A quiet moment in the Valles Caldera. 🪶 Watching this Horned Lark blend perfectly into the high-altitude landscape. There is such a quiet, resilient beauty in these small birds as they forage across the vast, open plains of New Mexico. 🌾✨

The Milky Way over Valles Caldera — where darkness brings out the quiet beauty of New Mexico’s night sky. What’s the most unforgettable sky you’ve seen?

The Milky Way glows over Valles Caldera, with pine silhouettes standing watch under a sky full of stars.

Can you see the Milky Way near where you live?

Went to a night hike of the Valles Caldera National Monument three nights ago in hopes of seeing some of the Perseids Meteor Shower. The rangers were great and the caldera is fascinating. Pro tip, though: Don’t expect to see meteors during a full moon. #newmexico #nationalparks #vallescaldera

The Milky Way over Valles Caldera, New Mexico — just beginning to emerge as night falls. No tracker, just a peaceful single exposure under some of the best skies in the Southwest.
