A River of Stars

            The Milky Way rising up behind the winding stream of Hot Creek Gorge in the Mammoth Mountain area of the Eastern Sierra Nevada range. 

The Mammoth Mountain area sits on the edge of one of earths largest caldera's ( the Long Valley Caldera ). Hot Creek Gorge is one of the exit points for the hydrothermal system that is feed by snowmelt in the local mountains that feeds groundwater that is heated by the geothermal activity in the area and travels east to exit in the gorge. The gorge accounts for 70 percent of the total heat discharged by all thermal springs in Long Valley Caldera.

I love this area and have wanted to shoot the Milky Way here for a while. So on a recent Eastern Sierra Milky Way trip this was my last stop and I think it turned out pretty well.
