Eastern Sierra Winter Sky

The winter stars shine brightly above Buttermilk Boulders, a popular rock climbing area on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. A waxing crescent moon provides a contrast of light and shadow on the rock formations just before it sets behind the mountains to the west.
