Michael Heeney took his camera and tripod out after dark in Joshua Tree National Park and found this — a lone juniper standing among the granite boulders, its trunk twisted and silver with age.
Thirty second exposure for the stars. His headlamp for the tree. The canopy glows green against a deep blue-purple sky, the boulders warm amber behind it, a faint glow on the horizon. The trunk has been growing in this direction for a very long time.
Every Distant Dawn print is professionally produced and custom framed, arriving ready to hang. This fine art photography print is printed on premium archival photo paper, built to hold the extraordinary detail of that ancient juniper and the depth of that desert night sky on your wall.
