Fraction of photo captured in article
Outside of Winslow, Arizona (where, by the way, there really is a man standing on a corner), sits Meteor Crater, the remnants of a meteor slamming into the earth long ago. I’ve seen the crater courtesy of Delta at 30,000 feet, and when I was young I hiked down into the bottom of it with my family. Sadly, I drove by there a few years ago and learned they don’t let anyone hike down anymore.
How cool would it have been to experienced a thunderstorm from the bottom of giant crater, or viewed the crystal clear desert night sky?
National Geographic photographer Steven Alvarez spent three consecutive nights at the bottom of the crater a couple of years ago striving to get a photo of a meteor streaking across the sky. And what pictures he captured: A lightning storm, and more impressively, an amazing view of the night sky that one just doesn’t see in the smoggy city.
Wow.
