When we arrived at the Quiver Tree Forest, we were fortunate to have some cloud coverage. Usually on our visits we end up having blue skies and zero clouds. This time the conditions were fantastic. As the sun began to set, lightening lit up portions of the sky; the splashes of light added a nice addition to the photos.
As we left the Quiver Tree Forest the sky was stormy, and it looked like we were going to be shut out of our night sky photo shoot. But after dinner the clouds started to clear out and we went back to the forest for some Milky Way photography. We ended up having a terrific time and had lots of photo opps.
A few of my favorite this year from Quiver Tree...

Some clouds added a nice touch to the night sky. The orange was enhanced by leaving my camera set to cloudy white balance.
