You do not report the TIME at which this was taken!
At what time did you have to get up to be there for this magnificent point in time?

I absolutely love how you can see the stars, and how the colour of the sky deepens from light blue to indigo as one's eye travels upwards from the silhouetted rocks. Beautiful.

You got the stars excellently in your shot. Thanks for the nice picture. Yea LaFoto is right. At what time did you get up to get the shoot.

Thanks for all of the kind comments. I was actually up most of the night perusing areas to shoot this shot. I'm not normal in that regard. I can go several days with just a couple of hours of sleep when I'm psyched up to take landscape shots.

Wow, this shot was worth the effort. I would have liked to see more stars but I am a bit biased. Killer image.

Fine shot.
