Big Dipper over West Mitten, Monument Valley

The Big Dipper on its handle swinging up over the West Mitten butte at Monument Valley, Arizona/Utah border. This is a single exposure illuminated by moonlight, of 60 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 500 with the 24mm lens and Canon 6D. I shot this April 4, 2015 on a partly cloudy night, with the nearly Full Moon rising in the east.
