Explanation:
This
surreal timelapse, landscape, panorama
spans
predawn, blue hour, and sunrise skies.
Close to the start of
planet
Earth's northern hemisphere spring,
the flow of time was captured between 4:30 and 7:00 am
from a location overlooking northern New Mexico's Rio Grande Valley.
In tracked images of the
night sky
just before twilight begins,
the Milky Way is cast across the southern (right) edge of the panoramic frame.
Toward the east, a range of short and long exposures resolves
the changing brightness as the
Sun rises
over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
In between, exposures made during the spring morning's tantalizing
blue hour are used to
blend the night sky and sunrise over the high desert landscape.
