Stories of the constellations have been passed down through generations in both indigenous and other cultures. Humans and animals have used the stars for navigation for thousands of years – and still do today. When the stars are hidden by light pollution, we begin to lose our way.
This picture was taken in the Badlands area in Grasslands National Park, a so-called Dark Sky Preserve and a protected area for one of the largest contiguous natural grasslands in North America. The Badlands landscape features isolated mesas, weathered rock formations, and eroded gullies.
Upon my hat sit indigo finches, using the stars to navigate. With the universe on their wings, they lead me towards the stars, where I seek answers in the sky.
