, a must-have gift for any nature lover or solo traveler’s collection.
