Milky Way Over Rhode Island Salt Flats in beneath thin cloud gaps and stars in Rhode Island

Milky Way Over Rhode Island Salt Flats

by Betty Hendrix

A dense band of starlight stretches across the sky above a flat, white expanse of salt. Thin gaps in the cloud cover reveal the Milky Way's luminous core, while the ground remains in deep shadow. The texture of the salt surface appears rough and crystalline under the dim starlight, catching a faint rim of illumination along the horizon. Autumn leaves scattered near the edge of the frame show muted oranges and browns, against the stark white earth. The cold, dry air creates a sharp clarity in the stars above. One cluster of dark leaves rests on the salt crust in the foreground.
