A True Image from False Kiva

Is there any place in the world you could see a real sight like this? Yes.
Pictured above is single exposure image spectacular near, far, and in between.
Diving into the Earth far in the distance is part of the central band of our
Milky Way Galaxy, taken with a long duration exposure. Much closer, the
planet Jupiter is visible as the bright point just to band's left. Closer still are
picturesque buttes and mesas of the Canyonlands National Park in Utah, USA,
lit by a crescent moon. In the foreground is a cave housing a stone circle of
unknown origin named False Kiva. The cave was briefly lit by flashlight during
the long exposure. Astrophotographer Wally Pacholka reports that getting to
the cave to take this image was no easy trek. Also, mountain lions were a concern
while waiting alone in the dark for just the right exposure.
